Our New House- March 1st

Since Matt has become the City Manager of Ocala we need to move. We live in Ocala but not in the City proper, which to be honest is fine by me because then we are closer to the College, Mckenna;s dance studio and all our Dr.’s etc…
Our new Rental is 5 min from the dance studio, Mckenna’s school (until she goes next year to the HS,) and Matt will be able to come home for lunch because it will be a 5 minute drive… But the best thing to me is that It is bright and happy!  It is in our favorite Subdivision: Rosewood and there are 2 ward members in the neighborhood plus it within walking distance to the Church, Ashley’s house (for Kenna,) and a few other ward members live close by.  Kenna will not have far to go for Seminary next year and did I say it was SUNNY AND HAPPY?!!!
Well, today, I went in and took pictures- Now, a little unknown information- it was Foggy today and so when you see the pictures remember it is still--- HAPPY AND SUNNY looking!  We will be painting the kids rooms and the bathroom Kenna will have that connects to the pool area.
If you notice it has plenty of space for visitor’s so come one down and hang out but plan to have a lot of fun- because if I haven’t already told you it is a very HAPPY & SUNNY house (I mean I have proof- it has an orange tree, can’t get any sunnier than that!)


This is what you see when you walk into the house through these doors…

To the right of these doors is this…

and this is in the entrance of the master bedroom

Which is what this looks like…

Then you turn to the right and you see this…
a little grand don’t you think?



When you walk out of the master bedroom you see this mirrored wall (which is also to the left of the door.) which is the Formal Dining room (but will for awhile be Mckenna’s dance studio.

And look at that gorgeous lighting

after you walk past the dining room you see this…

which at a different angle looks like this…

And to the left of the stove is this Laundry room

another view of the kitchen

Which has this nice beautiful desk/china hutch and wine rack

go past the sink and turn right and you see this… the entrance to the Other bedrooms.

This one is the door on the above pics left- it will be Kyler’s bedroom

And his bathroom

The office is the 2nd bedroom- it will also have another desk in it for the kids computer (and a mini walkin closet. yeah for scrapbook storage!)

and when you walk out of the hallway to those 2 bedrooms you see this… the family room

and the breakfast nook…

which leads to Kenna’s bedroom (which picture didn't turn out but has a mini walk in closet) and her separate bathroom off the pool area (it has a walkout to the lanai)

which looks like this…

and this- hot tub is in that top corner

and then this (outside the bathroom door) yes, the table and bbq stay!

then the beautiful backyard view

another view

Then past the hot tub is THIS…. A 2 story POOL HOUSE!



Check out this toilet lid…

Full Bath (and a view of me)

wet bar

see the sink (no fridge – kyler wants to get a mini fridge. I want a full size one with a freezer for extra storage.)

extra space (crawl space- under the stairs besides that hot water heater. {Harry Potter would love it!})

Stair Case

Bonus room

Another view of Bonus room with built in bookcases

and closet (kyler and kenna argued about each other having this as their bedroom--- nope not happening.)

beautiful window (the only bad thing is a busy road is behind the backyard.)

The light breezy window in the bonus room with built in window seat that holds a blanket chest!)

Another view of the backyard

and as promised that beautiful proof that it is sunny- an orange tree!

the great bbqer

Sunny, NO?
