All Moved In!

We are now official home owners! The last weekend of June was very busy moving from our apartment in Bedford to our home in Arlington. Pepper the dog didn't know what to think about the moving boxes. However, he LOVES the fenced in yard at the new house!
Our apartment was pretty packed with boxes. For this move since it was local, we opted to hire movers....it was well worth it!
Kyle has been trying his hand at lawn care. In this pic he was trying out the new weed eater with his personal protective equipment of the ear protection & the goggles. Isn't he cute? :)
This is a picture of our new kitchen table. It expands into a larger circle to fit more people around it. I'm excited to have normal sized table! The one we were using was a hand-me-down from my parents, which was great. However, it was too small to fit tablecloths, placements, etc. I'm having fun fixing up the new table & eating at it!
This is a picture of our new bedroom furniture, thanks to my parents as a house warming gift. Yes, it is a KING and we are loving it!

As for anything interesting that has occurred as new homeowners, the weirdest thing to us is an invasion of lizards. They are small geko (spelling?) lizards & can fit under the baseboards to get in & out of the house! I see at least 5 per week and have made Kyle kill them all. This week I did get brave enough to try to kill one on my own, but they still give me the creeps. I'm just thankful that we don't have cockroaches,ants,mice or other more annoying pests.

This house has been a huge blessing. We would love for any friends/family to come & see us whenever you are in the DFW area!

We just had someone come spray for roaches. YUCK! Much worse than lizards! At least the lizards eat mosquitos! :)

I love your new furniture. Can't wait to see the rest of the house!

Geckos seem to come around every year. We just kill them as we see them too.
I love the way you have decorated your home. Looks great.
