Finally - Pictures of the House!

Here's a slideshow of the 200 some pictures we took while our house was being set up and while we moved in and stuff. If you want to peruse them at a more leisurely pace, you can visit our First Picasa web album and our Second Picasa web album. We're in the process of backing up a lot of our pictures there, so there's more to see there and more coming soon.

Here she comes

This map shows the road our house is traveling right now. Yep, it's done and on the way! If all goes well, we should have it all set up by the end of next week and (hopefully) be moving in next weekend. We want to photo-document the whole process, so be on the lookout!

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.
