So God

After 3 years of renting, we're finally getting a house. We close this week and will be moving next weekend. Yessssss.

We moved to Virginia Beach right at the peak of the housing bubble. We had lived in Ohio for 13 years and owned 3 houses there, not all at the same time, but sold when we moved to Australia for 2 years. So we came to a more expensive area and to extreme sticker shock.

we knew we would rent for a while, until we learned the area. we just weren't ready for even the rental prices and didn't think we'd rent for 3 years. we were blessed to find a townhouse with a garage for storage and a great landlord who was responsive and even took care of stuff we didn't ask about.

But here we are. Packing, cleaning, sorting, Goodwilling. it's always good to go thru your stuff, we just have a lot more with 5 of us in the house.

i'll post more about the move and settling in later. I'm just amazed at God's timing. at the height of a freaky market and housing stuff, He works out an amazing deal on a great house in a great neighborhood. So God.
