Moving Day is almost here! 8 days. (That's how long our house was on the market too... 8 days!) That's all the time we have left to pack, clean, pack some more, use up the food in the freezer, and keep packing! :) We are so excited about the new home we feel God has blessed us with. I am really looking forward to life in the new house, to hosting Bible Studies with friends and youth, hosting Disciple Now weekends, providing a safe haven where our kids and their friends can hang out and know that there will always be a warm hug, a listening ear, and a good snack. A crafty place where we can create and make memories, and a comfortable place where we can relax and catch up. A playful place where can be loud and crazy and dance around to our favorite music.
We had the boys make up lists of what they wanted in a new house when we were house hunting. It was very helpful because it gave us a window into what they valued as important, and what kind of spaces they would need. It also gave us a pretty good laugh on a couple of things, especially on Hunter's list.
AJ's List: Hunter's List:
Separate Bedrooms Playroom
Shed or Workshop for Dad & AJ Craft Room (this was on Momma's list too!)
Flat Driveway New Refrigerator
Basketball Goal New TV
Place to Ride Bikes Swingset
Place for Archery Practice
Climbing Tree
We did not get the new TV on Hunter's List, and we are pretty sure we won't be able to do the swing set either. The Archery Range on AJ's list is pretty much a big fat NO, and there is not a tree big enough to climb... yet. But other than that, we did pretty good! The Lord has really blessed us, and we are so very grateful.
If you'd like to see the "Before" photos of the new house, they are pinned on my Pinterest Board. I will try to post "After" photos after we actually get moved in. :)
