Pack 'Em Up & Move 'Em Out!

Yup, that's right.  It's MOVING DAY!!!

We've found a new house to rent and are incredibly excited to move in over the weekend.  It's only a mile south of where we currently live in Tijuana and we can't wait to make it our home.
Our new home

Of course, that's basically an impossible task, being that we got the keys to the new house today and have a total of four cardboard boxes accumulated to pack and store an entire house-FULL stuff.  Should be interesting!

It was definitely one of those 'there-is-no-way-this-will-work-out-unless-God-does-a-miracle' deals.  The minute we walked into the house we both knew that it was 'the one.'  And then we saw the rental price.

Yikes.

So we prayed.  And prayed.  And prayed some more.  And offered the price that we felt we should offer.

And were...

So we prayed again. And prayed some more.  And offered a new price, not much higher than what we originally offered, and waited to be denied again.

BUT...

God did a miracle and we got the house.

These two keys mean it's for REAL!
So if you're in the area any time soon, we've got a place for you to stay.  And if you're in the area, say, Saturday or Sunday, we should could use a few helping hands as we pack 'em up and move 'em out.

Congrats! I grew up military and moved a lot, but I still love the feeling of moving into a new home. God Bless your family. Just like what we say to the families in the YWAM houses, "It's your job to make this new house a HOME."

Rob - yes, Changa gets her own room. Heck, she could have her own FLOOR if she wants!

Misti - COME VISIT!!! We will kick Changa out of the room so you can have it.

So happy for you. I wish my boys were home from college, they would help you move. I hope it goes well for you. So glad your family has this place, still close to the base, and a place to call home, with room for changa and Hunter and>>>>?? more to come.

Hey we got a new puppy. Now we are done with kids so we added "Russell" a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. He is a great addition to our family. Changa was the inspiration. (and he doesnt shed, yeah)
Enjoy your new home!
