big news: we bought a house

I've been mentioning it a little bit here and there but I feel like I couldn't really say until it was official..  we found a house, bought it and just got the keys last week! This exciting time came in the midst of a tragic thing that happened this past weekend. So I'm taking it to heart and praying that this home can be used the way that our friends used theirs: open, for others and for the Lord to work in it.  As well as knowing that this house does not define me, the way I decorate does not define me and "perfection" in it does not define me. It's God's house, it's His to use.
