Busy, Busy!

It's been a very busy few weeks. Busy can be good! :) Since we've received our keys, we have been right at work. We painted all four bedrooms: ceilings and walls! The kids picked out their colors before they left so we could get to work. We also tore out the carpet. Smells so fresh now. Looks it too!

It was great to have friends stop in to share in the excitement with us. Our open door policy has begun! :) I really feel that this is not just our home.  It is meant to be shared. God has given us this home to be a blessing to my family and others. Who knows how many friends and family will gather in these doors? I can't wait to begin!

We've had friends and family come over to help us clean.  We've been given some gift cards so we can continue remodeling!  Some friends even brought over ceiling fans for our bedrooms. Isn't that amazing? Our friends are a testimony of how God works through others to bring blessings. Felt like home in the middle of our mess. And, yes, it's still a mess around here! We had our "Estate Sale" this weekend so things are getting cleaned out around here.  Of course, I'm tired and it's back to work time.

Of course, with an older home, you do quickly find out some of the quirks. Like for one, those silly circle things on the wall you never paid attention to...well, those are the phone lines. Don't know about you, but my modem has a flippy square at the end...not a four-prong circle. :D Yeah, they finally came today to give us a wire from the box to our designated office area. (and yes, I've been working on getting that painted so some guy didn't think we live like that! LOL which Kent thought was a bit funny because our garage gives it away!!)

I look around and I can see that we have a long way to go.  We still have boxes to organize, pictures to put up, and carpet to pull out.  But, it is wonderful to begin. God wanted us to wait for this house. He put blocks on all of the others know this is the home meant for us. I can't wait to see what wonderful things He has planned for us and this home!
