Praise & Picture

Since most people like pictures with posts, I am adding this picture, although it has nothing to do with the 'praise'. This picture was taken back in January at Matt and Kelly's wedding... 

Now on to the PRAISE! We have an official taker for our apartment! There is a lady who is interested and the landlord approved her. They did the paperwork last week, signed the contract, and paid the deposit... which means, she'll be moving in a week or so and we'll be off the hook!! =) Praise the Lord for a new tenant for our apartment! Now we can put it behind us and enjoy our much bigger, nicer, and quieter home! 

While my parents were in town, we cleaned our apartment for the last time. Although the apartment wasn't anything fancy, it was still bitter-sweet walking out that door, knowing it could be the last time. God has blessed us with a much better place, yet memories were made in our first Texas home so it's somewhat sad saying 'good-bye.' Brode learned how to sit up, crawl, pull himself up, and begin walking there... Andrew and I had late nights of T.V., game nights with friends, or just talking... I know we'll make more memories in our new home, but - for me - it's always sad finishing a chapter in our lives. Because our lives have led to such adventure, we've closed many chapters - some more difficult than others. On a positive note, each closed chapter has led to a new beginning. What has been one of the hardest changes in YOUR life? If willing, please share... =)
