It's been a while since I've posted anything on my blog because we've been busy bees packing and unpacking our stuff and moving to Kannapolis.
Whew! It feels good to have that finished...
Even though we had movers, my guys proved to be super helpers getting boxes where they needed to be.
We were so incredibly blessed to get our house in Kannapolis, because rental houses are really tough to come by in this area. The house we rented had only been on the market one day, but four people had already come to see it. Thankfully, we were able to get our application for lease into the realtor before anyone else, and we got the lease!
Once the movers were finished, our work really began: unpacking. Moving can be exhausting, but we didn't mind. We were sooooo glad to be in our new home and at our new church!
Even one of our bathrooms was full of boxes for a few days.
However, our biggest challenge wasn't unpacking boxes, but of getting rid of the horrible smell in the house. The lady who lived in the house before us apparently had free-range cats that did not believe in a litter box. After she was gone, the house and the cat smell were locked-up for a year. But thanks to Lysol, Glade Plug-Ins, odor-absorbing-beads, and bleach...I think we've finally made history of those cats.
Thank you to Faith Baptist Church for making such awesome moving arrangements for our family. You guys made moving as easy as moving can be!
And I'm so proud of my kiddos, who handled the move so well. How wonderful it is to have children who joyfully follow the Lord where and when He leads.
It has only been four weeks in Kannapolis, but we love it here! The house is just perfect for our needs, our neighbors are friendly, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and close to everything we need. We're falling in love with our new church, and I'm not sure...but I think I'm starting to feel myself growing roots. God is so good!
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PRAYED US HOME!!!
