Home >> a very, very, very fine house
March 31, 2009
Well, our house is officially on the market. Click HERE for a visual tour. Now that it’s all put together, it’s time to go….
On another note, we are very excited about all the new students coming this weekend. We have 6 coming and possibly another 2 transferring. This is the goal that we have worked so hard toward—building an international community. I finally feel like we’re on the verge of why we are here…to be continued. We have a ton of work to do. Yesterday we had a shipment of 5 couches and 4 chairs coming in the back. Meanwhile the front door was buzzing with 200 pounds of linens. Then we went and rented a big van to shuttle students and later a truck arrived with 22 pieces of bedroom furniture: beds, desks, and chairs. In 2 weeks we will host 14 more international agents, so we’ll have a completely full house for a few days. I love it!
In our kitchen is a map of the world. Miika gets a daily geography lesson as we tell her where everyone is from. She’s also learning a lot of responsibility as my little helper, watching Nathan while I dash out to do this or that. I thank God for my mom who comes 3 days a week to entertain the kids and keep them from turning into complete couch potatoes while Paul and I buzz around on this wild adventure.
