Our New Home



We will be moving to our new home starting tomorrow. I'm so very excited, but I know that there is lots of work to do. As soon as I get off work today, I'm planning on boxing and cleaning and organizing until the movers get here tomorrow morning at 8:30. I've already done a lot of packing, but I still have a ways to go.

Our current house served its purpose for the time being. Just as our church was moving into its new building 4 years ago, the little house next to it went up for sale. It needed work done on it, but it was so convenient to be living right next to Victory during its formative years.

However, I don't think six people are meant to share one bathroom. The kids are definitely growing out of their little-kid stage, where they like to run and play and stomp around. As I said earlier, I never realized how noisy my family was until I was by myself in Chicago. It doesn't bother me, but I'm glad that they will have room to breathe now.

Mom and Dad are coming up here also to help out. There's still a lot of work to be done to put our old house in sellable condition. In the last 12 years, Brett and I have moved seven times. I certainly plan on staying here for a long time.
