Homeowners Eve

Tonight is the last night we will spend in a base house for who knows how long. It could be 3 years, it could be the rest of my life. I know that we are supposed to be moving and buying this house, I believe God ordained it and set everything in motion in the world and in our hearts to make it happen, though I am still bittersweet regarding the thought of never living in base housing again. It was always nice to be living in a safe, gated community, with top-notch armed security surrounded by people who are going through most of the same stuggles and heartaches. It was also nice having quick access to work and great benefits like commissary shopping or 0% sales tax.
In the end, I do not regret any of the time we spent in military housing over the course of the last 6 years. We have lived in some pretty awesome housing and some pretty shabby housing, but it was the constants mentioned above that make it such a great experience.
By the time I make my next entry, we will be homeowners! Praise the Lord!

E up the wall

Yes, it has been way too long! SO, I will make it up to you all by posting this great video of our amazing daughter scaling a climbing wall a month after her second birthday. Enjoy and please feel free to share with your friends!

Soon to be Homeowners!

As the picture down and to the right states, we are days away from closing on our first home. This is a huge step of faith and God has closed a lot of doors while opening a ton of doors to make this happen. We are very excited about the extra square footage inside and out and we are also excited about the investment that it will be for our family and our future. Your prayers are greatly appreciated as we venture down this new path of home ownership.

House Hunter

A funny thing happened today - I received my first website visitor from the "Land Down Under". So, if you're reading this, Aussie, welcome to Mediocre, Alaska! Australia and New Zealand are high on my list of distant lands that I pray we make it to some day, and not in the distant future, but while my kids are still young and not yet teenagers.

We spent several hours this week looking at houses all over Montgomery. Part of me wishes we were not forced to move every three or four years, then I wouldn't have to worry so much about resale! I could truly find the best home to suit our needs. It just so happens that our biggest need is the ability to unload it when the time comes to move on. That's OK, though, as I'm still not completely in love with Alabama - yes, it is growing on me a tad, just not nearly enough to take the place that Alaska holds in my heart. God bless you all this week as we enter a new month!
