Hi friends! It has been so long since I've let anyone know how we are doing. I am hopeful that after the first of the year I will be better able to keep up better than I have. I suppose hope springs eternal so we will see how I do. This quick post is to share some photos that I took yesterday...of the house that we are planning to purchase in mid December. (Yeah!!!)
For the last 15 years we have been blessed to live in a little craftsman type cottage. When we first moved in the 1100 square feet seemed just perfect. It held our kitty cat and our dog and our stuff with no problem. After Aaron was born it still seemed just right for us. And after I left my teaching job to stay at home it was a blessing to have a house payment that we could easily handle on one income. Add in Addison and then four years later Aiden and all of the equipment that goes along with a child with a disability (oh and somewhere in there we got a 2nd dog), and you have a rather crowded 1100 square feet. (Actually, this is a significant understatement :) )
Three years ago we began looking earnestly for a new home. It has been an up and down search taking us through several contracts (that were not fulfilled), long nights staring at the Remax website, and many visits to houses that were not for us. I am so glad that this process may finally be over. We have waited on the Lord to direct us and feel that this is the house. Yesterday our hopes were confirmed by our home inspection. Our friend and contractor, John, went through the house with us and said that he would not be afraid to move in to this house!! So we are preparing to move!
I took pictures yesterday and would love to share them with you. I have included pictures of the house from the road, the livingroom, the kitchen, the upstairs hall ), and the view from the porch. We will look forward to having visitors after the first of the year!
Blessings to you all,
Christa
