CLOSING ON THE HOUSE!

Just a quick update...



WE ARE CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE TOMORROW MORNING AT 11AM!


More pictures will come this weekend of our big move to our first home!


Thank you for all of the prayers you have sent us. It has been a long journey (we started this whole process in July), but here we are in March about to move in. It is the start of a new era for the two of us. Since January of 2005 (when Nic and I started dating) we have been through things that most couples never have to experience or at least don't experience for a long time. Through all of these struggles, God has been so good to us. He allowed us to fall in love even though we knew that there were hard times ahead. We trudged through 3 1/2 years of the military including a one-year deployment...and yet God still gave us the opportunity to speak with one another. There were times that I would get off of the phone and often think of my grandmother and grandfather going through World War II and NOT being able to speak and hear the voice of your loved one on the phone. She went for months at a time not even receiving a letter and not knowing if my grandfather was even still living and breathing. I am so grateful that we had the chance to speak with one another. Now he is home safely and through with the military. I know it seems weird, but I feel like we are just NOW starting our journey together...even though we have been through quite a lot in the last 5 years. I can't wait to wake up in my new house and walk downstairs to get a cup of coffee in the mornings. I can't wait to let our dogs out in our own backyard now. I can't wait to paint bedrooms and bathrooms and make the house our own. I can't wait to experience all of these wonderful things with my husband in our new home.

Thank you Lord for giving us the strength and the patience to get through this together. We are only strong because of you and because of the love you have given us.
