Moving forward

Today I am feeling very encouraged about our home. We were able to sign the loan docs today and do an initial walk-through with the sales rep. to point out things that need to be fixed before we move in. The carpet was in, but still waiting for the linoleum for the dining room and hall way. The outside is amazing and made a huge leap today. The porch is finished and this evening they were painting the wood railing. The awning also went up today so now there is a covering over the front porch and the driveway. The contractor assured us that the porch and steps on the back of the house will be finished tomorrow and Jon's shed will start going up.

I am starting to allow myself to really believe that we will be using that U-Haul truck on Saturday -- this Saturday the 22nd. Tomorrow I'm going to start packing up the stuff we brought with us to Kristin and Rani's. Wow! It's hard to believe that next week at this time we may be living in our own new home and celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. How cool is that?!

May the rest of this advent season be filled with anticipation not just of Christmas day but the return of Jesus to this earth to rule in peace.
