Excitement Abounds!




The last time I posted was Dax's birthday, and a lot has happened since then. We began to prepare our townhome for Elizabeth to arrive and for the four of us to fit in our little 2 bdrm townhome. Dax moved into a big boy bed and we had a huge garage sale to purge and make more space.

Well, two weeks ago we got an offer on our house and went under contract just two days after we received the offer. The next day we went house hunting and found a house that not only had our few non-negotiables, but it had all of the things we have prayed for on our impossible prayer list! Its at the end of a cul-de-sac, 4bdrms upstairs with two more in the basement, and a 3 car garage for my wonderful husband! We are overwhelmed by God's generosity. So we are officially under contract with a new home.

In the month of August we close on our current home on August 3rd, close on our new home August 9th, I turn 30 on August 9th, we welcome 11 staff to our campus ministry here at CU on August 10th, and we welcome our sweet Elizabeth Ann into the world on August 22nd (not to mention that is the first day of school)! We are so excited (and a little overwhelmed)!

Needless to say, my nesting instincts have kicked in and I have officially started preparing for Elizabeth's room. I finished her bedding, which I will post once I put it all together in her crib, and made some fun letters to hang on her wall. So excited for her to join our family!
