July 31st, 2004 Jeff & I moved into our first house. I'm still pretty amazed when I think about our "house story" and how this came to be. We actually found this house prior to our wedding - which was in May of '04. The house was being sold by owner - and God couldn't have had more perfect timing for us. Not only did we find this, our bid was accepted, but we were able to rent it for a few months so we could move out of our apartment (that was originally Jeff's). I only lived in that apartment for 2 months before we had our home - which is funny to think about - considering our original "plan" is that we'd be willing to stay in that apartment for at least 2 years if need be. I could go on & on. The short of it is: God's timing & perfect will are best. It's certainly more than I could have
"...asked or imagined, according to His power, that is at work within us."5 years in this house has brought us: all new windows, new siding, re-did the downstairs bedroom, added a full bath downstairs (originally a 1/2 bath), new sinks, ripped out all the shrubs, Jeff's landscaped...I could go on forever. AND, we've brought both our children home from the hospital to this house.
Home.
Taken a few years back, but virtually the same: our home. We have 5-years of wonderful memories in this house - and hopefully many more to come!

Yours house is beautiful! Like you said related to one of my posts, "It's kinda neat how we connect so many memories to our vehicles, or an apartment, house, etc.!" Thats so true! Someday, that will be the house that your kids bring their kids to! :) Such a weird thought, huh!?
Congratulations on 5 years of home ownership and marriage...a little late :) !!!
You've been very blessed! It will be neat to see how God blesses your family in the years to come!
You've accomplished a lot in the last five years. It's a lot of work but your place looks great!
