We're MOVING!!!

Well, as if life weren't busy enough as it is, we are adding a HUGE project to it: renovating this great house we found and moving into it! We have been praying for God's leading in making an investment that is smart and will hopefully pave the way to building our home on the land that we love in La Cresta. I told Will a few months back, "There's no way I'm making a move until it's to the house we want to stay in." And then, all of a sudden, I completely changed my thoughts about the whole thing when I realized what a great investment buying a house in this market could be - as well as the prospect of having more space for our family, including a school room! Will has been praying for our unity in this decision, and the Lord's hand in the whole thing was evident when we "stumbled" upon this house. There it was, in this wonderful area near the Temecula wine country called Crowne Hill. We were a bit taken back when we walked inside and saw the less-than-desirable shape it was in, though. But we are really excited about starting from scratch with it and making it our own! We are currently in escrow and praying for great renters for our current house. Thanks to our family and friends who have been praying about this with us since we considered placing an offer on it; we offered low and left it in God's hands... and here we are! Thank you, Allen, for your great generosity in helping us so far and to all our great friends who have already offered moving help, childcare and materials at cost! Wow!! We have certainly been blessed with wonderful people in our lives. Mom, Dad, Mama Jude and Papa Jim, thank you for your generous offers to fly out and help us. We will gladly oblige! We will keep everyone posted each step of the way...
