Well, April was a busy month for our family. We started out celebrating G's birthday a week late but that was because of a conflict with Easter. We followed that promptly with our Home Study Orientation. It was good to get that out of the way and we were able to hand in 98% of our Home Study paperwork which was very exciting.
The weekend of April 20th was move number 1. This was when we moved out of our townhouse and into the garage of the house we were going to buy. Because of the way things worked out on the sale of our townhouse and the subsequent purchase of the single family home, we had four days where we were homeless. The sellers of the single family home were kind enough to allow us to move all of our belongings into the garage on Saturday before we closed on that house. When I say ALL of our stuff I mean, ALL of our stuff.
Thanks to the fantastic Five Franciscans and a few awesome friends, we were able to fit our entire 3 bedroom townhouse into the garage of the single family home. I was astonished and, in fact, I had a total of 5 more garages lined up just in case we needed additional space for storage.
After moving out we spent a week being homeless but living in luxury with my parents. They were gracious enough to allow the four of us to invade their quiet tranquility for the entire week and feed us on top of it. On April 27th we were able to move out of the garage and into our NEW home.
We have been in the house for just a week now and constantly feel so blessed. It is definitely more space than we need right now but, hopefully, soon God will bring new family members into our home to fill it up.
