Our New Home!




We bought a home!!
As I mentioned at Easter we were looking at a property and at the end of April we bought a house. It is actually near Lagrange GA - southwest Georgia near the Alabama border.
We were looking for a lake home, everything close to Atlanta was too crowded, had low water levels and was over priced. We drove to check out West Point lake and fell in love with the area.



 
So we found a house, it's on the lake with a nice dock. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and is is only 5 years old.

We live seven miles out of town in the county, our property is a woodsy acre. Much of it was not cleared and we have spent the summer working on that. I got a nice case of poison ivy while getting rid of some brush. We hope to build a garage, have a fire pit and a garden.
With the color of the cabinets the kitchen reminds me a lot of our AZ kitchen. They are actually a ivory color. It's more of a great room concept, open to the living areas and we have nice wood flooring in there.

We love being at the lake and spend most weekends there.  This summer has been busy working on the property, having guest and getting out on the water


Leah loves the jet ski

So does Eric and his friend Matt

Marv, Pat and Cathy came over the 4th of July. Leah visited for 2 weeks in July and Eric has been up from Florida twice since he returned from Afghanistan.

We hope you can come visit soon!!
