Settled

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who helped us move! It went much more quickly and more smoothly than we could have imagined. It actually was a lot of fun!

First a big thanks the Abby, my mom and Avery for coming to help pack. Avery helped a lot as you can see....

Some moving day, we were all packed and just needed the muscles to get everything down our three flights of stairs, into the uhaul and then into the new house.

The Uhaul almost full

Thank you to the Pyle's for feeding our movers these delicious cupcakes

Now that we are settled in our new home.... here are some pictures of it all put together!

We are undecided if we want to paint our living room, but I think we;ll keep it as is for a few months. Not the beautiful ceiling fan that Jesse installed:)

To paint the kitchen orange or to not.... that is the questions

Thanks to my mom and Jesse's mom for helping me paint our bedroom! It's a kind of grayish blue with one wall darker


An Jesse's office! A smokey greenish color? I don't know how to describe these colors....

R&N romping around the back yard. It's their favorite thing to do...

Our summer project, we'll hopefully turn this bonus room into a guest room and a loft.


Thank you again for everyone's help! We are so thankful for amazing friends and family. We feel God's blessings every day and are extremely excited to use our new home to fellowship with everyone we know.

Our first home!

First I must dedicate this post to my sister Becka, who casually told me that she checks my blog every day.... Of course, since my last post was in October, I felt she deserved a little something. So I thought I'd start with the biggest update in our lives which is our new house! Well, we don't own it yet, we should know our closing date by the end of the week. Here are a few pics (first pic requested by Becka as her favorite picture ever).

Just a little excited that they put the sold sign in the yard:)


Here is the living room as you walk in the house.

Pretty kitchen, we can't wait to have our friends and family over for some delicious meals.

Biggest selling feature for us was the big back yard with no neighbor right behind us!! Rosy and Nelly will have more space than they know what to do with.


Upstairs is this "bonus room" which we are still deciding what to do with.... Kinda fun to be able to create whatever space we'd like.

And since it's been awhile since I've posted, I think I'll kill two birds with one stone. Or in other words, tell you about Avery's dedication! This Sunday my WHOLE family was able to attend my parent's church for Avery Anne Isaacson's dedication. It was so special to have our whole family and some close friends to pray and dedicate Avery. We are so excited to be a part of her life and to help raise her to be an amazing and Godly woman. 

Avery and her daddy just chillin' before the big dedication

Avery wore the same dedication dress that Abby wore as a baby. My mom made it!

The whole gang...

We all joined for lunch after church. It was wonderful to spend time with our family and friends. Avery is one blessed baby.

Getting dedicated is hard work...


This one is dedicated to the one and only Becka Leigh, I love you!
