Lexington Kentucky

We have been here for 1 week!
This starts John's 3 year Periodontal Residency.

Here are some pictures of the home we are renting.
We have officially named it The Sun House!







Love this little mud room!



Entry Way



Dining Room (to the right)



The Sun Room (my favorite)
The walls aren't green, they are a yellow tan.



Love my kitchen! ( So many cupboards!)




These frames have since been filled with Leah's photography!


Downstairs play/t.v. room!


Stairs up to the bedrooms. Just normal 3 bed rooms and laundry.


Our wooded back yard!



Back porch.


Our little bunny friend. He lives here along with about
6-8 chipmunks and squirrels and gorgeous cardinals and
red robins and blue jays! I love watching them out the windows!


We feel so blessed to be living here!

Our ward has been amazing so far! A lot of people showed up the first night to unload.
Then one of the ladies stayed for 3 hours cleaning!
The next day she brought cookies and got a list of what I needed at Sam's Club!
(We have since eaten dinner with them and their super fun teenagers!)
That same day, 3 young men showed up and asked what they could do to help.
Another sister brought a casserole and 3 others called and wanted to come clean!

Truly wonderful! We have felt SO welcomed!

I went to the boys school and they were having a bi-annual family picnic on blankets on the grass! Grandparents and parents were there! It is an amazing school, so I hear!

We couldn't be happier!
Well...... accept that we are across the entire country! :(

Love and miss you all!

P.S.
Today the house officially felt and smelled like my home..... I made bread. :)
