We OWN a NEW HOUSE!

 We just closed on our new house!!!!!

I'm so excited!!!!

Of course, with it being winter, the tree is now naked.

It was a journey.

One that I suspect is not over...

but there have been so many little

hiccups followed by major blessings

all along the way.

Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

We couldn't have done it right now

without you guys!

And, of course, there were the 

little "God Winks".

Like...

we left the washer and dryer in storage.

So when we got home we had to buy

a new set.

We bought the exact same ones we had before.

We liked them.

And they were cheap.

But when we got them home and installed,

the dryer door hinges were on the right side

instead of the left.

It's kind of a pain in the neck.

I have to reach over the door to get stuff

from the washer into the dryer.

And over the door to hang them as I

take them out.

And then I was looking at the pictures of the

new house's laundry area and

dreaming, planning, and trying to envision

what it was going to look like once we

moved in. And I realized the dryer

setup requires the door hinges to be

on the right!!!

Such little things.

But powerful.

Anyhow.

We got the electricity, gas, water and trash

all transferred over to our names.

And just waiting to talk to a 2nd insurance

agent to get homeowner's insurance.

Now we just have to wait until spring.
