We Bought a home

The light pours in the front of the house in the morning. The sun greets you as you step out. Monkey (the cat) lazily rests by one of the side windows overlooking the lot next to us. It’s quiet. Traffic is sparse the road dead ends at the church. The train whistle blows. This is the experience In the morning.

The the light filters through the trees it lands on the deck. Lizards jump from plant to plant. It’s time to mow the lawn again. Summer here is hot the grass loves it.

We moved in last week, it’s just now starting to feel like a home. We have a kitchen! We made wonderful dumplings and just enjoyed being here.

The walls are sparse, boxes piled high and the list of things to do long. We have time, each other and love. We can do anything.

The neighborhood is a strange mix young new faces and people that have lived here for generations. It’s good to be out of our comfort zone, pushed to be creative, make new friends, and change how we see the world.

First off its been a long couple of months, and to be honest we are beat.

We have had guests here for…, well 2 months solid at least and that wears you out eventually. With that said we wouldn’t have it any other way. We are tired but its that good tired after you had a nice long workout or a day at the beach.

We just had po-boy fest happen, Mike came out to enjoy and above you can see some of his sisters kids awesome facepaint work.
