Oh, the Joys

Well, Jace told me he wasn't going to add anything new to our blog until I write a post, which as you can see has taken me over 3 months to do. Well, since our last post (or Jace's, I should say) we are official home owners! Scary, I know. We "took occupancy" on June 13th, Friday the 13th to be specific, and got to work right away...and we haven't stopped since. We moved into the madness on June 21st and about a week ago it finally felt like home. We still have PLENTY of projects to do, but it's just about presentable to have guests over (to hang out, not to put to work).


Mostly, we are just thankful. We are thankful to so many of our friends and family who helped us out. You all saved us hours and hours of time and energy. And we really appreciate the attitude everyone had, even though we gave some of you really yucky jobs. And we are very thankful that God has given us the ability to be able to live in our new home. We had a couple surprises here and there and will still be stretched to get all the bills paid every month, but God has always provided for us what we need and we have no doubt He will continue to be faithful. There is a slideshow on the right-hand side of the page of the many people who helped us out. Check it out - and if we missed you, sorry. We still really appreciate you!
