The big move...not really...

A couple weeks after all our family left, we moved into a new home on Jan 24th...it is less that a mile away, so not a very big move at all! :) We have been trying to short sell our home before it forecloses, but the banks are being quite difficult and we still (as of Feb 26) don't know if they are going to ever come to an agreement. But anyway, we needed to find someplace to rent and God totally provided much more than we imagined! We found an amazing home almost the same size as our old one, with a pool even (the girls had been praying for that :) ! The home is even painted in my color scheme of chocolate and beige. The price is incredible, and we feel so thankful and blessed! So here are some pictures of moving day and our new home! We had lots of friends come and help and we were so thankful because we have some really heavy furniture...we are not sure if they want to be our friends anymore :)

The part of the wall I never painted because it was behind the entertainment center! lol

After the home was all cleaned out, we took our kids back to say goodbye. We got to pray together and just thank God for the 2 years He gave us in that home and for all the good memories. We realize there are so many things that we God gives us to enjoy for a just a season, and we are thankful even when that season is shorter than we expected!

Our new home!

This is the front fomal living and dining as you come in the front door.
The family room has an opening to the office, which is a little funky, but maybe someday I'll put some interior shutters up.

I didn't take pictures of the upstairs, but there are our room which is huge with a 5 piece bath, the 2 girls rooms and a play room. We even have a guest bedroom downstairs again! It is really a wonderful home.

My grass..err, weeds :) We will need to get a lawn mower again, as our old home had no grass, poor David, he now has to mow this small patch of grass! :(
