Moving along...

We're moving! Not to a new town, but to a new house. The section of housing we currently live in is being renovated in a few months, and we would be moved. So, after many weeks of questions and prayers - do we let the miltary move us into another house on base? do we buy a house? can we afford all that goes with buying a house? what are our other options? - we were given an answer. Our friend, Venessa, has relatives here that we have gotten to know during our almost five years in NC. They have become an extended family of sorts. A family that owns/rents houses. Do you see where this is going? We are blessed to have been offered a very nice FOUR bedroom home at an extremely generous price. The house is much larger than what we have now, and has a beautiful fenced backyard - a great bonus for our family! I have to be honest and say that the asthetics of the house gave me a few reservations at first. But I know that this is an answer to our prayers (an amazing answer!) and we are excited to make this house our home.

With the new address comes a new school district for Jacob. Talk about paperwork! He will actually be starting Kindergarten just days after we are moved. What a transition time for him. Pray for his 5yr old anxieties to be calmed. He and Chloe are excited to have a 'new house for us'. I dont think they quite understand all the work that will come with it, but its great to see the anticipation in their smiles. I will try to take pictures of our handywork - remind me!
