Hard at Work

This past week and this weekend have been packed with home improvement projects. We found the perfect house last weekend and made an offer on it. We wanted a contract contingent on our house selling. The sellers of the house didn't want a contingency so we have to get a contract on our house before we can get a contract on our prospective house. So this past week we have started fixing up our house so God willing it will sell in time to get the house we want.

It is ten minutes from Jonathan's work and two blocks from Grandma Janet and Papa Joe and about a mile from Nana Ila and Papa David! The kids love the house we are looking at. The backyard is right across the street from the school the kids would attend. Jacksen has already said he will walk to and from school every day and every Friday he will walk to Grandma Janet and Papa Joe's house instead of home.

So far in the past seven days we have removed the ugly striped wallpaper from our living room wall, painted the big living room, removed wallpaper from our bathroom (again ugly), removed much clutter, and just organized. It doesn't sound like much but when you throw in our already hectic schedule it really is. We still have to paint our bathroom and replace the carpet throughout the house.

Everyone we have talked to says at our price and location it will sell fast. Hopefully fast enough to get the house we want. Keep us in your prayers. We know God will put us where he wants us, but it is hard to know where and when that might happen.
