Lawn mowers, weed whackers, and fertilizer..oh my!

We officially have our brand-new house on Keesler Air Force Base, and we could not be more excited! I haven't actually gotten to see our house in person (this part of the neighborhood wasn't built yet when we visited there last summer), but here are a few of the pics we've gotten so far!

It's kind of hard to tell in pictures, but the houses are duplexes. We found out the family living on the other side of our house is from Georgia Tech. What a small world! So we made sure that little Uga was right out front. :)

Look closely, and you'll see him sitting to the right of the garage.
This is our little screen door! This may not seem like a big deal, but we've always wanted one..so this is very exciting to us! :)
This is our patio & little fenced in back yard. Please note our Air Force rocking chair on the patio. :)

After living in apartments throughout college and then living in our condo in DC, Derek was more than ready to have a house! I'm excited about more space inside, but he's ecstatic about having a garage and a yard to cut! So as soon as we found out we officially had our house, Derek made his first of what I assume will be many trips to Lowe's. We're loving the 10% military discount. :)
We'll have lots more pics in the coming weeks! But for now, I have to get back to work on report cards, lesson plans, end-of-year assessment data, and the list goes on...

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek of our new house! :)
