Our house!
As promised, though MANY MANY days after here are the pictures of our new place. We are obviously not done decorating, but we are slowly making progress! My check list for this weekend is getting new window treatments, finish our landscaping, and clean out our large laundry room closet which I am turning into my "craft" room!
I'm excited to share these pictures with you all so you can see how much we change and add!
The outside of our place.
Welcome to 492 Trent St.
We have a pretty large yard as you can see here.
Our Entry way.
Our very spacious living room. The rocking chair is going into our room once our black leather arm chair gets here.
Looking down the hall from our entry way to the bedrooms. The door on the left is the bathroom. Our room is on the left and Eli's is on the right. We got Eli his own small book case! He loves it!Looking down the hall from our bedroom.
Elijah's room. All his toys fit in there!! YAHOO!
Again, from the opposite side of his room.
And the rest of his room. As you can see it's pretty spacious.
Our bedroom.
We have a door to the outside. It also has a screen door to it so I can keep it open during the cool days.
View from that door.
The hall and our own entrance to the bathroom!
Our large walk in closet! I need more clothes to fill it!
Our bathroom. We are eventually going to buy new stuff for in there, but till then we are using the stuff that was in Elijah's bathroom in our Twentynine Palms house.
We have a lot more counter space than at our last place! Plus TONS more storage!! We even have a separate linen closet.
Looking down the hall again from the other direction.
The other side of our living room looking at the front door.
Our last name sign from Justin's family for Christmas! It's one of my favorite pieces of art!
Looking into the kitchen from the picture above.
The kitchen! It's so spacious and new!
View from the corner of the dining room. I am waiting to accessorize it till we get our table on Saturday. I already have the stuff picked out at Urban Outfitters.
Another view. We have a decent size pantry right there too.
The laundry room. I have a sink and a window!!
A peek into a trashed storage room. I didn't take any pictures because Justin's gear is all over it.
And last, but certainly not least, our 2 car garage!!
I'm a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, but most importantly a child of the King!
I am a Marine wife and currently live in California. My husband and I were called to this life after we were married in 2006. It's been a crazy roller coaster of events, but its been amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Justin and I had our first baby in 2007 a mere 13 months after we were married!! We moved to California not long after. We've survived 2 deployments.
We recently found out we are expecting triplets! We are shocked, amazed, and feel so blessed.
Justin is an incredible husband and father. He has such an amazing heart and love for the Lord. He felt the Lord was calling him to the Marines in 2006 and after God softened my heart he enlisted. Our decision to enlist wasn't an easy one, but God has proven himself faithful time and time again through whatever is thrown our way. Justin deployed in March of 08 to Iraq. He served 7 months and returned to us just in time for the holidays in late October of 08. He also served in Afghanistan from March 10 to October 10. We are so thankful for God's protection during both deployments.
Our Eli
Elijah was our surprise baby! We found out we were pregnant only 5 short and blurry months after we were married. My pregnancy with him wasn't without complication. I spent many hours/days/weeks in the hospital with him. He came to us at 33weeks gestation. He was so healthy and strong. He weighed 3 pounds 12 ounces and was 16.5 inches long. He spent 2 weeks in the hospital and was released at 4 pounds! He has grown into such a fantastic little boy. He is very excited to be a big brother this summer and in fact tells almost anyone that he is going to have three babies!
The Triplets
Babies A B C are coming! We feel so blessed to be expecting them.
They were conceived in December 2010 after 2 years of struggling to get pregnant.
We are praying and anxiously waiting for their arrival sometime this summer!!
