We're IN ! ! ! ! !

We are in our new home!! We have been moving in since the 7th of March, and we now have all our belongings here from the old place except for a few cleaning items we left behind to clean up after ourselves.
We have been 'puttering around' putting stuff in the places we think is best.... for now. We know we will be moving stuff around for several weeks trying to find it's best home. Geri has been buying a few accessories for the kitchen and bathrooms to hold various necessities used in each room. The double car garage is full of boxes of belongings that will eventually find a proper place.

This picture will be given to the homeWORD institution as proof of our home purchase. They will, in turn, provide us with a nice gift certificate to use toward household items at one of the local home stores. We attended a 'GET READY FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP' class last fall that helped us prepare for home ownership and by doing so, afforded us the certificate with photographic proof of our purchase. The class we took was very well attended and was taught by not only a real estate professional, but also by a local mortgage lender, a home inspector, a title company representative and others one meets in the process of buying a home.

We are glad to be in our new home, and look forward to the rewards that home ownership will provide us!!

Dear Friends,

let us be the first to congratulate you in this space !!!!

We've done this three times now and appreciate the stress it brings, but also the reward of having 'your very own place'.

Wishing you many years of happiness in your new home together !!!

Nina and Francois

Nope, we still need to sell our house in Holland first. We don't want a mortgage anymore, so we need to finance France with the proceeds of the planned sale. It is not a seller's market anymore, unfortunately. May take a long time now......
