New Home

We are officially the owners of a new-old home in Prairie Village, KS! Very scary (as you will see) but very exciting. We waited an extra day to sign papers as the renters occupying the house had not cleared out. After running around yesterday and getting this moving along a little quicker, we went ahead and signed on the house. When we went over today, they were still moving and there is a mountain 5 feet tall of trash in the front yard. We are praying this will take care of itself without more involvement on our part. We tore out the carpet and pads and found relatively nice hardwood floors underneath. Very exciting. The weekend will bring a lot of work, but hopefully things can get turned around in the house and we can make it the Wiebe home we've been dreaming of.

Emily in the living room. Look at those floors!














Hard at work.














Nice big windows.














The kitchen.














We left out most of the scary stuff. That will come later...

I am so excited to see what you guys do with this! I think it has amazing potential. If I can't get a job, I will work for food.
