.3963 part1.

Well we are moved in and settled and we are loving life in our new house. We have been so blessed!

The living room was DARK paneling walls when we bought it...they are now a light bluish/gray

.living room from the front door.

.LOVE these built in bookshelves.

 .the kitchen was dark paneling on the bottom of the walls and white up top!.

.the bar and the door that leads into the garage are both painted the nay blue!.
The family didn't want to leave the bar stools, but we wrote it into the contract, so they did! they are retro orange "pleather".

 .The dining room was the dark paneling as well with gold carpet! We painted it khaki and then put down laminate flooring!

.this door leads to the patio and backyard.

.Jacksonville Zoo.

While we were in FL we knew that we wanted to visit the zoo, so we thought it would be best to do it the day we were leaving town. So GiGi and I loaded up the kids and headed to the zoo, we were there when it opened! The guys met us at lunch and we had a picnic in the back of Andrew's truck before we hit the road for the LONG trek (thanks to traffic) home.

ap is so serious!

 

The kids were SOUND ASLEEP and SNORING before we even made it onto the interstate!

.NOTHING but the blood Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Glory! Glory! This I sing
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 

 

 

This is an old old hymn that I have a vivid memory of singing all the time growing up in church. I remember sitting with my grandparents at Sunday night church, and I can still hear my sweet grandmother's voice singing it. I remember singing it from memory and not grasping the truth of the Gospel that is this song. So thankful that it is because of the blood of Jesus that I have hope, peace, and righteousness. I am whole and its the only thing that can wash away sins. I now have eternal life. It is His blood that has washed me white as snow.

 

So thankful! Hebrews 9:22 says: "Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." Thankful that we don't live under the law, but are cleansed by the blood of Jesus! 

.Clay County Fair.

.AP wasn't too sure of the toothless, blood shot eyed man that was running the ride!.

.we even ran into some of our cousins as we were leaving!.

.Spring Break in FL pt.1.

For my spring break we headed to spend time with Andrew's family. Like always we had a great time seeing all the cousins, time with Gigi and Poppa, Jaxman, the dogs, the Clay County Fair, rocking chairs, sandbox, catching frogs, and the Jacksonville Zoo. HattieJo and I even got to go and have lunch with the big boys at their school. It was a blast!
