A New House

It's been a long road, but as of last week, Clark and I are officially home owners! Although moving is a lot of work, being in our own home is so great! It feels like a lot of space for just the two of us, but we sure have filled it with a lot of stuff. And, in less than two months, there will be a little one there with us to keep us busy. Here our some pics of moving day. Here's all our friends and family that were able to help us move all our stuff.
Left to right: Blake with Audrie on his shoulders, Emily, Tammy, Mel and Mike (behind), me and Clark, Morgan and Natalie, and Alex. My Dad is behind the camera and Heber met up with us later to carry all the heavy stuff in. My mom also came over the night before to help me pack up my kitchen. Thank you so much for all your help everyone.
Here's our old apartment full of boxes before the move started. I kind of hate moving.
And here we are with only a few items left in the same room. I realize this isn't the most flattering picture of me, but it does show the baby bump pretty well and I haven't posted one of those pics in a while. Aren't I huge?!
And here is the front of the house. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, downstairs family room, formal living room, obviously a garage, a laundry room and extra storage space downstairs.
And here's me just resting, I'm good at that, after we got the front room all set up. It's pretty quaint and I quite like it. Now we just need to get a new couch for the basement, barstools, a new TV (according to Clark), and a whole lot of baby stuff. Getting a house is expensive, but worth it. Now I just have to put everything away...

I'm so happy for you guys! Owning your own home is so rewarding & fun! It definitely can get pricey with more rooms to fill, but just remember Hobby Lobby & Tuesday Mornings :) I want to see more! You look great & not huge at all. You're silly! Miss you!

Yay! Finally gone from Memory Lane, eh? Good luck with nesting in your new house! Hope all is well with the little Bell family!

Marci and Gary said...

Congratulations! That is so exciting. You will love having your own place, it actually finally feels like home and you can do anything you want with the space, it is great. We are closing on selling our first home in a few months and it makes me so sad to move on, and the fact that we are now living with my in-laws and not our own house since we moved states. I can't believe you are due in a couple of months. We should go out to lunch before that baby comes and catch up.

The new house looks so fun. We are sorry we couldn't be there to help you move (kind of). We are excited to see it and the baby, but real sad we can't see way prego Jami!

Your house sure is cute!! Seriously let me know what you need help with! Especially before the little one gets here :)!

You 'kind of hate' moving? I hate moving... but why didn't you call us for some help? I had no idea you were moving so soon! My husband has really big muscles that come in handy for moving. Anyways, I would love to get together and check out your cute new house. (Oh and your baby bump looks so cute)
