House Is Almost Ready!

There has been so much that has happened with us these last 5 months, you would think that I would be blogging every day but of course I am unable to because of all of the other distractions like Facebook, new season of tv, general chores, kids and of course just pure laziness. So we are almost in our new house, most everything inside is almost done except for the carpet and fixing up a lot of dings and scratches. We are really excited but my excitement gets diluted when I think of EVERYTHING that needs to be done. This move is going to be an orchestrated event where the movers, installers and delivery people all have to come in before we actually live there and all around the time of Thanksgiving. I want to get in there as soon as possible so I really didn't give us that many days to do all of that, in fact only 5 days and one of the days is Thanksgiving.

Of course, because of our excitement, we are eager to have people over since we've been holed up in our 900 sq. ft. apartment. So I volunteered to have our fellowship's Christmas dinner at our house 28 days after we move in. Actually, every year it's at our house so it's nothing different except we live 30 minutes farther away. If I actually think about it though, I am somehow suppose to move in, make the house resemble a home, decorate for Christmas and Christmas shop for friends and family. AHHHHH....Calgon take me away!!!! Never a dull moment!!!

With all that said, we are SO incredibly blessed. The kids adjusted to the new school as if it's was just another day and have not complained once about our temporarily living arrangement. In fact, we have grown closer but that's probably because at any given moment, we are no more than 20 feet away from each other. The apartment is nice, I even have my own washer and dryer.

Here is an updated picture of our house from the outside. Once we're moved in, I hope you'll come and visit so you can see the inside of it for yourself.
