We have officially started our 'one week countdown' to the day that we move into our new HOME! That's right, this time next week, we'll have signed all the final documents & the keys will be in our hands. Wow wow wow..
I just want to take a few moments to thank my parents (Bruce & Vonni) for their unconditional support this past year and a half. I don't even know where to begin in all honesty, they have been so selfless and have given us so much during our stay here. I guess all I can say is that I'm forever grateful to have parents that love me and my family so much! So thank you guys for all of your support, and for sharing your home with us for an extended period of time-we love you!!
Although moving to a new place will be a tad bittersweet, there are a countless number of things we're looking forward to. As we embark on this new journey, I want to send a few prayer requests out to my prayer warriors:
1.) That the transition would be smooth for Ayden, Jaymes, and myself. As of now, Ayden's used to seeing grandma & grandpa every day (even if not for long). That's going to change, and we don't want him to be upset. I'm praying that in his new environment he'll have too much else to focus on! Things will obviously be different for Jaymes & I as well, and we just pray that we'll ease into our new life smoothly!
2.) That we would continue to be motivated to live financially wise. Obviously, moving into a new home costs some money.. living in your parents basement doesn't. Needless to say, things will be a little more tight than we're used to, but we're prepared, and it's ALL worth it!
3.) That we wouldn't have any crazy neighbors, and that we'd be welcomed into a loving neighborhood! From what we could see, we are surrounded by elderly folks. Which is GREAT, that just means peace & quiet.. hopefully! ;)
We will keep everyone updated on home progress as we move in. We plan on posting before & after pictures so that everyone can see from start to finish what we accomplish! Also, we're in need of a few helping hands on Saturday the 10th. We'll be moving our big furniture items on that day, and so far, the friend's we've asked are busy. We plan on providing lunch for those who can help us! Please be in contact with me if you are able to assist! :)
oh abby i'm so excited for you! The 10th is Owen's birthday party, or we would love to help otherwise. will you be un-able to come now due to moving?
ReplyDeletepraying! love you!
That thought just crossed my mind last night- I'm hoping we'll still be able to come by even if just for a short time! I will let you know for sure after I see how much we get over on Friday!
