That’s right. This past weekend, just in time for L’s birthday, we closed on our new home   almost a week early!

Last Saturday we did our final walk through then Monday signed paperwork and today we are getting the keys.

The home is on a quiet street with only a few houses and several small farms, but it’s close to the freeway so L will be only twenty minutes to work. Plus it’s just down the road from our church and main shopping area. The place sits on quite a few acres of pine trees, all designated as forest land that can be commercially cut and sold as timber, great for walks and hunting.

We have our work cut out for us to turn this rental back into a home, including painting, and deep cleaning inside, as well as a good deal of junk removal outside.  Our first goal of course, is setting up the nursery.

It is a house with a lot of potential to make our own, with several projects planned out across the first few years and we are excited make this new house our home
