Our House

Okay, so finally an update on our house. When we arrived in Ontario on Nov. 13th, we couldn't sign on our house like we had hoped. We had to stay in limbo for 2 more days until the final approval was given and we could go to the mortgage co. to sign. But, we finally signed!!!! While at the mortgage co, we got to meet the seller, a beautiful, generous, spirited elderly woman who, along with her husband, was a missionary in Africa for several years. She was delighted her house was being sold to a young, Christian family and Fin had nothing but HUGE smiles for her. She gave us a beautiful blessing in Swahili when she left that I wish I would have had her write down. We single-handedly destroyed an entire forest with all the paperwork we signed, but we were SO happy when it was all finally done. Our realtor, Jessica Greene, was awesome - she was so helpful through the whole process; if you're looking for a realtor in the Boise area, definately call her - she's with Coldwell Bankers Tomlison Group.

Us, signing the papers. If you look closely, you can see Fin smiling at the mortgage officer.

My sisters and brothers-in-law (well, Heath is ALMOST our in-law) helped us unload the U-Haul and move all of our stuff in the following day. Then we went for a quick first grocery run.

Here's me making our first dinner in our new house - the stainless steel appliances are awesome

We've furnished our house with Craigslist furniture, but we did purchase a new, beautiful dining room set. Here's me and Fin with our new dining furniture. The beautiful flowers are a congratulations gift from our realtor
