1304 Candlewick Road


Contrary to popular belief, Erik and I will NOT be homeless as of February 27th! We found this most awesome house last week, our offer was accepted, and it has passed inspection (a very rigorous one, I might add). Praise be to God. It's so obvious He didn't want us in that other house. Our prayer is that this be God's house. May he use it for his Kingdom, and may we always remember we are merely the caretakers.

We won't be able to move in until the middle of March, so you can find us at the "Bryant Hotel" starting Feb. 27th. Bill and Kathy Bryant are dear friends from church who so graciously allow people in transition to stay in their wicked awesome basement! Thank you all so much for praying for us during this process. Check out more photos of the house by clicking the picture (it will take you to our flickr site).

Here Comes Debbie Downer

Well, after the home inspection, we have decided to walk away from the deal on the house below. I guess I got a little over-excited when we had gotten the contract signed and wanted to tell everyone about it. Turns out, the house had some termite damage, standing water on the roof and structural damage in the garage, just to name a few problems.

We hate that we're back at square one, but stand confident that God has a much better plan for us, even if we have to be homeless for a while (we're still selling our condo and the closing is set for the 27th of this month). He is faithful and has always provided for us in abundance. Please pray that everything will work out smooth over these next few weeks and that God will guide us in our decisions on where He wants us.

If you're unfamiliar with Debbie Downer, get a clue!! Actually, it's a SNL skit played by Rachel Dratch. Check out one of the skits here.

There's No Place Like Home

Sonya and I thought we'd take advantage of this buyer's market that we're in and buy a house. We listed our condo a week ago and it sold in 4 days. 4 DAYS!! I just have to say that Cherie and Amanda at Cornerstone (our real estate agents) know what they're doing. We're closing on our condo on the 27th of this month.


Good-bye little condo, we'll miss you!
