Our new home... on Huckleberry Lane

The Sharp's live here now:

Can't wait to grill out on the patio!

Loving this kitchen, love that it is white.. LOVE all the cabinets.. they are HUGE!! :)

Living room.. needs paint.. but, we are waiting.. there are sliding glass doors to the patio.. and then we have a door from our bedroom to the patio, too

Just one of the many of God's creatures I get to enjoy here:)

Hey everyone! Well, we finally made the move.. and are getting settled in! I can't believe how much I am loving my new home!! I am sad to leave Memphis, b/c of family and friends.. but, I feel SUPER safe-- this area is so nice that we live in..We have the very back, end townhouse.. so you would really want to come see us, to see us! LOL! I love the closet space here, and am really loving the setup.. only thing I miss.. and will miss mostly in the colder months is the garage isn't connected to our house.. it is a little walk down our sidewalk.. but I will survive.. and get some exercise!!haha
I feel like I am on a resort, the landscape is just beautiful, and there are sidewalks leading up to the clubhouse, with beautiful lakes and fountains.. all which have geese, baby geese ( my fav.), and ducks! I just love taking Presley on our morning stroll around this community.. Not to mention all the BEAUTIFUL parks in the area.. they are EVERYWHERE!! Lots have sprinkle parks, too.. which I am excited to see P play in this summer! We also have a tennis court, beach volleyball, pool ( which opens the end of the month!), fitness room, tanning bed, playground, etc.. see what I mean about resort!!?? :) I have gotten most of the boxes unpacked thanks to my sweet friend, Kim who drove up this past weekend to visit:) We had so much fun, and I am excited about her next visit!!
P.S. We see bunnies EVERYDAY!! Two of them greeted me one my first day here.. just wish I had my camera ready!! I will one day.. promise.. More pics to come soon.. of the grounds!
Oh, and the Wal-Mart here is AMAZING!!!! never thought I would say that!!!haha:)

Roxy; Our 1st puppy.

We had a very hard day today.. We found a sweet family here in Memphis to take Roxy. Wow.. Was it hard! We are so grateful we found a home for her, and the family gave us their info to stay in touch.. but, being the "mother hen" I felt like I was giving away a child.. I know she will be ok.. but, that didn't make it any easier.
Matt also left for Ohio today.. so he will be starting his first week this coming Monday. Last night was our last night together, with Roxy.. in our 1st house we built together, and have so many memories together.. It has be really hard.. but I trust that this is God's plan. I am just ready for us all to be together in our new place. In a week, it will be here!

Cinderella

Matt and I have loved this song.. even before Presley was born.. We have prayed together for her future. Matt made it a tradition to dance with her on her birthday.. and every other chance he could. I think the relationship a daddy and his little girl have is PRICELESS.. It is so fun to see how much she loves him.. and how much he loves her. Today, we were on our way out the door and she was just saying, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..." over and over and over... We couldn't help but laugh.. Her first and favorite word.. Daddy. I couldn't help but think of our heavenly father.. that loves us unconditionally.. No matter how many times we mess up, or don't spend time with him.. He is still there.. Loving us. all the time. always there. loving us.
Matthew 6:31-32 Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
I am thinking this would be the perfect song.. for father/ daughter dance.. thank goodness I have awhile!!
~NOTE: I cry.. more like BALL.. when I hear this song, so grab a tissue ;)

3 things that make me smile:)

1. I am super excited.. I found this great milk glass lamp today at a local antique store.. have always wanted one..It will go PERFECT in P's room.. I was super excited! just LOVE it!

2. I also needed a camera bag for my new camera.. I don't won't to hurt/break my new toy! Those that know me well, know RED is my favorite color.. I know its small.. but, I really think it will be perfect for what I need.. We will call her Ruby.. I think that's a great name, don't you? ;) I can't wait to see her in person!

3. And last, my not least.. this little girl.. Grandmommy, Granddad and I went to lunch at the Serendipity Tea Room today.. She wanted to be a part, so we let her have a "big girl spoon"..Ah, just a proper little number, she is!!

Ok, Maybe, not!! ha.. this is the real deal..
Presley loves to swing
~My little sweetheart~
