Back to the States & HOMEOWNERS!!


The first time we saw our house in person! :)


 I had posted a while back that we were in the process of buying a new home and were hoping and praying everything would go through without a hitch.  Well good news...it did!  We are now homeowners in the state of Georgia! (The Snowden Family 1st House established March 31, 2011)  However, I will say that buying and closing on a house from another continent is quite the ordeal.  If you do not have a family who is completely married to details and perfection: DO NOT DO IT!  I have a mom & dad who were willing to drive to Dahlonega to look at listing after listing, making endless notes, take pictures, and work with builders & realtors asking the questions we would have no idea to ask to make this dream a reality.  They are pretty amazing! 

Let's just say that signing on a house, packing up a life in Italy, Joey switching jobs, moving internationally, buying a new car, waiting for Joey's truck to arrive in the states along with all of our possessions (5 weeks after moving), and moving into a new home is a lot to do in one month.  From mid-April to the end of May was a wee bit busy to say the least. haha!  Here are a few pics of our new house that we call home!  We have a million projects to finish (decorating the 2nd floor and our bedroom, landscaping a yard, etc... but we have time and it is exciting!!) Enjoy!

I had to put a slipcover on our new couch due to having 4 animals :(

Welcome to my kitchen where for the first time since we got married (1yr & 1/2) I have my everyday dishes and fine china!
