Our new home...

Well, we did it. We bought a house. It has been a LONG process...we haggled over price, had an inspection, and then haggled again. But alas, it is settled. We will become the proud owners of a home once again on June 7th. We are very excited. The house is great, and it has even greater potential. According to Jack, he loves the house because the backyard is bigger than the one we have now! The couple selling the house is older, and have lived there since 1948! It is really clean and has great space. The only negative thing is that because they have lived there so long and are older, there is much that needs updating. However, most of the immediate stuff is only cosmetic things like paint and such. We are excited for the work ahead of us. I will hopefully take lots of before and after pictures and post them here so you all can see the change. Enjoy the pictures that follow...

Great photos of Eugene fun...who says it rains all the time in Oregon! We love the house...what a yard; does the fire pit work? How fun! I know there will be church gatherings at the Parkers around the firepit. Mom
