Last House, New Rental House, and NEW House

Thanks, everyone, for your care and concern about yesterdays post. Yes, we are moving again. I’m not going to go into any details whatsoever but I will say there is absolutely no ill will between us and the people who rented to us last! I like to think our relationship hasn’t suffered much at all, but that life circumstances happen, and sometimes plans just have to change 🙂 All is well on that home front.

I’ll also say that we have been inquiring about and viewing a number of places in the last couple of days alone. We have seen some great places, and then some others that we know just won’t suit our group. We’ve been turned down by a small handful of places due to the size of our family, but I’d rather that than go to an appointment and have it be painfully clear that we’re too many people right away. Why waste the time? Anyway, we have hope that there will be another place for us soon.

In the interim, though, its nice to be back at my parents. Its definitely an adjustment for all of us, as one would expect, but its a familiar place that the kids love, that Brady and I feel relaxed in, and that is within a two minute drive of our build!! Eek!

This is how it looked today!!! The back and front peaks are on, and all of the trusses that were stacked in front of the house are now up on top, ready for action!! I’m thinking they’ll happen tomorrow 😀 VERY exciting! I took this picture and a couple of others before getting back into my van and driving away. But I drove back almost immediately after noticing that the garage was really really dark.

This is why!!! Those will not only be the obvious, and hold up the roof, but they will also be the floor of the master suite!!! Eek!!!!! I cannot WAIT to see our room come together! I want to actually see it in person, walk around it, get excited to have a haven with a big closet and a kick-ass en suite. I am SO excited!

So Brady is working hard at the last house we lived in, the next rental is still up in the air, which is comforting, as that is precisely where my great God’s hands are, and the new build is looking mighty fine!! I still feel like we’re in limbo, because we are, but I feel like we are also very blessed, and well taken care of, even in our unbelief and in a time of such unpredictability. We’re going to make it. We are GOING to get to our home, and its going to be sooner than it feels, I just know it.
