Our family recently purchased a new house. After all the drama of our move acrossed the country and being homeless for a few months we were blessed to find a beautiful new home for our family.
During our move we lived for 2 months in an apartment, on the 3rd floor. It was a tough time for the boys. After visiting family and heading back to the apartment, Tanner would cry and cry "Not the partment, not the partment". Then we lived for 2 months with my mom and dad. That felt alot more like home to the boys. They had a great time living with grandma and grandpa and some cousins. It was still hard to be with out our things. Every time Tanner would see a picture of our Ohio house he would cry and beg to go home. It was very hard for him to understand that that was not our house anymore. After making 2 trips to Utah to sign papers on this home we were finally able to purchase it. We took Tanner and Ellie with us to the signing then up to the house. Because of the many delays in the closing of the house our things had all ready been delivered to the house before we actually closed. When we arrived at the new house and Tanner was able to see his things he was in heaven. He went through the whole house naming everything he recognized as his stuff. We are so glad to be in our own home.
Back of the house
Notice all our rocks, we have a rock yard. Boy, do we miss the green grass of Ohio. But we do have a great veiw of the valley both out the front and back of the house.

Yay! You're back! I'm so glad you are settled and getting back to a normal life again. That was too cute of little Tanner finding all of his stuff again. Your new home looks beautiful and the area reminds me of 'home'. It sure would be fun to stop in next time we get out west.
Love your new family pic and background. Darling!
I think Micah wants to live in your house. As we were scrolling down the pictures, at each one he wanted to know if that was his house. No, Micah! It's Tanner's house!
Love the house. It looks very nice. These pictures make me so jealous! :) Someday!
I totally hear you on the missing the green grass of Ohio. I became spoiled with not having to water the plants and grass. I tell my dh almost everyday we need to move back.
Love the house!
What a great view! I bet it feels good to be "home" again. I am so happy for you!
Deb How did you find me?? I have always wondered what happened to you. Where are you living? U want to keep up.
