Renovations!

So here's the short story...we're buying a house that's being renovated.
The long story is so great, though, so that's what I'm going to write about today. Back in December we heard from a friend of a friend about the McPherson Housing Coalition, a non-profit here in town that renovates houses and then sells them at cost to familys in need. They were taking applications for the house they were currently working on. We had been looking for a house for over a year and were having a hard time finding one in our price range that was both big enough and in relatively good shape. So we applied on a whim, not really thinking we would be selected. We found out in January that we were!! It is still a long way from being done, but we get to participate in the renovations and watch it take shape. It's been a great experience as we get to see all the people that have put their time and talents into this home not knowing who was going to ultimately occupy it. I'll add more pictures as the renovations progress! We're so thankful and we're SOOOOOOO excited to get into our new house!!
