This past week/weekend has been very busy and exciting for Charlie & I. On Wednesday evening we met with the owner of the acreage we have been looking at purchasing. We had a nice chat with each other, agreed on a purchase price & signed a contract! We are very excited and looking forward to moving as soon as our house in town sells.
On Friday, my parents, Charlie's mom, Jasmyn, and my friend Bethany all came over and helped us get the inside of our house ready to sell. We touched up paint in the house, put up remaining trim, painted two doors, and did some cleaning.
Then on Saturday, we had quite the crew come over and help us paint the exterior of our house: My parents, Charlie's parents, Kasondra & Jeff, Kelsie, Jasmyn, Jamaica, Ryan, Jacob, and our friends Josh & Jennifer! We had a great time working together, and boy did we get a lot done. From scrapping paint off the garage, to spraying the house, to brushing the trim, to spraying the gutters, and other misc. jobs we had a very busy day. Anyways, I'll quit jibber jabbering and get to the fun part...the PICTURES!!! Oh and by the way if you happen to know someone who may be looking to purchase a home in Sioux Center, our house is now FOR SALE!
