Oh Little NC Home of Mine

There is something to be said about turning a house into a home and a home into your own, wonderful little hide out. After traveling from place to place and/or sitting in a teeny car for hours (see below if you dare), even a 2 month home seems so wonderfully permanent. It's not so much having the perfect space or the right colors or the number of rooms or light fixtures... no sir.

Home.

It's the space heater. I never used or cared much a dilly about space heaters. I don't think I've ever liked or much thought about space heaters. Hm. Here I am cozied up on the floor next to my space heater.

It's the nails on the walls that allow you to turn wood and drywall into canvas. Because despite what anyone says, everyone needs this in their kitchen.



It's the ladybugs that pop up here and there now and again. Not a pesky number, just one or two. Little cute buggers.

It's waking up and having your own kitchen cabinets to put your treasures in.

It's having a husband that comes home every night with big smiles and kisses.

It's having wedding playlists playing while you wash dishes.

It's having your own refrigerator to hang the darnedest things.



It's doing mitt work in the living room.



It's being budget-ey and creative, but also being blessed with provision from a wonderful and caring God (who gives me cabbage, tomatoes, and spinach- all is well).



It's the 16 pineapples you have all over the house as decorations.



It's saying 'good morning' and 'good night' in a cozy bed with cozy blankets.

All in all, our little home in NC is temporary for about 2 months until we head out of state (again!), but God has been so good in our travels and staying-put-for-now moments. 

Here's to the memories we're building in our little home sweet NC home!

  1. this post made me smile. =] switch out 2 months for 'unknown number of years', pineapples for foxes, and mitt work for pushups and mountain biking...i can relate to so much of this. except stuff on the fridge because we have no magnets. but coyotes running past the window are pretty awesome.
