We've done it.
We've made a decision and it's a momentous day.
As I look back on the last six months, I can see the hand of the Lord in our lives. It's subtle. I don't know that I'll ever fully understand it, but I know that it's there.
After my jaunt to Idaho Falls, things have been moving forward quite seamlessly with the sale of our home and we expect to be able to close up on the house within the next month. Hallelujah! I think I'm finally ready move into a new chapter of our lives.
You know, "When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window." At least Maria says so and it seems "that eventually, everything comes back to The Sound of Music." (check it. Ree Drummond and I are kindred spirits.)We've had a bit of a convoluted time getting to this point, but after months of searching, we've finally found a resting place. :) Somewhere to land. We've found somewhere that can be home. A sweet house at the base of the mountain. It's in the same ward and in the same school boundaries and for that, I am really, really thankful. Thankful to not have to uproot our children yet again. We're only renting, but with five kids, every decision feels like it deserves trumpets. :)
So. Come the beginning of next month, we should be moving. Ready to feel like grown ups again. Ready to rest our weary heads and make a new home.

I understand how you feel. I cant wait. To have a place to call home again. The house looks beaautiful.
I am so excited for you!!!! It's a BEAUTIFUL home!!! (I'm assuming you're buying the one pictured!!!)
AWESOME!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this house! I can't wait to see pictures of the inside!!!!
I'm so glad things are working out for you guys!! I can't wait to see pictures of the house!! Are you buying or renting?
It looks wonderful! So excited for you! Having a place to call home is such a great blessing!
@Deanna @Megan - We're just going to be renting. Completely aside from the difficulties of doing a short sale on our house, Sandpoint is just not really a place that we're going to be buying a house unless we are 99% sure that this is where we're going to put our roots down for a good long time. Being a resort community, it's kind of a funky market - made more complicated by the struggling economy.
Yay!! I'm happy to hear your going to be settled. !!!!!
Rachel, it is gorgeous!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
Oh Rachel. It is a lovely lovely home. I would be happy to sleep on your front lawn --let alone being able to rent such a wondrous place. I am so so glad he found your family a perfectly beautiful and splendid home to live it. You are a tremendous person and i have no doubt he is taking extra special care of you.
Yay! I am so happy for you! It will be great to rest and great to be settled. I loved seeing you last week! I wish I could have spent many hours more catching up and just being in your company! We missed your older girls, and Nels, but feel so happy to have seen you, Elsie, Violet and Clara. Tevan loved seeing Elsie and has not stopped taking about her.
Yeah!! I'm so excited for you to have a new "resting place". This is such a CuTe home. Best wishes!
