Welcome to the Hensley Family Blog!

Let us begin by telling you why we are starting a blog. We were inspired by my sister Cassi and her husband Scott. Our family is so spread out over the United States that after viewing their blog we thought "what a great idea to keep in touch with everyone!" So, here we are, blogging our life so we can keep good tabs with our family! This blog, we hope, will be enjoyed by family and friends and help those who are far away know more about what is going on in our life!

Buying a home!!!



A few months before we were married we decided it was really getting down to the wire about finding a place to live. We looked through the papers, online, and drove around looking for a place we could afford. We had orginally thought about renting but there were not many options with that that we could afford. When we called about the house we ended up with we never thought we would be able to afford it but we decided to look at the house anyway. Brent asked his grandfather to co-sign for him and low and behold we were approved for the loan. Two months later, after many hours of paper work and getting everything together, we finally closed our loan and were the proud owners of our first home! We bought a ranch style home at the top of a hill in Long Bottom, Ohio. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, family room, living room, basement, kitchen/dining area, and a garage. It is a very spacious home and to make it better there is even a hot tub in the living room! There is a covered front porch and a back deck that spans the length of the house with a tree house in the middle (which our nephew loves!) We own roughly 3 acres of yard and 3 acres of woods which our dogs go crazy on. We moved into the house exactly one week after our wedding, it took several months but we finally got everything put into place and looking like a home!
