Another Update

Well, now we're on the path of no return. We've leased the land, we've put the down-payment on the house, and we've signed all the contracts that need signing. Now we just have to wait for the house to show up.

We've officially become trailer-trolls.

Now don't get me wrong. The house is really nice, it is brand new after all. But it's a trailer. I'm thrilled that after almost 20 years of marriage we finally have a house we can call our own, but it's a trailer. Once it's moved onto the land we can add on to it, build a nice deck, make it look like a "real" house. But it's a trailer.

As I said in a previous post, this has become our only option, so it's obvious that God has lead us down this path, and I should be grateful. But 7 kids in three bedrooms - man that's cozy.

But anyway. We're still looking at the expenses of hooking up the utilities, water, electricity, propane, phone - so we are still in need of money. Those of you who are the praying type, please pray that we can find the funds to make this happen.
