A home in Decorah

As many of you know, Allen and I traveled up to Decorah, Iowa this past week in search of a new home and a school for Caroline.  Let me just say that God provided in ways we could not have dreamed.   The home that we have a contract on came on the market while we were in town.  We were the first one's to see it, because the listing agent was in the same firm as our realtor.

If you want to read the whole story, hop over to my other blog "It All Boils Down to Faith."  There, I detail just how perfectly God has provided!

This house was built in the 1880s and is truly Victorian.  I have always wanted to live in a Victorian style house.  This one is fully updated--it even has central heat and air!  For this home grown Texan, that was good news!  It is also a short walk from downtown and from a fabulous park!

Here are some pictures of the house and the neighborhood park.

We are so excited about our new hometown!  The median age of Decorah is 31!  There are lots of young families with children, and we have already met several people that we would love to build friendships with.

Please be in prayer for us:

1)  To find a new church home and a body in which to serve
2)  To find a moving company that will be reasonable financially
3)  As we begin our goodbyes
