We have always held to the adage that "Home is where the heart is." This has become more meaningful and exciting to us as we bought our first home this month. On Tuesday March 4, 2014 at 4:03pm we signed the last papers and were handed the keys to our house. Hooray!

Some people like to commemorate such things by sleeping on the floor of their new place that first night. We, however, feel that a lovely picnic dinner on the floor, followed by some amazing Blue Bell ice cream is the way to go (since our bed and everything was still set up in our apartment, we figure a soft mattress is preferable to sleeping on the hardwood floors).
Working in the yard (Yay! We have a yard!), changing locks, figuring out where in the world to unpack everything, and finding out which switches turn on which lights have been some of the exciting things so far. Please come and visit us anytime. We have spare rooms for you and will welcome you with true Texas hospitality-and of course some delicious Blue Bell ice cream.
Per the request of quite a few people, here are some pictures of our home. Hope to see you here soon!

Congratulations! The house is beautiful! Now we need to come up with a reason to go to Houston...
ReplyDeleteThanks. We would LOVE to have the Pimentel family visit! We should do a swap and come visit you guys in Ohio sometime. We hope you're all doing well.
DeleteI especially love your car and truck picture. It looks like two car-people like in the movie Cars. The Lego room is great too.
ReplyDeleteYes, Gladys and Mo are part of the family and needed to be prominently featured rather than shut away in the garage. We had some friends over for St. Patrick's day and they got a kick out of us having so many legos out in that room :)
DeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteThat is a large home for 2 people! :) Hopefully you will be filling it with lots of adorable Rogers children. Congratulations!
