journaling-It's official....

We are moving on Wednesday! I wanted to blog something like "55 things I love/dislike Serenity Ln." But alas right now I just don't have time...so here are a few!

Posted by Picasa


love the open space of the 40 acres
love the garage
loved having peeps live with us-7 precious girls and 2 families
love the openness of the floor plan
love that the home is a ranch
love the concrete drive for playtime
love the covered deck
love the large closets
love the sink in the laundry room
love the kitchen island
love that there is an official "play area" inside for the kiddos
love that the computer is in the kitchen area
loved that we had it painted before we moved in
loved that the carpets were cleaned before we moved in
loved that it was a rental
loved that the family we rented from was generous with the farm basement apt
love the close line on the back porch
love watching the parachutists
love seeing the weather/sunsets/sunrises
love the memories
love that we sold a lot of our furniture and don't have to move it
love that Jesus refined us SO SO much while we were out here
love that Jesus was faithful to put us out here when we had no place else to go when our other house fell through 2.5 years ago.
love that our friends now can enjoy the place and be blessed by it so it won't sit empty again
lots of things to love!

a few dislikes
disliked the long drive for Justin each day
disliked not being close to a coffee shop-but Justin's coffee is better anyway :)
disliked the amount of time it took Justin to care for both homes, ie mowing etc
disliked that our cell service didn't work-though At & t is great now
disliked, as silly as it is, there is a lot of wall space in this house so I had a difficult time decorating the walls-silly I know.
disliked that the house sat empty before we moved out here so we need to get the vents/ducts cleaned often for potential mold/grim stuff
disliked that there wasn't a good grocery store in Louisburg, but super walmart now is built-that's been great
disliked that the hospital we needed for Justin and baby delivery was a poke-but glad that folks like with us that could help out!
the dislikes were way fewer then the plethora of loves!

55 Serenity ln...you've been a great house. One that has taught us tons and was a haven for us for a season. What a blessing!

Now on to our new home on Dawnshire rd! Can't Can't Can't wait!
