OUR HOUSE!
Surprise, we're buying a house. We've been looking for quite awhile....and we found the most amazing house....and now it's ours......well almost. (cue "Our House" by Crosby, Stills and Nash)
We have been feeling for awhile that God has been calling us to be more hospitable. We have family and friends from all over who really can't come to visit us because we just don't have room for them. Also, we have felt really cramped when we've had people over for dinner or movies or games etc. We have really felt a call to do that better but in our current home we just didn't feel we could. We have LOVED our duplex apartment. But also with the boys getting bigger we're quickly outgrowing it.
We looked at some nice houses. Nothing seemed right. Then a couple weeks ago we looked at this house. We both knew within minutes that this was it. This was perfect. More than perfect. Basically it's bigger and more amazing than what we were really looking for! Hardwood floors. Window seats in the stairwell and the dining room. Lots of bedrooms. Giant pantry with storage space galore. HOT TUB. One of the joys of living in Warren is that we can actually afford this place!
They accepted our bid, and we're just doing paperwork stuff right now. We're closing before Thanksgiving and will probably move in the first weekend of December!!!!!! (come help)
So I'm finally getting around to pictures because basically I've ignored my blog for awhile. Here is our new house. I’m going to leave out pictures of the basement and attic….do you really need to see them right now? (Please ignore all the furniture and boxes since they belong to the current owners)
So the biggest question now is: When are you coming to visit?

Watch this of the Day
Newsweek did a great little bit on some of the Munchkins from Wizard of Oz. There are 5 still alive. VERY COOL. Watch this.
