Both houses are closed, our apartment items are now in our new home, and our furniture and belongings will arrive tomorrow with the mover. Our long wait to be settled is finally coming to an end. Yay! Yay! Yay!! God is soooo good! We are snoopy dancing with praise! The waiting wasn’t enjoyable, however as I look back, it was worth the wild, long journey.

We have awesome news–we close today on our Texas house! Woooooooo hooooo!!! Major praise to God!! We’ve completed the walk-through on our Idaho house, and will close on our new home tomorrow.

Besides being disappointed that we would have to wait longer to move, their request caused several problems. Would our apartment allow us to stay longer? If not, where on earth would we go?
