High fives for the tree we bought today



We are celebrating tonight!

We bought this tree today. The yard and house comes with it.

Three posts ago, I shared that Ellie used the bathroom with the door open while on a tour of the house making all of us feel right at home.

Two posts ago, I shared that another couple bid $30,000 more than we did and we were crushed.

I am happy to post tonight that the bad guy bidders couldn't make good on their offer and the house is ours.

If you're near somebody, high five them and tell them the Rovenstines are finally going to settle down.

Then pull out your map and start scheming a trip to enjoy some Lisa hospitality on our back porch.

Yessssss! It looks amazing. Do you think there's enough room to run around, though? :) Looks like you can run till your legs fall off.

Oma says she thinks Moses will really be happy and maybe you can add a horse for Sofie along the way! We are happy for you and wish we could come help with the move!! How soon do you get to move in?

That is the best story Jason! Once again, a reminder that HE knows what he is doing and we just need to stay faithful. Who knows why it can be such a roller coaster, but I'm just so glad you guys have a home now. How patient you have been! And what a GORGEOUS house! I am SO SURE. Does God know you guys or what? I high-fived Ozzy and he was like, "What?? They did? And that tree too?? When can we go see them?" I'm sure he and Moses would have a swell time with all those miles to roam. :D

Did you check that place for Yokumstretchers before you moved in? It looks like the perfect breeding ground for such critters. Other than that it looks really nice and TVish. Perfect for a reality show. I'll be there soon!
