It's quiet.......

It's almost nine. Today is a big day. I will leave in thirty minutes to close on our new home. We will shake hands with everyone, listen, and sign our names by the X probably about thirty or so times. Then we will leave with our new keys, garage door opener and nice big fat mortgage.

The boys are full of excitement today! Kevin says they are more excited than me. I will be thrilled when we are all moved in and settled but until then loads of boxes to be moved.

I can't believe we have reached this moment....... it's finally here!

I might miss this apartment a little bit........maybe.....maybe not!

I pray that God will guide us, protect us, and use us in our new home. On the back porch in concrete I scratched in this verse:

"Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 22:14

My parents have had that verse somewhere in their house for as long as I can remember.

Congratulations,
