Hmmm...its been a while since last we met. And here is why. WE MOVED!!!!

We (well we and the mortgage company) actually own a house!


This is so surreal.

We found this house and 20 min after looking at it we "made an offer" which, apparently, they couldn't refuse because they said yes :-) So to make a long story short we are moved in. The longer story involves tears and prayer and angst and agony, but the shorter version is easier to type :-)

So here we are, and here are a couple of lessons learned...

1) Trust God, He may not be early, but He is never late!

2) Count the cost, this is not just a nifty keeno biblical saying, its true! Figure out what it will cost BEFORE you get into it, and also make lists of what you will need to do.

3) Play lots of ABBA.

4) Lift with your knees, not your back.

5) Even in the middle of moving a piano, listen to God, He might have a better way.

So there you are, a few lessons learned and a home made happy by the Lord and my family. God is awesome in that He does what we need when we need it, not just what we want.

And a HUGE thanks to George McDaniels, our realtor and piano mover, if you are in the Halifax area I highly reccommend him .

See ya
