Apr. 4, 2007 - The Countdown
We are counting down to the BIG MOVE. Only 12 days to go. Every morning Angel wakes up and says "Only ... days left!" And I was worried that they would be sad to leave this house and yard!
I have not had a lot of time to blog with working a ton and packing. And doing school with Angel. And packing. And all that pesky housework. Today is a slower day, however, because I had a docotor's appointment. I was messing around in the yard and stepped into a hole. I heard and felt a "POP" in my ankle. So, now, here I sit with an ankle brace and a few hours off work. Plus a long weekend stretches before me. And I blog...
And on that note, Happy Easter!! We are surrounded by empty and full boxes and plastic eggs. It looks interesting here to say the least. Looks can be deceiving, so that is why I haven't been blogging. Who wants to hear about the hunt for boxes and the packing or tossing of everything in my house? Everyday is the same: work, cook, clean up, bath kids, pack boxes, sleep. Then the weekends are a refreshing variation. Pack, cook, clean, pack, cook, clean, visit Dan, cook, clean, bath kids, pack, sleep. Then there is church on Sunday. If it wasn't an awesome house, I'd really regret this!
Everytime I think of how wonderful the house is, how blessed we are, and our new van, I can't help but be overwhelmed with the love of God. Yes, we worked, and still are working, hard towards this goal. Yes, we had to plan and save and tighten the belt at times. But we NEVER dreamed that we would be owning a house so nice. N.E.V.E.R. God can do exceedingly and abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. And He does.

Apr. 4, 2007 - Do you have to do anything
Posted by BarbaraLee
to the new house? It does seem like a never ending process. We moved 2 1/2 yrs ago from a 3500 sq ft. space new construction to a 30 yr old 1500 sq ft update as we go home. It isn't to bad now the basement is completed with extra rooms down there. It is a matter of making it us. Whether it is new or old you are going to make changes. Enjoy your new home.
Apr. 4, 2007 - New House...

No, there is no work to be done. It is an older house, built in 1920, but fully remodeled. There are a few small things that need done, like a cover on the sump pump, and a few things we MAY do, like a light in the shower. But it is mostly perfect. The house we have always dreamed about. Praise God!
