New Home

A few weeks ago I shared pictures from "Our Favorite Spot." Our favorite spot is now our new home! Heath and I put a contract on our new love at the beginning of May and had high hopes on closing on it around June 10th. We had no idea it was going to take us until June 28th to actually close on it but it is finally ours and we are so in love :) Let me show you around!

Our mile long driveway takes you to our new home that is nestled on 5 acres of beautiful river front property. It's only a few miles away from our current home and 6 minutes from my work!  
This is the view from our front porch. We are looking at the river.

It's so lovely!
This is the view from the back deck!
Our next door neighbors happen to be rows and rows of cotton...

and a sweet little family who lives on the other side {they live through here}.
We are looking forward to picking blueberries, pears, apples, and muscadines off of the vines and trees that are sitting pretty in our yard

The house is not our dream house. It's actually smaller and older than I ever even wanted to consider when we moved. However, it has so much potential and is already in the middle of renovations.

With a face lift and an addition in the near future, we are quit certain that this little house will be the home where we raise our little family and spend many family gatherings!
We are looking forward to lifetime of memory making at our favorite spot.

Indoor before and afters coming soon :)

Oh My Goodness! The new property is gorgeous!! I want to come see it in person once you get moved in and help you pick some of that yummy looking fruit off the trees and bushes. That's SO great!! Again, congrats on finding your new home in your favorite spot. Westin's birthday is going to be great!!

Beautiful! Congrats Ashley! I agree so much potential in the home. The property in general is the selling point. Can't wait to see your new home turn into your dream home. :-)

Ashley, your new home is absolutely beautiful!!! I can't wait to see it in person! I agree with Allison that would be fun to help pick some of that fresh fruit. Kevin will be jealous when he sees it. He has always wanted us to move onto a lot of land with a lake. So wonderful! See you soon!
