We have a new house!!

Well, it has been quite a journey. . .literally. But, once again, God has taken our small faith and showed us just how BIG he really is! Our house here in Orange City sold June 8th. We spent a week looking online at houses in Tennessee and then traveled down there early Father's Day morning. Eleven hundred miles is quite a journey! We've gotten pretty good at doing it in one day, though!
We spent Monday looking at 12 houses, I think we did it in record time! Tuesday we explored around Sevierville & Pigeon Forge (only 40 minutes to Pigeon Forge from our place). Wednesday we went back to look at our top 3 choices, which God sought fit to make only our top 2 because one of them sold on Tuesday! We were able to visit with the owner of our top choice and I guess we made a good impression because she was very easy to deal with after we made our offer! By Wednesday night, around 10 o'clock we had reached an agreement. God is good! All the time!
So, here's some pictures of the new place. Just a few regular details: it has 3 bedrooms, two baths, an attached main floor garage, a shop, a canning kitchen in the basement, a three season room and a very nice backyard with a place for a garden! The perfect house for us! It also has a view of the Appalachian Mountains out the backyard.

So, we now have two bathrooms and a well appointed basement! (Anyone who's been to our house in the last 5 years knows how important that is!) So come on down! We'll be moving in around July 26th and would love to show off our new geographic features!
