Wow - we're finally moving!

Well, after eight months of looking at houses, four offers that didn't work out, a whole lot of waiting and wondering, and a couple of weeks of near-panic when we suddenly couldn't close when we thought we would, we are finally moving! Closing is scheduled (FOR SURE this time!) for Friday, and we are moving on Saturday - just in time to prevent being homeless. =)

The past couple of weeks have been, wow, a nightmare headache to say the least. I'm sure that in a few months or years it will be just a crazy story that we laugh at and tell to amaze our friends (like the refrigerator in the bathroom closet in our first apartment), but right now it feels traumatic and stressful, and not really a story I want to tell on our public blog. God has been very gracious to us throughout, and we are so thankful for all the ways that He has blessed and protected us and we continue to trust that His way is the best way.

We are so thankful for this new house - the space and the YARD that we have been hoping for for so long, and just the blessing of having a place of our own. And I am very glad to be moving before baby comes, and that we will likely even have a few weeks to get settled before we become a family of five. Hopefully we can post some pictures as we get settled in, but we won't be doing a whole lot of improving right away, so no exciting before-and-afters just now. =) I am just thrilled to have the space to unpack!
