Getting Close

We are starting to move closer to the "big build". It is cool to see God orchestrate things. We recently had our home inspection and are awaiting feedback from that. We received positive news from the bank and all they need are the blue prints, which we will be completing with in the week. We purchased our wood flooring for a majority of the main floor. Chuck, our builder, has a duplex we can rent while we build. The good news is it is just a few blocks from us and should make both moves an easy transition instead of one big move and dump. We are looking to close the first week of May. If all goes well we may just sign the sale papers and then sign the home construction loan papers and start to break ground. It is very exciting.

The other day Kate took the kids by the duplex to show them where we are going to stay while Chuck builds our house. Kate told Max that him and Charley will get to share a room with Myles while we live at the duplex. Max said, "that is soooo cool mom. Awesome!" It should be interesting.

However, on Thursday as we left the house for the home inspection Kate told me that it just now hit her we are moving. It made me think about all the "firsts" that happened at this house. It was our first home we bought, first time I did home improvement stuff, all three kids were brought home from the hospital to this house, first birthdays, first Christmas', first steps/ falls, first mothers day/ father day, our first dog, and soo much more. Yes, it will be sad to leave our home, but we are excited for the new adventure of a new house. A new list of "firsts" will be made and I can not wait to experience them. And with God leading the way... how could you not be excited?!
