We close on our new house in less than two weeks! I have been trying to distract myself with Christmas shopping and decorating but I still cannot wait to get moved in. Why does it take so long to buy a house???? The told us it is going to to take about an hour to sign all the papers at closing. I can just imagine how C and M are going to handle that! Aunt Becky might be able to come with us and play baby wrangler, which would be awesome so we don't end up signing our life away without reading all the papers first.
Husband and I are still humbled at how things turned out for us. It has never been more apparent to us that God is at work in our life. We watched our friends put their houses on the market and sell within days. It took our house three and half months to finally sell. All that time we were in limbo and putting up with a long commute and wondering "Why o Why are we having to go through this!" Turns out that we needed to wait so that the right house (at the right price) would be there when it was our turn to buy. If we would have bought sooner it would have been a house that was okay but not the right one and one we could feel great about. It is so hard to be patient and to realize that sometimes the answer to your prayer is "Wait." Okay enough sermonizing, I just wanted to share what is in our hearts right now.
In other news, M is already pulling up on his knees! He just started crawling pretty good. Looks like he will be an earlier walker. I guess that will just coincide with my new years resolution to lose weight. At least I will get my exercise in running after these two! Oh and running up an down the stairs ought to help with the junk in the trunk also. Oh and of course, just about the time I start to lose some weight and look/feel better, I bet I will be pregnant again. Ah the circle of life. hehe.
C is really excited about Christmas. This will be the first year that he "gets it." This is so much fun for Husband and I. His gift (a train table) arrived a couple days ago and I just can't wait to give it to him.
