Hooray for photos!

Well, here it is. Our new house.

Want more pictures?

Unpacking (New House)

P.S. I got to meet one of the neighbors. Nice people I suppose.

Oh, and I mowed the lawn. It only took me a little over an hour to mow with a push mower. And then 10mins to trim. Not to shabby.

housing woes…

Ughh…Well we got all our stuff moved to the new house. Now we’re just going through the process of unpacking and organizing. And let me tell you, I don’t know if moving is like this for everyone but moving is a patience tester. Wooowee, Amy and I’s nerves were really tested with each other through this process. But all is well, we’re just worn out and stressed….But we’re doing great!! The new house is pretty sweet. I don’t know if all of Blue Springs is like this but the area around our house is pretty. Lots of trees and fields. Not to mention that a mega Wal-Mart and a Home Depot is 3 mins away. Oh and Hy-Vee is 2 mins away. Basically we don’t have any reason to leave a 3 mile radius except when we go to work. Oh man there is an excellent running path a stone’s throw from our back yard (yes I said a stone’s throw). Sorry, no pictures for now, I left my camera in my sister’s car. Cara, give me my camera back!

Props to these people for helping. Oh man, we’d still be living in the old house if these people didn’t help. We are very gracious that God has blessed us with spectacular friends/family.

Prayer Request:
- My Mom, she’s not been feeling very well at all.
- Also, please pray that our old house sells. I don’t want my Mom having to deal with the payments.

Recent albums purchased:
John Mayer - Continuum
The Mars Volta - Amputechture (There’s a 16min track which is amazing!! You probably wouldn’t like it)

prayer

Amy’s best friend, Angie (pictured above, middle) was hospitalized today for having seizers. There is no need for more details to be shared at this time. So I beg you to please, please, please pray for healing. I believe God has so much in store for Angie. We love you Angie.

the farmers life for me

Amy and I found a house!! Sorry only one picture for now. And yes, that F250 King Ranch will fit in the garage. And NO it does not come with the house (I wouldn’t want it anyway). So pending something major coming up with the inspection, this is it. Amy and I are really excited about how God is going to use this house for His benifit. It’s in Blue Springs, MO. [Adam, you'll be happy about this because now you'll not be the only one getting hassled by James about living all the way out in Columbia.]

I know what you’re thinking. Ok Scott I thought church location was a big determining factor when it came to your house location. Well, um, yeah that part of our lives is still a mess. But get this, just down the street is a fairly big church that has an excellent music ministry. They allow bands to come in and play on they’re sweet stage. That’d be cool for me to get involved in. I’ve only been to one show there, and I was pretty impressed.

How much did the house cost? That’s none of your stinkin business. Nosey.

One more thing. The lot that the house is on is a corner lot. And it’s big. The current owner has a riding lawnmower. I asked him how long it takes him to mow. He said if he doesn’t trim, an hour to an 1hr 15min!! All I have is a regular push mower. But I think God’s going to provide us with a pretty sweet deal on a riding mower if we want it.

OH there’s one thing I left out. It has a sweet shed in the backyard. Righteous.
