We are MOVING tomorrow and Friday!

Over the next two days we are moving to our new apartment!
Thanks to Stella, who provided this recent picture to encapsulate my feelings:
 

It's only two streets away, but it's still a move, especially when you factor in an almost-three-year-old and two rambunctious dogs!  We are looking forward to the following things about our new apartment:
  • a fenced in backyard
  • brand new windows
  • a third bedroom...ahem...guests!!!
  • lots more living space
  • a dining area
  • a sunporch
  • a dishwasher (hallelujah!)
  • a dry basement
  • a two car garage
  • staying in the same neighborhood
  • living across the street from great friends, The Oliver Family!
  • however God chooses to use this house for ministry to others
Things we will miss about our current place:
  • being right next door to one of Stella's best buddies, Emery, and his family, The Hermans
  • seeing our neighbors, Jenna and Tim, and catching up via impromptu conversations
  • lots of great memories and "firsts" for Stella experienced here
  • a wonderful landlord, Norm, who took really good care of us over the past two years
Our last move was on the heels of a foreclosure and was MUCH more emotionally draining than this current move.  We are grateful for how far God has brought us in just two years and for what a wonderful place we are at as a family.  Here's to the next phase of live in our little New Village Neighborhood!
