Home Sweet Home

Sorry for the crooked pic of the front of our house...maybe the photographer didn't drink their V8 that day. This is our new home in Mansfield. We had it built and moved in Aug. 30, 2005. What an exhausting process that was...our nerves were definitely shot by the end of it!! We absolutely love living here though, it is a nice quiet neighborhood and our house backs up to a park owned by the Corp of Engineers so no one can build behind us. This is the first house for both of us and we are so proud! We bought some art before we moved in, I think it was 6 pieces of big framed art. I remember telling my sister in law that we had everything we needed to move in and she just giggled. Now I know why. We are no where NEAR having all that we need, but that has been the fun part. Since most of our money goes to house/bills/groceries, we don't have much to play with each month...so the bargain shopping has been fun. We covered our TV room windows (bottom picture) with bamboo shades that we found at Pier 1 for $115 total. They look really good and we are so pleased. We still have a lot of work to do...but that is the fun part. We are so looking forward to our first Christmas as a married couple in our new home. I will definitely post some pictures then.
