This is our sweet little home.  Aaron has been here for about 24 years.  I have lived here for the past 16 years...minus 10 months but that is a whole other story for another day.  We decided to see what would happen if we put the house on the market and started planning for a new life adventure.  The sign went up on August 21st and within 72 hours we had 13 showings and our first offer.  Needless to say we were not quite ready for things to get rolling THAT fast but we decided to hang on for the ride and see where the Lord wanted to take us.  On August 27th the first offer fell through.  We were disappointed but it was considerably lower than our asking price so we were hoping for a better offer...which we received first thing the following morning...a FULL price offer.  So on August 28th we went under contract.  ONE week after putting the house on the market.  Have I mentioned we were not expecting things to happen quite so quickly?  Here we are two and a half weeks later, inspection done and appraisal this week.  What are our plans you ask?  What a great question!  We aren't sure!!!  The idea is that we want to change our lifestyle.  Spend some time on the road with the boys using the world as our classroom.  We have just finished up studying the Revolutionary War and the signing of the Constitution.  What an amazing time to hit the road and explore the country and make history come alive!  I am so excited to see what the Lord has planned for us!

Please join us in prayer as we continue to seek his counsel and guidance over the next couple of weeks.  Aaron has given notice at work and is searching for a job that will allow us the freedom of travel.  Blessings ~ Jenn and the Boys!

Wow, that is a lot to undertake! I hope that your travels are safe and full of adventure.

And I thought you two were crazy for living in a 5th wheel outside GNP! This definitely tops that one. :)

Good luck and God Bless!
