Let me introduce myself...

Has it been awhile? Time flies when you're house hunting and starting a new business.

The thing that has most occupied my thoughts and prayers (and stolen hours of my sleep) over the last weeks of my blogging void has been house hunting. No, the house in Kansas has not yet officially sold (please keep praying), but due to God's grace and loving family, we were able to start looking for a home of our own even while we wait upon the one we're selling to close.

We found a great deal on a foreclosure in a wonderful neighborhood with great schools. The closing will be at the end of Feb., and then we can get in there and paint, replace carpet, etc. It has four bedrooms - Abby can't wait; she's been sharing with a very chatty Grace the whole time we've been here- a great layout, and great space for our whole family. It also happens to be really close to our wonderful family and business partners (Brian and Melanie). The neighborhood has a lovely pool and three great parks within walking distance, several jogging/bike paths, three big ponds with catch and release fishing... More to come with pictures once we actually close.

Tomorrow we are taking the girls to spend several days with grandparents, so Greg and I can spend some much needed time together and spend some much needed time preparing for home move-in projects and preparing to function as a coffee roasterie in our lease space.

Lots of excitement and stresses... Can't wait to sink roots down!

Enjoy your week with Greg. We all got back here safe & sound and the girls are in bed after enjoying some quiet & not so quiet time with Grandpa & Uncle Paul & the nerf guns & computers. Abby is doing her best to fill in for you. She reprimanded me for giving Grace a (smallish) chocolate valentine heart after (gasp) she'd already had a frosty at Wendy's!

So I think we might actually be in the same metroplex area. Any possibility that we could connect??? (This is Kym A., not some weird stalker-person....I promise) :).
