The List Goes On. . .

I'm taking a quick break in between packing boxes to write you all a quick update. Life is crazy, although I guess that's nothing new! Corey & Kelsey are getting married one week from tomorrow, it amazes me how dates sneak up on me so quickly! Now, as if the rehearsal dinner & wedding plans were not enough Will & I decided to move out of our apartment so Corey & Kelsey could move in. We figured it's about time we get a house & nothing's more motivating than being homeless! It's never been more convienent that we live in an apartment on top of a mini storage. . . Packing consists of filling up the boxes & taking them down the stairs to our unit. Such a blessing! We're very interested in a house here in town but are keeping our options open. I kinda want a fixer-upper with a little land, but if that's what we end up with we'll be at Mom & Dad's for a few months while we do improvements. . . . We're actually looking at one that's 1600 sq. feet & on a 14,000 sq. ft. lot. Which is enough land to satisfy me for now at least! Anyway, if any of you know anyone selling a house or thinking about it please let us know. More importantly, please pray that God leads us to the right house. . . He's already taking care of us! A couple of days ago we went to look at one that's just around the house from the mini storage (which would be convienent for Lilyanah & me as I will still be managing the business). We had a friend/real estate agent come to look at it with us. . . It was 1500 sq. feet on a 7000 sq. ft lot. . . . 2 stories, a fixer-upper in the fullest sense of the word(s). They were asking $189,000 which we thought was an amazing deal, especially here in Newberg where the plot alone would have been worth $125,000. Anyway, long story short. . . there was no crawl space & we ended up finding out the house is basically sitting on cinder blocks (NO FOUNDATION), for all of you who have no idea of what I'm talking about! Anyway, we told the guy we weren't interested after finding that there's no foundation & he called today to tell us he would sell the house to us for $1000 less. (It would cost a minimum of $15,000 to lift the house & pour foundation under it!)We just laughed & thanked God for the insight! Lot's of fun parallels to the foundation under a house & the Foundation of our lives. . . Anyway, back to packing. . . I love you all & thank you for the continuing prayers. If you would please include little Lilyanah in them, she's come down with her first illness; an icky cough & runny nose. But she's still such a trooper & smiles through it. Until next time. Wendy.
