Christmas in the Shaw House

I promised I would post pictures of some of our Christmas decorations. They may be too simple for some, but for my first time really decorating my home for Christmas, I think that I did pretty well.

The New House

Finally!!!!! We have a house and are no longer renting an apartment. It feels amazing!! We can finally paint a wall, replace carpet, have a yard, build a deck, have an acre to roam and build on. Every disappointment, every failed attempt has paid off. God has blessed us. Pictures to come soon.

Back on the House Hunt

We've been on a house hunt on and off for the past half a year or so.  But now, we're searching harder than ever!! Apartment life sucks, especially when you live in the ghetto.  Or at least that's what I consider it.  We found this home that's been on the market for a while now, and we love it, and are really leaning towards it, especially being a lease-to-own property. $154,000 - [I think we can manage ;)]

The wood burning fireplace

The enormous kitchen-- oh yeah!!!

The front of the house.. Isn't it prettier than an apartment?!
