Preparing for Another Adventure

What a blessed, wonderful year in Tennessee we've had! 
God has graciously answered so many prayers 
and given us sweet fellowship in huge doses all along the way. 
We have so loved our time here and the dear friends who 
have made us feel right at home.

Today we are moving out. 
And moving into our bus. For the next 9 months. :)

We praise the Lord for the chance to serve Him
 and work together as a family. 
We praise the Lord that the film is DONE!
     
Thought y'all might like to see some of the changes we made
 to fit our tribe of 11 in here a bit more gracefully. 
Assuming that's possible. Ha!

Carver bravely attacked the purple carpet from 1995. 
It's the same age as our Carolina. :)
Tile went next. No, we did not save it to make Pinterest mosaics!
Incredibly kind friends from church gave us a lesson on 
subfloors after a chiseling party.
Is it obvious who was NOT doing the chiseling??!
Also found a nifty stash of wires to everything we don't use!
Carver masterfully sorted them out 
and got to several that work.
Better, better, better! 
Wahoo! Floor is in! Sofas are in! We have DRAWERS now, too! 
Praise the Lord! More on our lovely packing moments soon...
