We found out earlier this week that our rental agency has secured a 12 month lease for our house in VA. This is what we have been waiting and praying for. Having a renter or buyer for the house in VA is the cornerstone on which all of our plans for our future rely upon. We had always believed that it would work out the way God has planned. And we had always believed that it was God's plan for our family to move here. So having this very important piece in place feels like a confirmation that we are where God wants us to be.It is also a confirmation to all of us that we will not live here, in this house, with my sister's family, forever.
One day, probably sometime in July, we will get to move into our new house and my sister and her family will get the whole of their house back. The house that we keep driving by and "checking on" will one day be our home. It will have the tile and carpeting that we have picked out. It will have our kitties. It will be in a neighborhood filled with kids around the same age as our kids. And it will have all of the stuff that is currently housed in 3 jam packed storage units...our stuff, stuff that the kids keep asking for, or we keep wishing we had. Erin's family will get their guest room, Lego room, and J's room back. And they will get some peace and quiet back.
There will be things we will miss about living together too. But that is another post. Right now we are rejoicing in the path that is becoming clearer.
