Our New Home!!!


God is amazing. After a very long process of saving and fixing our credit we close on the 9th on our 1st home!!! The big moving date is Jan 17 & 18! We are so excited!

It's in Donald OR which is about 10 min S of Wilsonville on I-5. It's 4 bed rooms, 2.5 bath, and almost 2200 sq ft! What a blessing as a first time home buyer! We thought we were going to have to settle and purchase a fixer-upper for a 1st home, but this is everything we wanted from the get go! I will have my own massage room so that I might be able to in the future (hopefully) start working part time from home. :-)


Kaylee is starting her new school at her moms on Tuesday. She was very excited, but I think the realism has now hit her. She's going to really miss all her friends in LO. There's a lot changing in her world right now, but she is always so quick to be optimistic and positive about everything! She is as excited if not more about the new house than we are! While we were there on the 1st taking the measurement's before we close this coming Friday she was running around the house showing us all the parts that are ours,..

"This is OURS!", in the entryway,..




"This is my bedroom!"
in the downstairs closet





She went on and on through the whole house,.."this is ours", and "this is OURs" running from room to room. She was so excited. We decided on rooms,..who gets what. We have a room up stairs with a beautiful view of both mountains over looking this undeveloped field that can't be built on for the next 50yrs, that will be our game room/office. I can see it now,..all the youth kids coming over, sprawled acrossed our lovesac and bean bag chairs. Playing video games, or watching movies just hanging out having a blast just kicking it! That's what we want! A place where everyone can be at home!



When she got done running through the whole house, she fell on the floor in the living room just laughing and smiling!!! This makes everything worth it!!
