Today was a bittersweet day for us. We moved from our first home that we built, and handed over our keys to our property managers so we can rent it to other families that will hopefully love it as much as we did.

Home Sweet Home
It's crazy to believe that we have already been living in our new house for a month now, and we are still sleeping on a blow up bed! Let's scratch that, I am sleeping on a blow up bed, Aaron's sleeping on the floor because he can't handle my tossing and turning {gotta love pregnancy insomnia}, and Connor is sleeping upstairs in his room on a cotton filled floor mattress. Minus the sleeping situation, we are loving our new home. We received our small shipment of unaccompanied goods from Italy, but are still waiting for all the rest of our stuff. We are really hoping it comes sometime next week because this 29 week pregnant mama has slept on an uncomfortable blow up bed long enough!

Closing On Our First Home
We have been in the process of building a home since September 2016. We knew Aaron was going to get stationed at Fort Hood, and we were really tired of throwing our money away into rental homes, so we decided to buy. Since we both like newer homes and wanted to pick everything out ourselves, building was our best option. The process was a little stressful, especially because we did almost everything from Italy. Thankfully my parents and Aaron's dad made trips to the house for us while it was being built.
Back in October I visited our empty lot, took a tour of a home similar to ours, and picked out all of our selections {paint, brick, stone, granite, flooring, etc}. I had a pretty good idea of what it was going to be like, but it was a surprise for Aaron when he saw it for the first time on May 4. We did a final walk through then and then finally closed on May 12. After signing what seemed like a million documents, we were done! We drove to the model home, picked up our keys, and went to see our beautiful new home.
It's finally ours and we love it!
