Why I have been absent from blogging!!

This is what I have been doing for the past several months and why I haven't been able to blog as much!! Thankfully we are all moved in and unpacked!! We love our new home!! It was worth the waiting period while it was being built. We were able to make some design decisions and love how they have turned out. We are living in Riverside County about 30 minutes from my parents. Brandon's brother and his wife and family are about 10 minutes away so we still have family close to us. It has been nice. The kids have really enjoyed being able to spend more time with their cousins this summer.  Anyway, sorry for the picture overload but it's the only way to see the house. ;)
