Our Big Move

This time last year, our little family made a move to a new city. We decided to rent a house to give us an opportunity to become familiar with the area. We weren't sure if renting was truly the best idea, but we felt like it was best. After all, it took us 8 mos. to sell our old home, and we didn't want to go through that again. It turned out that we fell in love with the neighborhood that we were renting in, and a house became available that fit us perfectly in all areas. We look back on it and know that once again God's perfect plan wasn't on our timing but His. This house wasn't available last year nor was any other house that we just LOVED. We plan on staying in this house for many years!

We are settled in for the most part. My parents took J to their house last weekend, and my middle sister came to help us move/unpack. We worked hard to get things done! Let me say that getting closed on the house was not so easy...three different dates were set, and we finally closed on Wednesday. We were almost left homeless as our old house was being rented beginning Tuesday. Thankfully, we had our agent fighting for us a place to live and a final closing date. Not to mention, Dave and I were having to get pretty assertive with the bank, too, as they seemed to have some internal problems going on within the bank. On a truly brighter note, we were able to move in on Saturday as planned, but the bank had to pay the rent for the five days until closing. The sellers left the house in excellent condition and definitely well-maintained the home.

All three of us are very happy here! Most of all, we are so thankful that God has once again provided for us.
