We bought a house! We are super excited and blessed! Last month Tyler and I closed on a fixer-uper on 2 acres of land about 3 miles from Tyler's family and his work. The Lord opened the door at just the right time and we got an amazing deal. With a bit of work we hope to restore this brick house into an updated and fresh new home. The goal is to have me move in before the wedding in September, so we have a lot of work ahead of us. We have started cleaning up the grounds this week, which gave Tyler the chance to break in his new chainsaw...boys and their toys. He cleared out some dead trees and trimmed limbs. He cut, I hauled.
Wedding plans continue to take up much of my time and thought. Things are coming along though. In fact, I just picked up our invitations today from the printer! So as the time draws near we keep plugging away at work, ministry, house plans, and life. Tyler is playing on the church softball team again this year, and I am the official score keeper. I even made my very own team shirt.
We are very busy this season, but having a ball. Hope you are all doing great and are enjoying life! Here are some "before" pictures of the house. Enjoy!
