Well we finally made it! We closed last Tuesday on our new home and have been working non-stop to get it in a condition we can live it. We managed to get the entire upstairs painted, cleaned and carpeted as well as air conditioning in 3 days! It was tough but we had some great friends who helped.
Next was moving and because the kids were dying to get into their new schools, we moved in one Sunday (actually half a day). Despite having no air downstairs, no fridge and no floor. It's and adventure and we are just so blessed to be here.
Not to say it has not been difficult. We have encountered plenty of snafu's. The spa leaked all it;s water, missed the bus the first day of school and had a flat tire on the car, leaky pipes in the new house and more leaky pipes, sick doggie (she is better now) and a few more just to make it all fun. BUT, we trust the Lord in all of this and we trust where He has and will continue to give Him glory even in the trials.
What's next? Well now that we have a house, we will focus on raising the remainder of the funds to submit for our homestudy. Because we have not sold out old house we have to raise this money as there is no option for a loan. So, we are having a garage/moving/renovation sale Oct. 9th and 10th if need be.
If you have anything to give away, or need anything contact me. If you would like to buy some coffee to help raise funds click at the top and if you just feel like donating click the chip-in button.
Hopefully soon we can have some shirts and hats for sale. Please continue to pray for God's favor and for protection for our son that we have not met yet.
