An End In Sight

Its been a long time since I have written about whats been going on in our lives, and I am just trying to start with where we are now.  But to understand the title I must do a small amount of back tracking.  In August of 2011 bought a house!  Hurray!  Oh, wait, this is like the 4th piece of property that we have purchased, but still Hurray!

This house is in the town where I work and a little further from where James works but still we are so excited.  It was a bank owned property that we have been working (and working and working and working) on since last fall.  But finally now there is an END in sight!  We are so excited at the prospect of finally living in the house that we have spent so much time in but haven't been able to live in!  Such and exciting thing to move in! Well, almost.  We still have several steps to go, but I can SEE the light at the end of the tunnel!  We have been pushing, and pushing, and pushing out the date of move in! First it was by Christmas, then it was Valentines, then it was by April, now we have to be moved in before June 25th!  James is having knee surgery and we need to be moved before then, bottom line, it has to happen.  So we are working as much as possible, as often as possible to get things ready!

I will post a couple of pictures soon of the house, and then I hope to do a before and after post later.  I am looking forward to that, it'll mean we're done! 

We pray that our hard work will help to make for a warm and welcoming home, a place to live and love to the glory of our Awesome God!
