A quick update

We're all moved in to our new house (finally)! The rental house has been cleaned (not by us, thankfully, we hired some housecleaners) and Collin is meeting with the landlord on Thursday to give back our keys and etc. We're in the midst of changing addresses on everything and just got our new mailbox keys today.

We love this house and are just awestruck every day by the fact that it's ours.

Baby seems to be growing well and has started kicking the heck out of me. :) Elanor and William got absolutely spoiled this Christmas and have many new toys. All in all, things are going very well for us! Now that we're somewhat settled, I'll try to update more often.

It's official!

We are homeowners!

The closing finally went through. Collin just picked up the keys from our realtor. The house is ours!

Thanks be to God!

Great news!!

As I mentioned on Friday, Collin and I put in an offer on a wonderful house last week, and we found out today that it was accepted! We are going to be homeowners for the first time!

The house is right behind our church --we have a magnificent view of it from the master bedroom. Great neighborhood, lots of small kids, close to good schools. 4br, 2ba, a gorgeous backyard with a firepit. There's even a cupboard under the stairs (if we make that William's room, maybe he'll go to a school of magic someday...)

The only drawback is that the interior paint job is pretty ugly (varying shades of peach with one accent wall that's red).  Oh well, we can paint. Elanor's room is not peach but rather pink and purple with a Disney Princess motif -- perfect for her!

We are so grateful to God for this opportunity! If all goes well we will close on November 20. Our lease on our current house isn't up until December 31, so that gives us plenty of time to move in.
