Yes, we've actually done it. Of course most of you already know this, but we really, truly bought a house or, perhaps more accurately, a home. It's a major fixer upper, and I have a feeling that this blog is going to spend a lot of time telling all of you how it's going, what our next project is, and the latest "findings".
I'm excited about it because there seems to be nice sized backyard for the girls to play in, and we'll be located in a great school district, which was important to us since we won't be able to send them to a private school. And trust me...I don't think I'm cut out to actually homeschool my own kids. LOL. Kind of weird when you think about it...
So, I figured out how to post pictures of the house, including the "bathroom" 
which is kind of disgusting and will probably be on our priority list but will have to come after: leveling the house, replacing broken windows and doors, installing heat and a/c, fence the yard, then and only then will we work on the bathroom.
Luckily, the inspection came back that the house was mold free as far as the inspector could see. There are always small blessings that God gives us to remind us that we are indeed in His hands.
I have to admit to being sad at leaving good ol' PDX. I'm sad that Kate won't get to celebrate big number 5 with her favorite cousins. I'm sad the Reggie won't be able to see Charlie and the Georgie probably won't remember any of the family that we leave behind. I hold on to the realization that this is God's work and God's direction, and the He is faithful to give us what we need. He honors our commitment to Him and will give us every good thing. I hope that we all see a lot of visitors our way, and maybe even snag a few hearts for the best place on earth.
