Moving!

My, oh my, is it dreary!  Like three days in a row of dreary yuckiness.  That's okay though.  My little Sassafras is taking a very much-needed and overdue nap.  Thank the Good Lord.  And I am sitting down, waiting on my too-hot-to-drink cup of decaf (because we all know that if I drink caffeine this late in the day, I will be worthless, w-o-r-t-h-l-e-s-s, tomorrow) to cool off so that I can drink it, in front of figure skating.  Seriously, what else would make this day totally worth its dreariness? 

Thanks to my wonderful parents, I am moving.  That's right.  Moving!  I am beside myself with excitement.  But in all honesty, this has been in the process for about a month now.  After putting in an offer, we found out that the appraisal came in way to low to compensate.  So, after contesting the appraisal, it came back higher, and we were able to seal the deal.  In December, it will be official, and my sweet little girl and I will be on our own.  Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!

Isn't it adorable?!  I am so completely excited! 

 

So, all the important details:  As you can see it has an awesome porch, hardwoods throughout, a garage, two beds, his and her walk-in closets in the master, one bath, an eat-in kitchen, and a laundry room.  There is so much storage in this little house, which is incredible considering it was built in 1954.  Storage wasn't exactly the necessity it is now.  There are cabinets galore in the kitchen, too! 

 

See all those cabinets?  There's more to the right of the dishwasher!





The previous owners have included some pretty fancy-shmancy appliances which aren't pictured here.  We are going to take out that cook top and the oven that can't be seen in the above picture, and replace them with a gas cooktop range.  I am so incredibly blessed!

 

This home answers so many prayers that I have had for so many years.  My baby girl and I will have a place of our own, where we can live our lives.  We can play in her bedroom, because currently, her bed is in my room.  There will be a place to put all of the things I have been gathering, and that have been gathered for me, over the last several years.  I will have a place to park my car that is out of the elements.  My Little Bit will have a fenced-in yard to play in.  I'll have a porch to sit on and enjoy some sweet time with my Lord and his Word.  Indeed, this home answers prayers that I haven't even realized I needed answers to.  I think it is safe to say that this home is worth a thousand thanks for being given to me.

 

Well, homework beckons, and I have to figure out what to do about dinner before my sweet girl wakes up.  Hope you have a wonderful evening!
