Settling in....

We've been in the house now for almost 4 weeks. I can't believe it's been that long! We have almost everything done we can get done. Doug has painted basically the entire house. The boys' both liked their room colors, but other than that, every room is a new color. Doug rolls and I cut in. So, there are two rooms I need to cut in still, but I will hopefully get that done this week. The last thing on our list is to put up a fence, but that will have to wait for just a while.

I seriously think several times a day that I cannot believe this is the house God had for us. It's just almost perfect! It's huge! It's layout is perfect! We just love it! We have an entire room with basically no furniture in it. We hope at some point to put a pool table and game table in there so we can have parties!

I cannot believe how easy it is to keep this house clean as well. Our old house was almost always a disaster. This one is twice the size, but we're able to keep it clean. The reason is that the layout is just so much better! Not to mention the fact that I have my very own workspace so all of my stuff is out of our living space. God is so good!

We haven't really met any of our neighbors. We did talk with the older lady that lives across the street the day we moved in, but no one else. I guess it is hard to do in the middle of winter. We have seen a lot of kids around though, so hopefully my kids will have friends in the neighborhood, as soon as it's nice enough for them to out more.

We absolutely love being here. Doug is still traveling to Illinois three days a week for work, but that will only last the next month. We're trusting God for a job for him in His time. It's absolutely amazing to be hands on with SCC. The whole purpose of us coming here is definitely the best part!

Well, I just wanted to get down some thoughts about the house and our move. I'll attach some pictures of our beautiful new home!
