morley update





Everyone,




Exciting news! As of this week Kent and I are homeowners - at least for the next few months. We have purchased our first "fixer upper" and hope to have it fixed and back on the market in a few months. It is in the River Rd. area near my parents home and the work needed is mostly work that Kent and I can do ourselves. One nice thing about this house is that there was a recent "add on" in the form of making over the third bay of the garage into a family room with a half bath and laundry area. Since this is new we won't have to do much to it and will be able to move into this area while we are tearing up the rest of the house. We will not have a kitchen but will have a microwave, our gas grill which has a burner, a toaster, coffee pot and crock pot. We should do just fine with that as well as an inexpensive refrigerator which we hope to find to put in the garage. We are also going to get a used washer and dryer and we will be all set. We are excited to begin this new chapter in our lives and plan to move in on Dec. 19th which is our projected closing date. Our furniture is still bobbing about on the ocean somewhere and we do not know for sure when it will arrive - most of it will be stored in a shop building on some friends property but it would be nice to have a bed before we move - please pray for the timing in all of this.




We spent the last couple of days scouring the ads in Craigslist for the Portland down to Eugene area looking for good deals on tools that we will need. When we moved to Greece Kent sold most of his tools except for some small hand tools so we are starting from scratch. We found some pretty good deals and yesterday by the time we came home our little Saturn VUE was packed to the gills. Believe it or not we had in the back, an air compressor, a large wheel barrow, a lawn mower, and a bunch of garden tools like a weed eater, shovels, rakes etc. Luckily at one place we also bought some big tarps. Too bad we don't still have our roof rack made out of the wire storage shelves that we had on our little Polo in Greece. We could have just strapped everything to the top! Somehow it doesn't seem quite as "kosher" here in the USA to do something like that.




Thank you for continuing to pray for us and for continuing with your faithful support. We are looking forward to getting busy with this next phase of our lives and seeing what other doors God opens up for us. We love you all.
