Housewarming Party!

On the same day we finished the house we celebrated with a big family housewarming party!

Cody and I had never felt so loved. This was one of the best days of my life to be honest. I love family! Everyone came together for Cody and I to celebrate the end of this 2 year 3 month journey. 

My housewarming dress!


Mom worked so hard to make this the party of my dreams I had always hoped for! She went above and beyond to make this day special. She has such a giving heart. 

This island decorations! Gigi supplied the GORGEOUS flowers and fruit!

My aunt Jody's famous buffalo dip!


Bread and cake from the Bread Basket!




  
My sweet sweet cousins made it to visit me. I am so blessed!

 
Sisters and brothers!

Cousin Nick, wife Laura, and my second cousin Eli, their son.

Our sweet friends Carol, Joyce, and Ed.

I wish I got more pictures of everyone!

2019 vs 2020. Same me, different tree. The only thing nice about the spring are the gorgeous trees!

I went on a nice Sunday evening walk after the party. I love Fall colors and mourn the hay and dead leaves that will leave soon.

I also ordered some TaiChi and bubble tea for a healthy dinner from Door Dash!

This was the best weekend ever and now we can finally relax and breathe. This is our home!

Love,

After you walk through the front door there is a coat closet!

Shoe/jacket closet and cleaning supplies closet when you are coming inside from the garage.

Storage closet in the foyer area. To the right is where we will keep the Christmas tree fully decorated!

Cody's office to the left when you walk in the front door!
The back wall is 100% whiteboard so you he can project football plays (from the projector above) onto the wall and 'draw' on them! So neat!


The catwalk above!

The views when we wake up are astonishing.
