Kentucky, Here We Come!

So, my hubby's match was last Thursday. Drumroll, please! We're headed to Lexington, Kentucky! We're pretty excited about this, but a little nervous too. Let me fill you in on what we've been up to this past week:

*We've told family and friends we're leaving.

*We've been gathering boxes, boxes, everywhere. I discovered that if you roam Wal-Mart around 10pm, there are mountains of empty boxes just waiting to be taken. That greatly pleases this frugalista. I LOVE free stuff!

*We've been pre-approved for a home loan (and will be doing the bulk of our banking with the same bank). We've decided to take the plunge and buy. There are about 10 houses in our price range that we really like. We'll go look at them in the near future and write out a contract.

*We've selected a realtor. She seems to be quite nice.

*I've applied to the district in Lexington for a teaching position. Yes, I was coerced.

*I've packed five boxes. I'm doing two per night (I know the math on that doesn't quite add up). My hubby has two days of work left, then he's free as a bird for the next two months. He's going to be house-packer extraordinaire!

*We've done more, but my mind is old, tired, and slipping. More will follow on this topic shortly--not my old brain, moving stuff.

*Everything is falling into place perfectly (see lingering thought).

Lingering thought of the day: God always provides exactly what we need--whatever that may be. Whether we realize it or not, all things happen for a reason. We are so, so blessed!
