Things under control...kind of

Well, it's been a while since I've posted, but I have good reason! After our last house deal fell through, we began looking for a place to rent. And through a chain of events that God laid out for us, we ended up purchasing a twin home in the nearby town where Eric works! I didn't write anything about it previously because I learned the hard way how house deals can fall through. Anyway, we moved the last weekend in June and have been here for two and a half weeks. I'd like to say we're settled, but....

I'll try to soon post pictures of the new place. It is almost bran new and we love it. Lots more space! However, we leave for vacation on Friday and it might not happen for a while.

Things I love about our new place:

Working laundry (we didn't have it hooked up for the first two weeks)
New(er) appliances
Screened in porch
Garage door opener
3 bathrooms (yes, we've used all of them AT THE SAME TIME and we are SPOILED)
Master bath with attached closet
Less yard work
Great neighbors

Things I miss:

Our great neighbors at our old place
Trees (this being a new development, the trees are still puny)
The two minute drive to ALDI (now it is 8 minutes)

Notes on the kids:

Danny has lost both front teeth
Caleb got sick the other day (threw up) from too much xbox (at the neighbors, a special treat)
Sophia loves toads and cried both times the toads the boys caught died.

And Eric is playing Ranger Wayne Danger for VBS. I have the year off due to my "condition". Come see us at our new place!
