are moving

    A big aspect of this year has been looking for a house.  It has consumed so much of our time and energy and been such an up and down adventure that I forgot that not everyone has been a part of it. That has lead to some surprise from people I love and care about. Although, they should all be glad to have not been a part of the journey that was fraught with tears, hope, disappointment, fights and just so.
much.
fun. 

But finally, FINALLY, I will share with everyone:
     

WE ARE BUILDING A HOUSE!!!

     We are moving because our current house is getting too small.  Jarrad has a job that allows him to work from home.  That is great - he can literally work from home in the middle of the house.  Which is not always the best thing when kids are home for the summer and Daddy needs to get on a conference call- so we want an office for him.  We found that we also needed another toilet - when you have SCI, you basically get a whole bathroom to yourself every other evening and no one else can use it.  We would  like for folks to be able to visit more and that means we need a place for them to stay.  And we wanted someplace that would be easier for both of us as we got older. 
     Is it perfect?  No.  We can't afford perfection.  But we can tweak it as we go.  This is going to be our house, God willing, for the rest of our lives. 
     We are very excited.  We are counting down the days (84) until we close on our new house.  We are praying and crossing our fingers and toes that the current house will sell and for asking price too.
     Come on, wouldn't you want to buy our current house?  You just can't have it till December!
