.and everything changes

If there's one thing I've learned from the scriptures it's that 'it came to pass'.

Everything that comes in life is going to happen whether we like it or not. Even the difficult things. They come and sometimes they pass by, but sometimes they stop and stay for a while, and sometimes they don't pass until we do. There's only one thing we can do: Deal with it the best we can.

You know, Air and I have pretty much thought of nothing but moving for the past year. We've wanted to buy a house. We've known since we moved here that someday this dream would come to pass! We certainly thought it would happen much sooner, but its been one of those things that stops and stays for a while.

We'll need more space pretty soon and we have a moving deadline. We've been feeling pretty motivated to find a home! A place for our family.

A lot of you have already heard the news ..........but guess what! It's coming to pass.

We found a home! It was in our area and in our price range, so we put in an offer last month.

WE GOT IT!

It's a fixer upper (kinda trashed at this point), but it's got great potential and we've got some great big renovation ideas dancing in our heads. We can't wait to get in and get to work making it ours!

Right now we are just so thrilled and grateful to be moving out so soon! Yayay!

This has been quite the journey.

Dear Baby-in-my-belly,

I am so happy to have a place to put you and your stuff in four short months! I'm sure you'll appreciate it too.

Dear Mom and Dad,

You WILL have a home to come visit when this baby arrives! Maybe not a mattress... but have you seen our awesome sofa/bed?? Yeah. Nice.
