we are moving !!!

17 years ago

WE ARE MOVING TODAY !!!! it is crazy here and I have a million things to do.

My sweet children are so excited .

A little story

We picked up the van yesterday, my dh drove it home. I went to get food for all the helpers, when I pulled into the driveway back home, my heart stopped. I never thought I would see the moving truck here. I then just started crying. I am of course thrilled to moving to my dream home, but we have a lot of memories here as well. Silly I know, but Most of my married life, child bearing years, etc was in this home. I had a son die in this home, we have had fights, passion, riches, poverty, holidays, love, and so much more inside these walls.

You guys brought tears again to my eyes, thanks for thinking of me and you have all kept me sane. Thank you and I love you all.

We are on to new adventures, new experiences, new memories & I can finally say " Thank God I'm a country girl" .

    So happy for you and your family, you must be so excited to get settled in and make new memories in your new home together. I know how you felt moving out of your old home, we moved out of state and out of our home we lived for 40 years, so was quite a change, but we all enjoy our home.

    Oh ACF...I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear the wonderful news!!! I've watched from the beginning over on BAH and have laughed, cried, and prayed for you and your family every step of the way. You have been inspirational with your never-give-up attitude! I'm so happy to hear that all the hard work has finally paid off. You deserve every bit of it. :o)

    Bless this House

    Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
    Make it safe by night and day . . .

    Bless these walls so firm and stout,
    Keeping want and trouble out . . .

    Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
    Let thy peace lie overall . . .

    Bless this door that it may prove,
    Ever open,
    To joy and love . . .

    Bless these windows shining bright,
    Letting in God's Heavenly light,
    Bless the hearth, the painting there,
    With smoke ascending like a prayer!

    Bless the folk who dwell within,
    Keep them pure and free from sin . . .

    Bless us all that we may be,
    Fit O Lord to dwell with thee . . .

    Bless us all that one day we may dwell,
    O Lord! With Thee!

    Hey everyone,
    Just a quick update. We are all moved, doesn't mean a single thing is done. Oh my, the mess, the boxes, the dust, the things not finished. Serious unpacking tomorrow. My back is sore, my feet hurt, we can't find sheets for kids beds, our kitties are stressed, electric still isn't complete, no dishwasher, frig or stove, they come tomorrow.

    But....... my home, my home, is beautiful. My heart is here, if I had any doubt before it was eased today as we looked at the setting sun in our piece of sky. Our old home was in the trees and absolutely no outside living. People wonder why I wanted 68 windows and 8 pairs of french doors in this house. Today I can say, to bring God's creation to every room in the house.
    It is stunning. My life is here now, He has brought me home.

    I appreciate all your support , wonderful prayers and well wishes. I will post pics soon. I am taking bunches because I want to share this with everyone.
