River Road House

Well, we found a new home and will be moving this month! It was fast and furious and definitely fell into out laps but it's perfect and wonderful and I am so excited about it! I will post pictures soon but it's wonderful. It's enormous, much bigger than any home we have lived in so far and we definitely don't have enough furniture to fill it:( It has two living rooms!!!!...we certainly don't have enough sitting furniture to fill 2 living rooms...there are 4 bedrooms, two of which are Master's so there will be an extra room that I am going to totally make into my craft/sewing room! So excited:) The kitchen is awesome and huge, with so many cabinets. My only dislike is the counters are formica and the walls/cabinets are a knotty pine. The house was build in the late '70s so not unexpected but still....it's fine though, we are so excited with it. It is literally .3 miles from work so we plan to ride our bikes everyday!  We are actually on River Road which is a very "old Richmond/old money" road which cracks me up...totally not our scene but we'll make it work. One of our friends commented that we will now need to upgrade to a few Mercedes/BMWs if we are going to hobnob with the best of our neighbors:)

I am usually the last to say that "God is answering our prayers or has been working in our favor" as I have a hard time believing that God cares one bit whether or not we find a new/bigger home when there is a whole world filled with people who pray each day just to survive without being killed/maimed/raped but I believe that God or the Universe or some higher power was definitely guiding us in this direction...everything seemed to work out perfectly for this house and our jobs. I am grateful and blessed, my whole family is. I am thrilled beyond belief at the way our life is working out in Richmond. I still have pangs of sadness when I think out about our life in CO and our friends back there but we are making our way here and each day/year it is getting better and more secure. I am so happy and excited for the future and the direction our lives will take us!!
