Documentary Part 1

As soon as we signed the papers on our new house I decided that I would 'document' the house we are in now. I know I kind of mentioned it before in a previous post, but I thought it would be something neat to show Barrett later down the room. We've lived here over 4 year now & I didn't want to forget what it looked like. This house means alot to me & I truly am sad to see us leave it.  We have so many amazing memories in this house & I've always felt like this was our home even though we only rent it.  Don't get me wrong I am beyond super excited to be able to have our own place & can't wait to move in, but I'm just sentimental about these things.

Here are a few (not so great) photos I've taken of the house we are in now.  I want Barrett to be able to see where he lived & I thought it would be something neat to share with our family & friends too. I've only taken pictures of part of the house so far, I'll be posting more once I get the rest taken.

This is the main entry way.  I absolutely love our picture wall! It tells our story to everyone who walks in the door XOXO

The famous red half bath.  I have to admit that these picture do not do this bathroom any justice! It took us forever to paint that bathroom & I love how it turned out. 

Here is our toy infested living room. Barrett actually has so many toys that we had to move a chair out!

As you can see it's nothing fancy.  We bought this couch about 4yrs ago, it's amazingly comfortable but I would kill to have leather.  Between Barrett, Ben & the dogs it's just too hard to keep clean.

The living room, dining room & kitchen are the whole main part of the house.

I am not happy to share pictures of our master bedroom with you, but here it goes...

Our bedroom is nothing at all.  We literally only have a bed! I took the end table out of the living room for  Ben's night stand, our 'dresser' in a folding table with gift bags & my night stand is Barrett's bassinet that he refused to sleep in.  We are sure fancy! Hey, it's about what's important though.  Barrett? Or a bedroom set? You can guess which one it is :)

And our plain jane master bath & crowded closet.

The floor plan from the builders of the house we are in now.  The only this different is that the 3rd car garage is actually a guest suite with a bathroom.

We don't have anything fancy & most of our stuff I got on clearance when I was working before we had Barrett.  I admit I would kill for a bedroom set or a new couch, but hey it's not like these are things that we absolutely need.  Barrett always come before materialistic things & I would happily get rid of anything we have just to be with him every day.  I'd live with lawn furniture if we had to! All the stuff we do have isn't what makes our house a home.  I hate to sound all cliche & cheesy, but we make it home.  All the laughter, tears & memories make this house special to me.  I will never forget when we first moved in or the day we brought Barrett home.  I'm sad to leave, but memories like that don't leave you.  I'm just lucky that I can take these pictures to save them & show Barrett where he lived his first year.  I'm sure he'll just think I'm crazy though :)

I hope you guys liked taking a partial tour of our plain ole house! Stay tuned for more to come.
