Sorry everyone, it's been SUPER crazy.
We didn't think we would buy a house for another year or more, but then we looked at houses the day after Christmas and fell in love, and then God made it abundantly clear that this was THE home for us. So we now own a home. Crazy. We had a lot of very fast up and downs (sometimes more than four in a day) and now live on 14 Abbey Road, in East Hampton, CT. Dan is working from home, and Will and I are trying to get settled, though he's teething pretty bad and we both have a tummy bug. We definitely have some projects to do on this house this summer, like a new oil tank, but the major project, an entirely new septic system, was part of our sale, and that was done two days before we bought it, on Monday, the 22nd of February. We moved all of our stuff on the 27th. Moving out of the Beverly Apartment was very difficult, and though it went great, it still took four hours. Unloading in CT was done in less than one, and then we had so many bodies, we sent some home, and others helped us unpack the kitchen and bedroom. It was amazing. God provided for us in ways I couldn't have even thought of- after a week of working on the house, we left on Friday night for Beverly with a long list of things to still do to the house. When I got to the house on Saturday and it was almost completely moved in, with more rooms painted and cleaned than we had done, I was so overwhelmed. We have so many friends here and so much family. As sad as I am to leave MA and our dear friends, it is so wonderful to know that we do have a support system here too. I'm still completely overwhelmed but I figured I needed to update SOMETHING so I can stop getting yelled at..... ;) I'll post more soon.
