We're moving AGAIN...at the end of February

Yes apparently Jeremy and I enjoy having a crazy life! Since August we have put our house on the market, found out I am pregnant, gave away our 2 dogs, sold our house, moved into an apartment, and have now bought a house. Throw in softball season, Gracie starting school, and the holidays and you'll understand why I seem to be in a daze. :)

No, actually the house we've bought is a tremendous blessing and I'm still in awe that it is now officially ours. You see our new house was on the market almost a year and is literally 2 minutes from Jeremy's parents. We would drive by it all the time but never in a million years would have thought we could afford it. Finally just before Christmas we decided to go and look at it and see if it was something we would even consider. It's an older home that needs updating but we're not opposed to some sweat equity so we gave them an offer. After some back and forth we finally agreed on a price that in all honesty only God could have orchestrated...almost $40,000 less than what it was originally listed for!!! Being in the apartment isn't so bad either considering now we have somewhere to stay while we get a few things done prior to moving in. The next 6 weeks or so are going to be busy but in the long run it will be so worth it. I'll try to post pictures at some point!
