This "New" Old House

The last 6 months have been CRAZY to say the least! Since my last post (all the way back in November!!) life has changed in more ways than one for the Collier Clan.

Around the beginning of October, James and I found out that we were expecting! We were excited for about 2 weeks, and then the morning sickness set in. I have never been so sick in my entire life. I ended up in the hospital 3 separate times for dehydration...one of those trips overlapped with Christmas...not fun! By New Year's I was back on the road to good health and able to start getting excited about "Baby C" again.



As if dealing with being 7, almost 8, months pregnant wasn't enough, we just moved out of our apartment into our very first house. Our "new" old house as I like to call it. Our house has been in my family for over 30 years. My great grandparents bought the house in the early 1960's and rented it out until my Papaw retired a few years later. We have had so many Thanksgiving dinners in this house. It's where my cousin and I became best friends as kids. Papaw taught me how to paint and love gardening, while Mamaw taught me how to cook and love family. I love that James and I now get to call this place home and add our story to the ones that are already here.

There's a lot of work that needs to be done since it's an older home and I can't wait to dig into all the little DIY projects. My Pinterest boards are exploding with ideas and designs that I'm waiting to try out. The first room to get redone will be the nursery, and there's only a few more weeks to get it done! No pressure! 

Definitely glad to get back to blogging and sharing this exciting adventure with you guys!
