More Good News

Well, God is definitely taking care of everything. We got a call from our realtor tonight and the buyer is asking for NO repairs. There were some minor things that they could have asked us to repair, but they are taking the house as is!! I am continuing to trust and feel so blessed right now! We are moving on August 29, but don't yet have a closing date. We found a duplex in Grandville that we couldn't pass up so we decided to go for it. We are trusting that God will take care of the rest and provide what we need, even if it's not what we want! God is good ALL THE TIME!!! Thanks for all of your prayers :) I will continue to keep you posted!

Camping at Gun Lake

Last week Thursday and Friday, the boys and I went camping at Gun Lake! Brett was off on a golf trip for the weekend and Bamma Shelley (Brett's mom) was camping in a trailer out at Gun Lake. We planned on staying a few nights, but decided to come home Friday when there were rain and storms predicted. Turns out we made a good choice since there was A LOT of rain overnight and during the day on Saturday. We had so much fun camping and hope to do it again!! Thank you Bamma Shelley for being our hostess :)

Brady enjoyed his first sea doo ride with his "pal" (Brady's word) Andrew. This was the son of a family friend and he was SO sweet with Brady!

Jackson was a goof (as always) and he learned a new word while we were camping. "Uh-oh" is now heard many times a day at our house! It's very cute - I'll try to get a video up for everyone!

Brady also had his first tubing experience - it was a pretty slow ride, but he's getting more and more confident in the water. He absolutely LOVED tubing with his pal Andrew!

And Brady always had to wear his "cowboy" hat...which I think of as more of an old man hat on him :) How silly is he?

Soon to be Grandville Residents

Well, it's official...we are moving to Grandville on August 29...that's two weeks from tomorrow!! I am very overwhelmed right now as we have LOTS of packing to do, a garage sale to have, and a house to close on in Kalamazoo, but I know that God will take care of all the details. I think I'm finally starting to figure out the lesson in all of this - dependence and trust in/on God. I need to let go and I'm still working on it, but every day I feel more at peace with our situation.

We have decided that we will move whether or not this contract goes through. So far, we haven't heard anything back from inspections (they were on Tuesday) and I don't really know if that's normal or not. If I understand correctly, the buyer has until Sunday to make a new offer/ask for changes and after that we will have the appraisal. I don't anticipate any problems with appraisal since our house appraised for $35,000 more a year ago, but our realtor says you never know what can happen!!

Regardless, we are moving in two weeks...let me know if you're available to help - this is going to be a big move!! We love you all and thank you for your continued prayer and support - I will try to remember to keep blogging!! I know I've been slacking lately, but I'm just enjoying my time with the boys and trying to get things ready for our move and for the start of school!
