We're home!

Praise the Lord for all the answered prayers! Thanks to our prayer warriors out there for keeping us in your prayers all summer! - we've arrived...we're home! This home has exceeded our expectations in every way! Everything we had on our "list" the Lord has blessed us with! The neighborhood is amazing!!! All the families we've met have been here for over 20 years! Tonight, a sweet family from up the street stopped by with a gift basket, some brownies, sparkling cider and some chocolates! - a little b-day present for me because I've eaten quite a bit of it already! :) YUM! They are Christians and their daughter was very close to the woman we bought this home from!!

We also met the daughter of the lady we bought this home from! Her family is also Christian and they go to the Beaverton Four Square Church. She was so excited we were Christians and so trilled about the home. All in all, we feel so full and so blessed! We have a long ways to go with painting and unpacking, but the house is perfect right now and will only get better in time. We see ourselves being here indefinitely, so we're going to take our time when making "cosmetic" changes because we want to LOVE it and not just do things quickly. So, it's going to be a fun work in progress!!

Again, thanks to all those who've been praying! We're home now, and absolutely loving every minute of it!! Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!
