SWEET HOME ALABAMA

We're here and I'm loving it! Here's pics of our new church and home.....

Sycamore Baptist Church
This next picture shows how close our home is to the church
This is the pastorium and I LOVE it! The men have done so much to update it and even let me pick out flooring, counter tops, paint colors, etc. It is 4 bedrooms so no one has to share a room now.
I took a few pictures of the inside before we started unloading the truck. This is the bathroom that they totally gutted for me......

I wish I had taken a "before" picture. It was a blue tile 1950's bathroom complete with a blue toilet! I was so happy with the change!!
Below is the kitchen. They replaced the floor and counter tops before we arrived. They are now working on new cabinet doors and replacing the hardware. Before, everything was white...white floor, white counter tops, white cabinets and white appliances. Looks much better now!

This is our living room. It's very spacious and I love the windows and hardwood floors!


Now, this is dangerous. The pic below is taken from my front door and what you see there is a Dollar General. Yes, we live this close to Dollar General! Very convenient but we visit there way too often!
This is taken from our back door......
These make me REALLY happy!
I love seeing daffodils in February! And in my yard!! Oh how I've missed the colors of spring!! This next pic is a view of the back of the house
Nice, big back yard
Everything is so very well groomed around here and they are planting more shrubbery in the back of the house. They do all the up keep of the yard and shrubs so I am feeling a little spoiled around here!
I love this Bradford Pear tree in our yard too!
Playing around with the camera, I took this picture and it's a favorite!
The kids are doing well but Landon has had some school adjustment problems. His room is too crowded, and messy, and the boy who sits next to him likes to cheat off of his paper...stuff like that. Mason has done great and went to his first sleepover with 4 friends the other night. He would much rather be in Colorado still though. Haven is loving every part of it. It is such a blessing to live near my brother's family and we see them just about every day. The church family has been really good to us during our transition and now we just wait to see all the good things God is going to do for our family at Sycamore Baptist Church!

Ok I LOVE your house!!! So awesome that they had a parsonage for you - I miss that! Definitely may have to take a little trip to ALABAMA and see our friends the Owens!!!
I will be praying for Mason and Landon - we are STILL having school issues with Tyler, already took Hannah out and are homeschooling her, that has been the only thing that has been hard for me to swallow - the poor school district!
Can't wait to hear more about your new adventures "back home"!
