Moving Day!

After almost three months of living at the Windmill, moving day came!! It didn't really feel like we'd ever get in at times, but in His timing, we made it. :) It was one exciting day to walk into the house, clean it up, and unpack our clothes, our wedding gifts, and items I hadn't seen for 7 months or more.... Our living room with boxes... We right away put Grandpa and Grandpma Jost's china cupboard in place, and I found one of my dishes from our set to set on it....couldn't believe that we were moving in....tears of joy!
Us in our new home. :)
We had some awesome help that day cleaning out the kitchen cupboards, the fridge that needed some major TLC, and hauling boxes up and down: The Eastons' - friends from our church came over in the afternoon, and really blessed us, and brought us supper. :) This is Rhonda (the mom) and her eldest, Morgan. They work at Circle Square Ranch which is nearby. The other three children did a lot of work, but I just didn't get a picture of them...they are all sweethearts and I appreciate them a lot.
After the Eastons left, and after the yummy supper with Ian (our landlord) Rob, and another guy Shayne, the guys set to work to get our queen box spring up the stairwell....it turned into a few hour ordeal, as they removed the top tread of the stairs, cut into the wood/drywall at the top.....and push and shoved...and after the dust had fallen onto our clean walls....they made it up. :) And a few minutes later, Henry (brother)called to say that William had a split queen box spring that is made to go up small areas....what you know after.... :) But the guys did such a great job and stuck to it, and I'm so thankful we have it upstairs - maybe to stay upstairs...
Unpacking....it's like Christmas! Such fun to be in our home, and rejoice in God's continued faithfulness together.
"As for me and my house...we will serve the LORD."
