Home Again Home Again!

First off, I want to apologize for falling off of the blogging band wagon since leaving Fiji…and let you know that I will probably be off of it until we are settled into our new home and have internet installed.

You are probably wondering just how our house hunting is going, and I am pleased to report that today we found a great house! Tomorrow we will make it all official with the paperwork. Today has been an amazing day! You know some days you wake up and just know that God is on the move; well that was how today was. We woke up early, climbed the Mount as we talked to the Lord, and then headed to Starbucks to use their internet to look for newly listed rentals (believe it or not we managed to stay away from their addicting coffee). After having a nice little divine appointment with a full on Christian man, Josh suddenly looked at me (while I was talking to NZ immigration) and said, “I think we found our house”. After about 5 talks with the owner, a drive by, and then a walk through, we are pleased to announce the frantic house hunting project has come to a close! The house is perfect for us, looks surprisingly American, is under a year old, has walk in closets, is in a great central neighborhood, and is right next to a greenbelt so we can stay fit for free (gyms are way too expensive in this country). What can we say besides it is awesome!

We will move in on December 24th and are negotiating being able to put all our stuff in the garage on the 22nd when we have to move it out of our present apartment. So, yeah that is our prayer point for tonight. It would not be fun to have to move it all twice in three days. Now we just have to find and buy the basic furniture we need, like a refrigerator and a couch.

Thanks so much for praying for us in our housing search. We are so happy with the house and will put pictures up after we move in and get a bit settled.
