We are still waiting to hear about the rental house we applied for... BUT.... we found another rental house that was even a little cheaper and now we want that one (and we applied for it too - first ones to apply). So between either of these homes, we are pretty sure we will be moving. So sure, in fact, that we dropped off our 30 day notice to our current landlords. SO... either way, we will be out of here. I am already starting to enjoy every moment in this gorgeous dream home that is nestled back in the trees and has the vaulted ceilings and a wonderful Master Bedroom, bathroom with soaker tub, a huge kitchen with tons of cabinets, etc. And we will move to a home with only 1/2 the square footage, no vaults, with a tiny little kitchen, one less bathroom, and no back yard... BUT we will love it because it gives us a chance to SIMPLIFY, Be CLOSER as a family, and it's only TEMPORARY until we do BUY our "Dream" home!
I have been thinking a lot lately of the song by Carrie Underwood called "Temporary Home". Seems fitting somewhat. Change can be terrifying as well as exciting, and yesterday, after the initial excitement, I did have a "freak out" time where I panicked and thought "What are we doing? This is crazy?"... but I am back to full faith right now. LIFE IS GOOD.
We are still making our Lifestyle change... We are still sticking to plan... We are going to Keep Moving Forward and hope that a little sacrifice now will lead us to greater blessings in the future. Sending positive thoughts to all those reading this who may be struggling with your own battles. God bless!!

Sounds like things are really lining up for you guys. I'm happy for you. :-)
First congratulations to both of you on another great week :)
I'm so happy to hear that you'll be able to move!
Congrats on another great weight loss!!
Pray that God will clear the way for you to be in the house He has planned for you. And let's not forget, although sometimes our homes here on earth aren't exactly what we want, we will someday have a mantion in heaven!!
Have another great week!!

WE moved from a 3 bed home w/an attic, attached garage and back yard to our lil' apt...2 bed, no attick, no garage and no back yard.
You know-I recently read of a millionair threw himself in front of a moving train - suicide. Why? He had everything money could buy and you know what...it wasn't enough. That is very sad.
WE have all we need Margene. When it's all said and over - we will see how small our material battles really were...now the spiritual, I think that's another story!
Hang tight - you're going to make it. God has a plan and you are right smack in the middle of it!
You always have such a great mindset and positive way of thinking. I just love that. Can you pass some of that my way?
Congrats on the 2 pounds! That is just awesome. You are doing great!
You are getting all your ducks in a row, good for you. Down sizing will be difficult but with the two of you I think life will be perfect once it settles down. I can't wait to read next weeks post when you guys have met your challenge and won. I am so proud to have gotten to "know" you guys. You guys are such an inspriration.
Good luck this week with getting your new place and your wonderful life style changes.
Take care and God Bless!!

So happy that you found a place even though you will miss your current home. Yep this is only OUR TEMPORARY HOME..Life on the other side will be FOREVER!!!!!
I just finished reading your entire blog today and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The pictures make it so interesting. You look great!
