Hoosiers For A Little Longer

Yes, you've heard right, we are staying in Indiana for at least a couple more years. Which means we have truly become "hoosiers" (what they call Indianans). Cameron is currently studying to take the GMAT so he can start his Master's Degree program in January (a two-year program) and he takes the entrance exam in a week and half... wish him luck!

We are still waiting for Avery to finalize the papers for his permanent position here in Fort Wayne, and Cam is growing anxious (well, more like nervous) to start school again for round two. It has been fun house hunting, although we aren't too serious yet, but will be in the near future but it's been fun window shopping for now!

When it does come time to move in a few months, we will certainly miss our house! These pics were taken when we first moved in so of course we've added decor, toys, and a daughter to our home (and we've suddenly outgrown it since!), but it has been our favorite home that we've lived in so far.

There's been a few perks living here like living close to family and friends. Although we've loved it, we will certainly not miss some things when we move: like a one car garage, only having two bedrooms, not very much storage space, having a small kitchen, did I mention we won't miss having a one car garage? I can't complain though, this house has been good to us, despite the cat hair mishap when we first moved in... that is still a delicate subject so I won't open up that can of worms! We have loved having a backyard though.... Hallie especially has loved that and our awesome toy room in the loft upstairs. We'd love to have more visitors, but in case you can't make it to our humble abode before we move next year... here's the home that I clean every day!


When we moved here, we upgraded from apartment life to "townhome life" and with that we got a backyard, a second floor (meaning another floor we have to baby-proof!), a fireplace, another bathroom, a garage, and our own driveway...woo hoo!


Above: The family room and the toy room in the loft. Ignore the beautiful red blanket covering our fireplace, that is our way of winterizing!

Above: This is the girls' room. Believe it or not, all of their furniture (except the crib!) was free or from goodwill. My favorite decoration in their room is Hallie's name that hangs above her bed, it turned out so cute (thanks aunt Nicole)! Even though we didn't paint the room, the color matches almost perfectly.

Cameron, old buddy! I just found your blog through Jaron's. How fun to see what you guys are up to! I'm going to throw you on to my blog list, so I hope you don't mind. What a beautiful family you have!

it is a really good house, but you deserve more space now! where you can have a real 'bed'room for you guys instead of a 'stuff'room with a bed. hopefully we'll come visit before the end of the year!
