We are moving

If all goes well, we will be moving soon. We were not looking at homes or looking to move, but a realtor friend found an amazing deal/investment and called us knowing that we would soon be a family of 9. It is a foreclosure that we are buying for much less than 1/2 of what it sold for in 2007. It has larger and more bedrooms and more land. The garage will also fit a big 15 passenger van which we will need soon and our current garage would not. It is about 15 minutes further out, thus the great price. We actually were one of 4 bidders the first week and we did not get it, but then 3 days later they called us back because the buyer fell through and then we got it for even less $. That was great, but the timing is also great. If it had been 1 month earlier, we would have been going crazy with adoption paperwork. Now we are just waiting and it will actually be a great blessing to be all moved in and ready by the time the boys come home. I sure would not want to be moving with 2 new little boys either.

So now, on top of birthdays, baseball, swimming (yes the kids have been swimming every day for about 1 week) and church activities, we are doing loan paperwork, inspections, packing, fixing, planning and trying to show the house to possible renters. Soon we will be painting, unpacking, decorating and landscaping. April and May will be a little crazy, so I doubt I will be able to post much the next couple of months.
