This place is so fun! The movers came last Thursday and moved the furniture in. Paul was able to come straight here from work and have all the beds and things already set up. The first night was awesome. We kept asking each other, "Are we really here? Are we dreaming this?" It is just amazing how the Lord worked this out for us.
The kids get up early to go play with the goats and they love the trampoline and swing set that the owners left. I love going onto the screened porch in the mornings with my coffee and Bible and watching the cows. The sun rises over the field -- it's just beautiful!
My mom came Saturday and worked her magic. She is great at decorating and arranging furniture. Thanks Mom!
There are of course some issues with a 100 year old home. There is no dishwasher (except me and the boys) and the downstairs bathroom is the size of a closet -- a really small closet. Speaking of closets, our master bedroom doesn't have one. So while this is a very fun experience, it is not perfect.
The closing for our other house was pushed to next Wednesday. We have to replace the door knob on the front door and add hand rails to the steps of the sun room. The FHA appraiser requires this. I don't know how we're going to get this done, so please pray it works out with little stress.
