Wordless Wednesday: We bought a house!

February 1, 2012 By Erika Zane

1 Feb

Ok, I know Wednesday’s almost over at this point, but I promised updates on the closing and photos.

We closed.  We’re in love with our new home!  We can’t wait to start building a life there and planting roots in our new community.  The previous owner left us a bottle of Yellow Tail and a very sweet note.  It was such a nice touch and the perfect surprise after a stressful closing process.

Today, someone from Empire Today came to give us an estimate on carpeting and they’re installing tomorrow.  I just got off the phone with the movers to schedule our move for Monday!  Everything’s falling into place and we are feeling very blessed.

Thank you for all of your support through this stressful process!  Here are some photos from yesterday and today!

Pictures from closing day (ie: Tues. 1/31):

Rue was pretty happy about the bone they left behind, too:

    Good for you Erika! The house looks great, now the real fun begins… moving in, decorating, redecorating, finding new gems to put in the house etc… I remember those fun times! Have you planned a ‘housewarming’ party to celebrate with friends and family?

    The backyard is so spacious. I can imagine several fun activities that your family can do there. I think you chose a perfect place where your kids can grow up and have fun memories.

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
