This is a picture of Ward's room... I mean the garage!!!








Here's the exterior of the new house

Moving Timeline?

Everyone is asking when we're moving....

We have a couple of things we want to do to our house before we show it. Ward put in the "surround" around the tub in the bathroom. We also want to re-paint in there. I've started putting up a new wallpaper border in the kitchen (Thanks, Vic S.). We also need to de-clutter. I've been packing. The girls are finished with school June 1. Then I plan to get a dresser out of J & G's room. Their room is pretty small. The less furniture in there, the better...

Jodi came on Tuesday. We've been working on the kitchen. Today we "branched out". We took down & cleaned all of the blinds & curtains.

We have had a few people ask about our house. I've just prayed for the right buyer. We're going to have new appliances in the new house. I think it is a nice selling point to be able to leave our existing appliances in this house.

So, when are we moving? We've set a closing date on the new house for August 1. However, that can be flexible depending on when our current house sells.

House Pictures

Here's a drawing of the house. I haven't thought to take a picture of the front. The garage sits back further than the right side of the house.






This is going to be Mom's favorite part of the house. This picture is taken from the entry way. From this point you can go into the laundry room (not pictured), go down the stairs, go up the stairs to the kitchen. There is also access to the garage here.









Here is a picture of the room next to the Kitchen. This wall is opposite of the kitchen wall. There are sliders pictured on the right. The kitchen table will sit by the sliders.






Here is a picture of the Kitchen. The appliances will be black. I want to paint the walls yellow.

New Day, New Attitude

Yesterday I was feeling pretty lonely & like no one cared. Don't tell Ward, but it might have been hormonal.
Last night a friend offered to come over next Tuesday. This morning a friend called to ask if we needed boxes. So, yes, God is good. I do have friends!!!

Tomorrow Ward & I are going to meet with a builder. He's told Ward that they can have a house built for us before school starts. We'd still LIKE to purchase the house we looked at last Sunday. However, we aren't ready to for our house to be shown.

We're just praying that God will show us. AND we know that he will. I just read this verse this morning: 1 Thess. 5:24 He who calls you in faithful; he will surely do it.

Moving

It seems that I'm not very good at this. I also have an account on facebook. However, I think this gives me more of an opportunity say what's going on.

Ward & I went on a cruise during Spring Break. Upon arriving home we found out that he could transfer to a different unit. He's wanted to transfer to this unit for about 3 years. Needless to say, he was pretty excited.

The "catch" on this transfer is that it is in Cedar Rapids. So, we're preparing to move....

It looks like we're going to end up in Atkins. It is a small town west of Cedar Rapids. It is in the same school district that Ward attended.

I'm pretty stressed trying to downsize (so we don't have to rent a semi to move) and pack AND keep our household going. I could use some prayers!!!
