Now we're all feeling sad about having to move out of our house. Because it is our house. The only house we've ever bought. We painted it and put in a new kitchen. Andrew built a room underneath. We've had happy times here. The end of an era.
The agent comes tomorrow to take photos.
Hey Simone,
ReplyDeleteJust looked at the house you bought - how fantastic! That deck is worth every bit of the hassle. It looks like a great house, great location, and if the puritan in you needs any further justification, "great for ministry".
I don't think you will regret it one little bit. Well done, I say.
Cath - renting, not buying! Couldn't buy that house on a minister's salary. But thanks.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

ReplyDeletePretend it's a new project!
Good news if not glad news. Now to relocate the locus / focus of prayer...
We couldn't afford to rent it! I expect that you will be able to based on the rent you get on your house.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you can take some time to make the move - use it to make sure you only take the stuff that's important to you and sell or give away the rest - nothing worse than packing everything and then, at the other end, wondering why you paid to have something moved.
Wow, heady days! That's exciting news Simone. I definitely get the sadness at it being the end of an era. But I'm sure this will be the start to a gtreat new area. Lots of good times ahead.
ReplyDeleteFocus on that sweet bay window.
Wow, I wouldn't mind being able to move only 4 km. And you don't really lose the house, it is still yours, even if you aren't living there. Don't be sad; you don't have to change schools, church or friends (or countries).
