Life in The Family International

Joni: Things have been very busy here, but with it has come a lot of progress for which we are very glad. One news item of interest is that we will probably be moving houses in one month. Actually the way we found this new house was a miracle in itself. For a while we had been feeling that we’d like to find a house with a lower rent and also more rooms and space to expand a little, have better classrooms for the kids etc. (ha! Two things that don’t usually go together: bigger house, lower rent). Well, Vas was out jogging one day in our beautiful neighborhood (it really is gorgeous and so peaceful and quiet) and he took a path that he had never been on before. On the way was a house with a “for rent” sign on it. The gardener was there taking care of the place so Vas was able to go in and see it right away. He came home so excited and took a few of us to see it. It was great! A bit older than the one we’ve been in so far and needs a little fix up, mainly just the floor in the living room needs to be redone, but other then that the things that need fixing are fairly minor.

And… it has nine bedrooms! Yay! There are also two rooms that would work for a band practice room and a studio. It also has a tennis court, pool, and a nice big yard. It’s quite a beautiful house. Another pro is that the pool is completely fenced in which is something we were going to have to do here in this house, as our pool hasn’t had a fence around it—a big no no with all the little ones we have. We hadn’t even filled up the pool here yet because of that. So, we’re getting more and more excited about the move and the house is right around the corner which is great, since we’ve all been able to see it many times to make sure it’s what we want. If you get a chance, say a prayer for all that we’ll need to put into fixing it up—time, funds and patience. Thank you so much!

I’ll keep you posted
