We moved!! We met a family in our church that was moving out of state for a while and asked us to move in and take care of their house while they're gone. Did I mention free of charge?!?! We will just pay utilities. We are so excited and feel so blessed. How this came about was pretty neat...long story short is they'd been praying about what to do because they wanted to take a new job but didn't know what to do about their house. Well, if you know me you know that of course we wonder how in the world we will make it work and is there any way for me to not have to work full-time. Well I was visiting teaching this lady one day and telling her my woes (I got that ability to tell my troubles to near strangers at the drop of a hat from my mother) and she knew right then her prayers had been answered. She asked us to move in (coincidentally right at the exact time our contract in our apartment was up) and we said yes!! So here we are in our new house. Some perks of this new house that we have never enjoyed before include:
-no rent
-3 bathrooms
-dishwasher
-2 car garage
-huge backyard
-3 bedrooms
-dining room
-at the end of a cultisac (sp) so no traffic or noise
-fireplace (although we aren't allowed to use it for insurance purposes)
-semi-finished basement
-no computer desk in the living room!
and the list goes on!!
Here are some pictures of the new place:

The house from the outside.
The backyard
The kitchen
The dining room (which needs a little tlc in the decorating department!)
living room and fireplace
The basement aka dustin's music room
So we're super excited about this new adventure. We will be living here anywhere from 6 months to a year and a half. (of course we're hoping to stay until dustin graduates in a year and a half) I am going to work part-time starting in a few weeks so that means more time home with Kate!
*And just as a side note...we're not sending out Christmas cards this year so don't be offended if you don't get one since no one is!!
