We have started packing... yuck! Recycled boxes are amazing, (i think some of them might be from the original move to Oregon), but they have gone through Mike and Gena's move, Kate and Erik's move and even some are from Kent and Angela's move. The funny thing is there are so many 'scratch-outs' from everyone labeling the boxes. Not sure if it will help our friend, the movers, know what rooms the boxes will go to, but we decided to go with a green pen this time instead of the traditional black

We bought a home! God is so good and blessed us beyond measure! Jeff found the house online and within a 24 hours period we had looked at the house, made an offer, signed all the paperwork and our offer was accepted! Amazing how when you sit back and let the Lord lead, he is faithful to lead you and literally drop a house in your lap :) Escrow closes August 16th!
Back in time
