A Few of Our Favorite Things About Our New House!

What's our favorite thing about having our own home? Bathtime. Grilling on the deck. Snuggling after naps. Playing diggers. Having family over. Our playroom. Walking to the pool. Baking together. How close it is to downtown Franklin. Climbing trees. Deer in the backyard...

























Just to name a few! We look forward to much more of all of these things in the days to come!

AUGUST!

What a great month AUGUST has been so far! As promised, Luke made me my birthday dinner in our new home, and, as a surprise, my sweet friends took me downtown for drinks and dessert. What a perfect combination! 

We also got to go to Huntsville to celebrate my birthday buddy's special day -- my sweet niece Lyla turned one! 

Jack and I got to go to Birmingham for a day trip to help with Ann Wade's bridal shower, and have dinner with sweet friends the Morgans while there! 

In between those festivities, the Neffs, Valets, Taylors, Millers, Guthries, McDaniels, Colvins, VassGals, Gilmans, Leonards helped us move in, unpack, gave us hand-me-downs, put meals in our fridge, and played with Jack while we've worked to turn our house into our home! Thank you all!!! We still have a little ways to go, but just a few weeks in, it feels like we've been here forever. Y'all come visit!

Getting Set Up in Our New Home!








Luke and Jack putting together our beautiful new bedroom suite. 
(I've wanted a bedroom suite since we married, and I saw this one on Craigslist and fell in love. Luke bought it for me with the money he'd saved to get equipment for his garage gym. I love him.
