"Happy Anniversary....lalalalala la lalala"

One thing I didn't mention about the weekend is we spent it house hunting. Not to buy because the property cost out here are sick. So we were looking for something newer, modern, reasonable and something to rent better suited for our family. We found a nice big home in Naramata which in Saskatoon the distance is comparable driving from lakeview to silversprings. It doesn't feel like we actually leave Penticton. It's a small little hamlet stuck right in the middle of orchards. This house has small kitchenette and living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom, living room and laundry area on the main floor and upstairs it has a big oak kitchen, dining room, living room w/ gas fireplace, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, double car garage and central air and a gigantic grassy back yard. The house itself was built 8 years ago so it's still nice and new. We were up against 7 other families and ours was the lucky one picked. We're so excited. The news came last night on our actual anniversary date which was even cooler because we weren't supposed to find out until Tuesday night. This house is totally worth all the stresses that come with moving too. It's just so nice and it's right by the town school for Emily and closer to the beach than we are in Penticton we can actually just walk down to the beach from where our new house will be. We need to move before the baby comes which is soon. The baby is supposed to be here probably mid August when they remove my stitch so we gotta get packing. And the moving expenses is something we would like to make invisible but we prayed about this house a lot and asked for God to take it in his hands and if it was meant for us then by his will it will be done if not then to lead us in the proper direction or somewhere else. Well by God's will we got the house so I'm sure everything else he will help fall into place as well. Anyhoo I need some breakfast and I got tons of phone calls and planning to make not to mention the doctors appointments and Emily's reading program today. But here are two pictures of the outside of the house. We're going down this weekend to give the landlord the damage deposit and we'll take more pictures of what the inside will look like.
This is a side view of the front of the house of course 730 Wiseman Place in Naramata, BC This is a back view of the house. Right now the landlords are fixing the grass to make it green and deweeding it to get ready for our move in date. So we'll have a nice backyard. Unfortunately the people that rented it before would never water the lawn and that's what happens to unloved grass.

This is the big backyard.....again it doesn' t look that appealing right now. The landlord just hired someone to go in this week and start tending to the grass. At the very back is a fire pit...ooooohh roasted marshmallows. Along the fence are fruit trees. The landlord said anything that hangs on our side we can pick...especially because they used to be his fruit trees but the tenants of the place didn't like the fruit and never watered the trees so he dug them up and gave them to the neighbours...but they are kind with the fruit and share....oh yum yum.

Well there you have it.. I'll post the pics of the inside this weekend. Keep us in your prayers for everything to fall into place for the move and especially that the baby decides to wait to come out until after we move. Emily is so excited about moving she cried. Carter well his health is getting bad again, his acid reflux has flared up so if you could pray for that as well. Thank you thank you. Our move date is August 1st only a couple weeks away.
