I just thoght this months stamp of the month was just so adorable!! As I thought about what I wanted to do and what paper I wanted to use I was tossing ideas back and forth to a friend. I was also telling her how I wanted to use Zipadee in a way other than an amusment park and she said...well it matches your house. I was like oh you are brilliant I have been wanting to do a where I've been page. So without furthur ado here you go...where I have been and where I am
we bought our first home as a family last year and we could not be happier!
Cocktail alpha...love it. The H and M are popped up
Some close ups of the excitement I felt...sorry for the blurry photo
now the crazy truth...where we were. Mark moved into my house and we lived there 8 months then we figured we should move to his cause well he owned it. Can we say tiny...yikes we stayed here for 2 years it was suppose to be for 6 months. Thank God I had a baby because that made it way way to small for our family of now 5. Then we moved into a big beautiful old home but alas it was money pit so we bailed and decided not to buy. Onto the last house..our "summer home" we were going to buy this but the sale fell through thank God because it was way way to small and we would have been settling and then one day we were looking at another house that was not going to work and we went to look at ours simply cause we had extra time. It was our of our price range BUT we fell in LOVE and had to have it. We crunched numbers and decided we could definatly aford that beauty as it had everything we wanted plus things we didn't think we would get....yippeeee we are home! We are in love...we are happy.
