My New House in Beautiful, Charming, and Always Inviting Waxahachie
It seemed like a life time to get this house. I shared with a dear friend the other day that I really feel like satan was not wanting me to succeed in moving. He was pulling overtime to get me to just back out and flee. But God is and was my defender. No matter what came up...even when it began to feel consuming...God protected His plan. That's right....HIS PLAN!!!!! This was His doing and He clearly showed me that when I yield totally to Him and I walk in His ways..
THERE IS NO SHUTTING DOWN THE WILL OF GOD....DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE!!!
This picture below of me signing my papers was like a miracle in my eyes......sad thing was that my finance lady and her Realtor husband had put me so much through the ringer that I didn't even enjoy that day. boooooooo This is post crying, post nausea, and post "hold me back mom before I end up losing it". PTL that its is all over now!!!!!!! God you are TOO GOOD TO ME!!!!
Welcome to my home............
entry pics....now remember that i have a lot of pics because i am a detailed person....just giving you a heads up.
kitchen..that i love....and now that i have a fridge..even though i went 5 days without one.....I am even more in love. I GOT AN ICE MAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!! i am such an ice girl and every place I have lived alone has not had one!!!!!
i took this while still decorating so ignore the mess on the counter tops
ok i love love love this kitchen. has so much room. This is the darling little table my parents game me. It is a Dunkin Fife table and soooooooo perfect for the space. The dresser is another piece that my dad redid and was originally in my extra bedroom but decided that it would make a darling mini buffet in here!!!!!
this is my view while washing the dishes!!!!!!!
side note: this is a book shelf in the entry way but i wanted to show you my cool little tea set from japan. it is the one on the top row by laura and I. The one on the second self is from China and bought it at the most precious little village from the Meow people! I think that little 3 piece tea sets will be my collectible when I travel. I also always by art work so i will show you that too...later.
Dining room!!!!
view from the chair i always sit in

ok so this chair so does not go.....at all but i wanted you to see what it will look like with possible 2 chairs in this room...what do you think? maybe smaller....but i just love the idea of a cozy chair....looking at the backyard....while i am reading...with a cup of hot chocolate...so romantic really hahahhahahha.
hallway
MY ROOM!!!!!!!!!!! my other house had really low ceiling and I have just loved having tall ceiling throughout this house.

other extra room and MY NEW COMPUTER AREA.....THAT IS A MESS...HELP GIRLS...HOW DO I MAKE A COMPUTER LOOK CUTE...AND HIDE ALL THESE STINKEN WIRES......
This is a Japanese Geisha doll I bought. My mom and aunt have one from when they were younger....I just love her. She will go in my china cabinet.....when i get one someday.
back yard....and it is lookin good!!!!!! I so mowed today and let me just say, I was an idiot for buying that reel mower thing last year. My dad game me a gas one and the yard was done in like 30 minutes.........shocking!!!!!! But I must say that the weed-eater/edger is harder than I thought...i will have to practice more!
laundry room that is need of some baskets and lovin
one story and then I will close.....so my dryer had a 3 prong plug thing and my house required a 4 prong....no big deal i would just get an adaptor at Lowe's and move on. Well, apparently it is a major fire hazard to have an adaptor so i was force to change out the electrical plug thing!!!!!!!!! i had to document it in case I died during the process...............
this is me right before I did some praying......those cords in my hand had to go where these cords...below were....
took awhile but.....................
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!
My Daddy Bob (granddad) would be so proud since he is a retired electrician!!!!

I was so excited and will have to stop by and chat!Thank you all for stopping by. Thank you to those that prayed that God's will be done. I love you! I want to publicly thank my parents for all there support and hard work. They came and stayed with me and bought me things that I didn't know I would need. You guys are sooooooooooooooo giving and I am just blessed by you so much. Thank you for giving up your time to help me get settled and setup. I love you soooooo much and I love being with you both! Thank you for keeping me sane and encouraged!!! Love you

Father open wide the doors and use it for your Glory!!!! Provide people and ministry opportunities for me to open this home up. USE IT FOR YOUR WORK!!!!! Fill these rooms with joy and laughter.
