You can say, alot has happened since my last post!!! Due to being sick and not having access to the computer during the move, I couldn't keep the blog updated. So.....we'll start with the selling of our house. We decided to put it back on the market once Mark had completed working at his new job with GE for a few months. We LOVE Holly Springs and now, that he was working close to home, we hoped we could sell and buy ASAP. Well, we put it on the market in January and sold it in March! We got an offer on a Thursday night then the kids and I started the new home search on Friday. We were expecting to be living in an apartment for a little while because we had to close in three weeks. But, thanks be to God, we were led to our new home just in time! So, after some wheeling and dealing with the buidler over three days, we got an excellent deal and were able to have back-to-back closeings! It was absolutly crazy! I was little help because I was so sick. Mark handled the move with co-workers who took off half a days work to help empty the old house. Then we had five other friends show up at different times to help load the house. It was unplanned, yet it worked out perfectly! We have felt so blessed for Mark to have a great job, to be surrounded by a great group of friends, and to now have a beautiful home that we hope to grow VERY old in!!! As for our old house, a lovely couple live their with their 2yo son. It was nice to pass it on to them.
Now for the other wonderful and best news.....we're expecting a baby girl around September 7th! We are so excited, it's just great! This pregnancy has taken a toll on all of us, but as of 4 weeks ago (who's counting) I finally started to feel better. For the first time, we found out what we are having, though I knew it was a girl because of how I felt! She's kicking a lot and the kids just think it's so funny when they feel her. Thank you for all your prayers, support, phone calls and checking in during the difficult first months. Now we're looking forward to getting the house in order and preparing for our newest little one. We can't be happier to be expecting another baby!

You and baby look beautiful and I'm glad you are both doing so well! Honestly, it is very hard for me to not be envious of your abundant blessing and I couldn't be happier for you.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so pretty:). It sounds like it is brand new, is that right? What are your favorite things about the house?
I'm glad that Mark's job is good and secure. We had a momentary scare about funding problems with Dave's position...but it ended up just being political smoke, praise God.
Angie,
ReplyDeleteKade took that picture of me on my front porch. He knows how to pick a good spot!
The house had been on the market for almost one year. No one was buying it becasue of the backyard, which the builder fixed really nice before we moved in. Also, the economy. Builders are pulling out of the development and our builder came down in the price. We are the first owners, and that is strange. My favorite part is the kitchen! But I can truly say I love the entire house. I'll be posting more pics per many requests! (:
I'm glad everything worked out with Dave's job. I know that can be uncomfortable.
