Our new home!

This is our new home.

View as you walk in the front entrance.

Living room and garage door.

Our nice big kitchen with dining room.

Master bedroom.

Master bath.

Mac's room. He wakes up every morning and says, "I love my new home mom." So cute.

Jack and Jill bathroom between the kids rooms, very nice.

Baby/spare room. We will be repainting!

I don't think the pictures give this house justice at all. It is a lot bigger than the townhouse and we still have a basement to finish some day. Chris loves being able to park in the garage and has already done a lot of work in the yards. More than he thought it would be and still a lot more to do with them. I love cooking in my new kitchen, I have more room than I know what to do with and having a pantry is really nice.

Our neighbors are great and very friendly. Lots of kids in the neighborhood. The park is just across the street from us and the rec center is just down the block. It's so nice to finally have a house and a yard for Mac to play in.

We officially have renters in our townhouse and hopefully the market goes back up enough in a year so we can sell and not lose too much.

I'll take more pictures of the baby's room when we get it painted and set up.

Love to all,

The Donatell's

Here you go Jeanne, I hope you enjoy it.

Other quick update for everyone.

• We will hopefully be closing on our new home August 19th and start moving everything in the 20th.
• Pray that we find renters for the Townhouse by September 1st.
• I am enjoying my part time job at JCPenny Salon as a receptionist.

Hopefully I will be on here more often to keep everyone up dated.

Now we are settling down so I can find a part time job to save more money to hopefully buy a home in Fort Collins. Continue to pray for us and move to Fort Collins. We will know if Chris passes the background in September so I will let you all know then. Chris also A banded for Patrol with the Sheriff's Office, so if Fort Collins isn't where are to be right now Chris shouldn't be stuck in the jail to much longer. That is all for now, love to all.
