The House

We are officially moved into our house! Thanks to some incredible friends and family we were able to get moved in, painted, and situated pretty quickly.  It is super uncommon for people to clean their old apartment, move all their belongings, clean the new house, paint, and decorate in two days.  We owe our friends big time, they are awesome!  It's still uber surreal, but we love it! We thought we'd share some pictures with you all.

Here are some of the "before" pictures:

During the "transformation":

 (taken right after my mom sliced her finger...ouch.  She kept right on going though!)

 They decided to grill in the garage due to rain...ha.

And....AFTER!  Don't get me wrong, we are still unpacking and have 2 bedrooms and a bathroom to paint, but we are sooo close to being done.  From what I hear from many reliable sources, this last step can take awhile ;)

God has blessed us so much with this house (that this weekend became a home) and we want to use it for His glory.  We are also reminded that EVERYTHING is a loss in comparison to knowing Christ Jesus our Lord.
