We got a HOUSE!

Hey everyone! Today turned out to be a great Monday! We got a house on base! Yippee! Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus! We decided to go with a three bedroom instead of a four bedroom-the neighborhood was nicer and the homes were more newly renovated. We will be a "close" family by all accounts! The Lord has been so gracious to us- always providing everything we need... and we are grateful to Him! The house is located on the corner, very similar to our home in Yuma! It has a beautiful fenced in back yard and there is a playground behind it as well! How cute! A place to call home for awhile!
We're working right now to set up a move-in date. We drove by and looked at it earlier today and it was in such good condition we thought that the Maintenance/Cleaning crews had already been there, but they haven't! That means it was well-taken care of and the people left it very clean! We are waiting to talk to Housing to see if we can get in there before the end of the month, but it will take alot of logistical miracles- we're okay with that! We've learned how to wait!
The girls are both napping and I'm enjoying the peace and quiet!
Chris is training for the Army 10-Miler this October. He also had his physical today and he is healthy! Eyes like eagles, ears like a fence post, no cavities! Yeah! Way to go, Chris!
I'm feeling good- very excited to have a place to call home. Now all we have to do is get in there!
God has been so good to meet our needs at every turn!
Praising Him,
The Abes

Carrie,
Awesome. The house sounds great. I'm so glad to hear about all of the perks. You'll have to send pics. We, too, have 3 bedrooms and also have 3 girls. It's doable! They can all share! Today Mark and I agreed that our two families must go on vacation together in the somewhat near future. Can you imagine--all 6 girls together!? How fun would that be? Let's go somewhere that has Starbucks nearby. :) Congrats on the house.
Love you guys, Jen
