We passed our safety audit today!!! I also turned in all of the paperwork that I was able to. Feels so nice to have more things checked off of the list!!! Only a few things left to complete. We both need to get fingerprints and background checks done, I need to wait for two more utility bills to come in September and Todd needs a few more classes. Then we will be finished!! I see a light at the end of the tunnel!!!
More VERY exciting news!!! We found a house!!! This is a huge stress relief for both of us! The duplex we live in now was fine for the two of us, but once we get kids in there I know we would be pretty cramped. Plus there isn't a dining room for us to all eat together as a family. The new house has everything we have been looking for! I big kitchen, compared to what we have now. It has very nice, very cabinets and real hard wood floors. Also has a dishwasher which I haven't had for a long time now so that's exciting! It has a very nice bathroom that was renovated a few years ago. A nice sized dining room and living room. A master bedroom on the first floor and 2 other bedrooms upstairs. There is also another room upstairs that will be used as the play room. There is a very nice, rustic, country style finished basement with a wood burning stove and a pantry type place for all my canning stuff to go. Todd is in love with the entire basement! He wanted it to be his "man cave." (HAHAHA!!!) That will be the family room. There is an attached garage, which we have never had before. Very exciting! Plus there is central air which we have missed!! There is a very nice back porch which will be nice for sitting watching the kiddos play in the yard which is a little over 1 acre!! We will be renting the house for now but in a few years there is the potential to buy it.We won't be able to move in until probably the beginning of December which works out fine for us. That way I can wait for my garden to finish producing vegetation. :)
Everything seems to be falling into place all at once. It was very frustrating trying to find a house to move into. All of them were out of our price range, too small, wouldn't pass inspection, or they wouldn't take our cats. We knew God had a plan for us though. We thought it was just to stay put for another few years. Then I got a text asking if we were still looking. And that's how everything happened. We are just so thankful to God for His timing and for all His blessings! We don't deserve any of them but we are so grateful to know that there are more on the way...that would be the kids!!
As always, thanks for the continued prayers for everything to continue going smoothly!!
