House
Things are coming along. This has been such a major project to take on. It is amazing just how long stuff takes! We have had so many friends who have been generous with their time and lent a hand. Without them I don’t know how far we would be.
Still to do before we can move […]

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

We are officially moved OUT! We spent the whole week packing and then literally the whole of today packing, while also cramming in having our broadband and utilities transferred to our new place, ordering a skip (or dumpster for USers), picking up a truck and picking up the largest Uhaul possible.. a humungous 35 footer.

Still Looking

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

Tracie and I will begin round two of house-seeking this afternoon. Round one wasn’t as successful as we hoped. We did see some cool houses, but they just weren’t what we were looking for. We saw a couple that needed a lot of work, one that could have been so cool (see right), but it […]

Homes to look at..

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

Tracie and I once again know for sure that God is moving us on to a new house. It has been difficult to let go of the Johnson st house. Even tonight we were driving around, scoping a number of other listings, my heart sunk as I drove past that house. It was very easy […]
