It’s CHRISTMAS!!!

Well, it feels like Christmas at least. And I’m like a six year old girl, just loving every second of it. This morning, Sean and I officially purchased our very first house. We signed the papers (many, many papers) and then they gave us the keys! CRAZY! We even have garage-door openers! Putting aside the stress that I feel from needing pack and get our belongings moved into the house, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. We have been incredibly blessed throughout our four years of marriage. Things haven’t always gone as planned, but they have always turned out way better. This house is just another example of how things have fallen into place for us, better than we could have ever imagined for ourselves. The neighborhood, the neighbors, the area, and the house itself are all unbelievably wonderful. We’ve received so much help and support from family, which has made this whole dream a reality, and we are simply thankful. I know that our Heavenly Father is looking down on us and is blessing us way more than we deserve! I’m just so excited!!! I took a bunch of pictures of the house this morning and will post them later today or in a few days. We love you all and hope that you come visit! There is plenty of room for friends and family!

  8. Hello! We found your blog through the comment you left on Josh and Callie's blog--hope you don't mind the "friendly stalking"! : ) Jared and I have wondered where you guys ended up--we lost touch just after the dental school decision. Anyway, glad to see things are going so well for you! (My brother went to OSU School of Optometry).
