Van

We have checked one more thing off our 'To Do' List.  We got a minivan, pre-owned, to fit our expanding family.  The kids love to play in it and I'm quickly getting the hang of driving it.  Now we just need a sticker family for the back window and it's a legit mom-mobile.  We traded in the old and tired Kia Spectra and kept the Mazda 5.  Now, Danny can drive a vehicle he actually fits in, even if his drive to work is now only 3 miles instead of 15 to 50.  Plus, the Mazda will also allow us to transport 3 kids if the van is out of commission.  Joy and I have named her 'Pearl' because the color is pearl silver.  However, the color seems to change depending on the light.  Here she is...

Stevens Point Home

We have a place to call home in Stevens Point, WI!  There are some pictures of it in the link below.  Every other 4 bedroom house (with bedrooms on the same level) that was on the market was already sold or sold within a couple days of going on the market.  This house, has been on the market for 3+ months, as if God was holding it for us.  We had originally ruled it out because it has wallpaper everywhere, and we are not fans of wallpaper.  However, when we had slim options, we decided to give it a chance.  It was the last house we looked at, out of 12.  We had a few that were okay at this point, but didn't have that confirmed feeling that any of them were 'our house'.  As we walked through, we quickly fell in love and knew this was supposed to be our home.  Thanks God for the bad pictures online that kept a lot people away!  Currently, our moving date is May 29, but we have been working with everyone involved to move that date up because the distance between Danny and us is getting difficult.  We think we have a new date of May 15, but are waiting for confirmed paperwork on it.  The inspection on the house went well.  It needs a new furnace (and probably air conditioner), some appliances, and some new gutters among other small fixes.  And, the wallpaper has got to go!  We plan on slowly picking away at the wallpaper over time.  Someday it will be just how we want it.  We are so thankful for finding a house that will serve us very well.
We'll keep ya posted as our journey continues.  Take care and God Bless!
