Today I ... Enjoy "FIRST" ... In My New Home

November 9, 2018 
I closed on my new home. 
This is the "first" time ... with keys in hand, that I walked into my new home. One of the happiest, proudest moments I have experienced in a good many years.

 The "First" Birthday Gift and Birthday that I spent in my new home.
We traveled to visit family for Thanksgiving and celebrated my birthday early with them. Check out my birthday haul. 

On December 9th I experienced my "First" snowy day in my new home.

The "First" Christmas Ornament put on my "First" Christmas Tree in my new home.

My "First" Christmas table in my new home.

My "First" Christmas Tree and my "First" Christmas Eve spent in my new home.
There have been a lot of "First"s to enjoy in the last few months. I closed on my new home in early November. We traveled to visit family for Thanksgiving and then HOME to begin decorating and celebrating my "First" Christmas Season in my new home. I am truly blessed.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Today I ... Do Some Catching Up


I have News!!!

Getting back into blogging has been a bit more challenging than I ever thought possible ... but here I am two days shy of a month later ... hmmm!

But in my defense I've been a bit busy. Busy house hunting. Busy finding the home of my dreams! Busy getting all of my ducks in a row to buy the home of my dreams. Should all go well, I will close on my very own new home a month from now.
I am Blessed!


These Two!!!
Jezebel on the left and Booker on the right

I have the pleasure of sharing my life with these two creatures. They are sweet and spoiled. They comfort and calm me. I can't imagine life without them. I know they will enjoy our new home as much as I will. Buying a house is a bit stressful, there seems an endless list of things that must be done before closing on a home purchase and the keys to your new home being placed in your hand, so coming home to these two has been a sweet blessing.


Sock Knitting

Between house hunting and kitty snuggles, I've been sock knitting. Sock knitting has become "my thing", my happy place! The reason why I wanted to learn how to knit was to be able knit socks. I love being able to knit socks. It's enjoyable and it makes me feel like I'm making something useful.
