Our New Home - The Virtual Tour

We already told the story of how God provided an amazing new place to live in this post. We are truly blessed to be renting this house for such a reasonable amount! We have already been using it for hanging out with people and we're looking forward to continuing to use it for ministry.

Anyway, on with the virtual tour...



Here's the house from the street:


When you walk through the front door, there is a formal sitting/living room on the left... but as you can see, we're using it as a playroom:


If you walk straight ahead from the front door, you come to our family/dining room. In the first picture, the front door is at the back left:


At the other end of this room is a big table for dining when guests are over. The family room has a great big window that overlooks the backyard and a sliding glass door to the back patio:


You can see in this picture how the family room is connected to the kitchen:


Here's the kitchen and kitchen table where we eat as a family:


The kitchen from the opposite angle... laundry room in the back... our side entry door from the driveway comes into the laundry room:


From the front door, if you go down the hallway to the right, you pass a guest bathroom and come to our bedroom:


Across the hall from our room is Kaylin and Trevor's room:


One side is "Princess Way:"


And the other side is firetrucks, cars and dump trucks:


At the end of the hallway, there used to be a 3rd bedroom... but at some point the owner's added on to the house and turned it into this large recreation room (talk about great for young adult ministry!):


I took out the bar counter in the corner and converted the space to my office, a place where I can go to study:


The rec room has large sliding glass doors that overlook the backyard and will also function as our guest room:


Here's the back patio just outside the rec room and then the next two pictures are panning around the yard:






Here's a closer look at the pool with the vintage slide. And beyond the pool is more backyard where there are avocado, peach, and orange trees:


From the far back yard looking back at the house:



We looking forward to having you over! =)

That is an amazing house and wonderful blessing from God. It reminds me of hanging out at the Altamirano's house in High School. What was that ministry? I can't remember. But there was a pool and it was fun.
