New Home!!!!!

OK we didn't get a new home, but it feels like it! We had our house painted!!!!!! Here in Florida it is a necessity every 10 years or so. Not only because your house starts to look faded and gross, but also the stucco starts to crack and then if hurricanes hit you can expect water intrusion. Our house was starting to show the cracks and we decided it was time. I had the hardest time picking out a color. How do they expect you to imagine your house with a color that you are looking at on a piece of paper that is 1"x1"! IMPOSSIBLE! So after making a couple of trips to the paint store and buying about 4 different quarts of paint I finally decided on a color. I think I was driving Bob, our painter, CRAZY! When I took Emma with me to the store to pick the color she said, in a very serious way, "Mom, can you please have him paint our house pink because for my next birthday party I am going to have a princess party and I want our house to match." Funny little girl! So Lori and Brad can Emma have her next party at your house? :)

OK so I forgot to take a picture of the house before he painted so this picture is of when we first bought the house. Since then we have made many changes including taking out that huge ugly palm tree out front. :) And luckily the previous owners took the cactus with them :)

Tada! Here is my beautiful new home!

My handy man/husband put up these beautiful new light fixtures! I was so proud of him! He also put in our landscape lighting! I didn't know he knew how to do all these projects! THANKS MATT!
