Exciting News..

Lots of stuff has been going on around here lately. We have been working on getting ready to move into our very own home!! :) We are closing on a house here in our city next week. We are so excited and can completely see the Lord's hand in it all. We have been looking at this house for about 6 months and we just kept coming back to it because we just felt the Lord saying this was our home. But the price was higher than we could afford. But about a month ago we went back to them again and we came to an agreement on a price that we could pay. We are so excited, the Lord has blessed us beyond measure. We were thinking we could get a three bedroom and this has four. There are lots of fun house projects in the future for us and lots of fun little things to be done. I have had fun picking out paint colors and imagining how I am going to do this or that. I can't wait to get our things out of storage and put to use, it will be like Christmas all over again. I have dishes that I got for our wedding that I have never used! So, lots of exciting adventures for us in the future. I can't wait to show you before and after pictures....but first there is lots and lots of painting and wallpaper to be taken down!!

On another note...Jack has learned to climb out of his crib! I couldn't believe it when I went into get him the other day and he was sitting in the floor reading a book. Sadie never did this so this is a completely new thing for us. And so the days of putting a child to be so easily are over. :(

I read this blog post tonight that completely touched my heart. I put it on FB but would love to share it here as well. If you have time, please read it and be encouraged. I really want to read the book that they talk about in the post...I have it ready to download to my kindle, but I have to finish the other books first. Oh finding the time to read....I love reading, I should read more.

Well, that is our news here. I will update more later, but I was dying to share our news with you guys!
