On Wednesday, around 4:00 in the afternoon, the deed for our old house transferred to the new owners. After 2 years, 11 months, and 2 weeks, we became a one-house household again. I will post soon about the lessons I learned over the last three years (God had to use a fairly big spiritual two-by-four on me), as well as the tons and tons and tons of blessings we received. It has not fully sunk in yet, but I am taking Mer out tonight (Friday) to celebrate. Many thanks to family and friends who wished us well and prayed for us and showered us with support for three years.
(Oddly, it turns out that this is the best picture I have of the house. I guess I never took pictures of it.)
That’s a really nice window in the picture. Looks like a window that opens nice and easy!
The Riordan-household-improvement plan. 🙂
Did you ever follow up on the lessons part of this post?
Not yet – I need to unearth some of Meredith’s calendars that are buried in the basement. They recorded all the things we did over the last three years (even more than were blogged about), and I want to give real-life examples of God’s blessing to us. The summer has been busy enough that our goal of cleaning out the basement has not happened yet.
Funny – I was just thinking about this project last night.
