So... we struck out on our first try.....

So last night we finally ventured into the world of looking at houses. We love our realtor! She is one of the nicest people out there. She really educated us on our first night out. It was very cold, educational, and humorous at times. Many of the houses we looked at had been on the market a while, and thus didn't have electricity. Therefore when it's 20 degrees outside, we were lucky if it was 30 degrees inside. One house, I was actually afraid to breathe in!! There were two houses that were more promising.... but they seemed like "lifers." Ya know, the kind that ya buy with the intention to live in forever. Not that it's a bad idea.... we were just thinking small, quaint, but more an extension of our apartment.... bigger, more room.... and something to show for our money. We've decided we don't need to have a living room & family room... and dining room..... we don't have the furniture to furnish all of those. Then it dawned on me.... I remembered back to my cousin's 1st house. It was small, but nice... and just what we're looking for! It had a "great room" which included their living room, kitchen and eating area... and then it at 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.... an attached garage.... and someplace to do laundry (I can't remember where that was right now). So.... if you see something like this, and live in our neck of the woods... please let Jeremy or myself know. We'd like to check it out!

Anyway, that's the update for now!!

Oh wait, one more. Tricia & baby Gwyn are doing well. Gwyn is getting bigger. Her daddy got to hold her for the first time this week. It was a cool video to watch. Had Jeremy not been sitting next to me, I probably would have shed a tear or two. Tricia is doing pretty well.. she's very weak... and needs some prayers... but as a whole she is doing pretty well. Again, if you haven't, check out their story..... http://www.confessionsofacfhusband.com (Yes this is a new website...but links directly to the other site.) Keep praying for them. God is working in their lives and it's soooo cool to watch!

Have fun everyone!
