Dusting off the blog

It's been forever since I've blogged. I can't say I'll keep up , but I know I'll try.
So the past few months have been pretty busy. We are currently in Havasu taking a weekend to rest and recover. Here is a quick recap:

October: Thomas with his love of real estate had been searching for home for our family with more property. We had been looking for a while. Always looking and praying for God to bring us the right one for our family. One came up in Cherry Valley that he had been watching for a year, this time it was listed with the house (before it was just the front 3 acres.) We went to check it out and knew it was special . We decided to make an offer.

November: Making an offer meant we had to sell our house, for a certain ammount. We trusted that if God wanted it to happen our house would sell. We had offers and were in escrow in 4 days. The appraisal also came in with a good ammount.

December: Our renters for the past 5 years bought a house and moved out. We started boxing up our house and packing it into that garage. Packing, purging and cleaning during the holidays wasn't the most fun but we made it happen. We filled trash cans at both houses whenever we could. Escrow closed on December 31st. What a way to end 2015.

January: The first week of January we quickly moved out the remainder of our house and started living in our rental. We had the biggest yard sale ever. Across the yard, driveway and other yard. Massive amounts of clothes, clutter, toys, furniture, and junk. We closed on our property on the 13th and got the keys last weekend.

It has been incredible to see how God's timing has been working. I'm not going to say it's all been easy, definitely a trusting adventure. We are excited and nervous about the future with 5.5 acres. I'm hoping to blog more about our adventures.
