The Plylers: A House, July 4th and An Anniversary...Oh My!

The Plyler's have moved!!! Our old house SOLD after a year of being on the market. Out of the blue we had two different agents call us up and ask to show our house one Saturday afternoon. That very night we had an offer. After a few days of negotiation we accepted the offer to buy our house and then we were on the HUNT!

We had been looking for a new house for quite some time but really couldn't find what we were looking for. Our agent, Steve, shared that he was about to put a house on the market that would be perfect for us. The only catch, it was more than what we were wanting to pay (of course, right!). It was perfect! Fell in love and put in our best offer. Luckily, Steve had spoke highly of us enough that they came to our ball park to play and negotiate! Just a few short days later...We had a new HOUSE!

We couldn't be happier!! Our old house was about 900 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. This house has 2500 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a POOL!!! And what comes with a POOL??? That's right, cookouts!

July 4th was one of our first experiences having people over and entertaining. Living in such a small house before...we just ~~didn't~~ couldn't have people over. Now, we want to have everyone over and we do! Here is a picture of us hanging out in the pool on the 4th.

We enjoyed the few 4th of July staple foods...hotdogs, hamburgers and WATERMELON!!! This is truly a Dylan favorite. Here's a picture of Allie and Dylan hanging out at the kiddie table together :)

So as if we didn't have enough to celebrate...a new house, independence day, great friends...and our 3rd Anniversary! Late that afternoon my aunt Inez came over to play with Dylan while Daniel and I went out for an anniversary dinner to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse! Yum! Here we are before we left!

We had a wonderful day and an even better evening! We are truly blessed with a new home to grow our family, wonderful friends that can keep us entertained along the way, a sweet little boy that we love oh so much and each other...happily ever after!
