It's Been A Long Time Coming

Well, it's been a LONG time since I've posted, but we've been VERY busy. We did close on our house on November 28th, and had to be out on the 29th. It was WAY harder than I expected and I expected it to be killer! Does that tell you how it really went. Thankfully, God is faithful and just when I thought I couldn't take another thing, He came through with a sweet blessing.

So, now we are renting my sister-in-law and her husband's house. It has plenty of living space, more than we really need, but is sorely lacking in closets. Also, we went from having a basement to having none. It's a challenge every day. What really keeps us going is that we are getting closer and closer to building. Our contractor is doing all the legwork of getting the well dug and all those things in order in addition to getting final numbers from all the subs. It looks like maybe we'll really get started in March. With God's blessings of good weather, and I am NOT asking for less rain (I'd rather have major delays on the house than that), we could be in the house in August. That would be GREAT. I just don't want another year with a move in the middle, but I'll leave that to God. He knows exactly what I need to make me who He wants me to be.

In the meantime, things have been busy around here with all the Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations and all the treasures of everyday life. I'm determined to get back to posting regularly and sharing what we're doing, so I'll start with that tomorrow. For today, I'm just going to add a link to the picture that is almost identical to the house we've picked out. Looking at it keeps me going.

Just looking makes me so excited!
