This will be my new kitchen on June 1st.
There's a lot going on, so I will give you the highlights.
1. Escrow closed on our San Clemente House last week. We are no longer attached. It was a short sale. We lost TONS of money but we did not get foreclosed on. God is good.
2. We decided to move out of our tiny condo (that we rented to save money in hopes to keep our San Clemente house and then changed our minds)...so we began to search for a new rental home.
2A. We found a house that we LOVED. The price was a little high for us. But the guy really liked us. We asked him to consider lowering the price.
2B. In the meantime, we found another house we liked. And put an offer in. And then just started praying. A Lot. Praying for God to lead us to the right house. After days of not hearing anything, the first home called us and offered us the house. For a lower price. In a neighborhood we love. God is good!
3. In two days...we are taking our kids to Disney World. Just the 4 of us. We are thrilled. The kids know NOTHING about it...we will surprise them Wednesday morning when we wake them up and head to the airport. We can not begin to tell you how excited we are to spend time together as a family. Did I mention God is good?

....All the time...
I am so happy for you that the housing stress is gone.
I can't wait to hear how the surprise goes down....they are going to be beyond excited!
Just like Extreme Makeover--go to Disney World, get a new house!
Yay! That is such great news about the house in San Clemente. I am so happy for you guys! And, how exciting that you found a house you love and it all worked out to rent. I can't wait to see it.
Have an amazing trip! Love you!
You had me at that kitchen.
I'm so glad for you that some of these stresses are easing up! Please promise to post video of you guys waking up the girls and giving them the news!
Have fun and love you!
That's awesome!
So when will we all be coming over?
Can't wait to help you move! What a great house. The condo's been good for you, but I'm so glad you get to have a Molly-friendly yard, big kitchen, garage, and a welcoming street for your guests to park!!
Yep, God indeed is GOOD!
all flippancy (well most of it) aside, I'm so happy for you. God is faithful, and he keeps his promises be rewarding your faithfulness. I'm not working June 1, so I could help you move--of course, then I would know where you live!!
So happy for you my friend... And one of the I things I love about you is that you have said God is good ALL ALONG. Not just when things have gone the way you wanted them to you. I love you much and am so happy for you guys!
And I expect an invitation to your new house post haste!
so SO happy for you guys!!! That's amazing. I hope we get to hang out next week!!!
I really don't know where to start. Thank God that the SC house is in the past. How nice to finally look forward. I am glad that our friendship stayed strong through that big fat mess. I love you so much and I loved seeing you today. Thank you for making the effort to come to lunch even though you had a million things going on. Have a great time on your trip and I will see you when you get back.
We are very excited for you guys! You have held your heads high this past year. Life is good, God is good.
