Though I should be in bed, I have a quiet moment with everyone else in bed so I thought I should finally write about our exciting blessing from the Lord. I have been waiting to post after I took a picture of our new house, but I just have not even had a second to take a picture these last 2 weeks! Yes...after 9 months of looking for houses, we bought our first home and the Lord blessed us abundantly beyond what we could ask for! We love it! It is in a perfect family neighborhood on a culdesac with a big back yard for the boys. That is the main reason we wanted to get into a house...a back yard for the boys to play in. We just have to get a swing set out there now:) We have been in here for 2 weeks now and have been painting NON-STOP! We have painted the whole house and still have a little left to do...it is not a very big house either:) We got our kitchen, bathroom and laundry room flooring in this past week and we are getting new carpet in on Friday. So we are trying to finish the painting before Friday. And then next week we should be recieving our new furniture! Yes...the Lord has really blessed us! Since we've been married, we have only rented and not been able to paint and do my own thing to the house. So finally I get to decorate and paint how I want and it has been a lot of fun! We can't wait until we are all done and can relax in our new home...although everyone is telling us there is always something to be done when you have your own home...but that is ok with us:)
P.S. I know some of you are asking for pictures and I promise I will show some soon:)
Congratulations!!! That is so exciting! I pray the Lord blesses your family in this home and I'm sure He will be using it for His glory. Yay for the Shrewsberry's!
