As The Time Draws Near...

Well folks, the time is almost here. For the move, that is. I can't talk about it much, because as each day passes, I seem to get more emotional and sentimental. So I've decided to give you guys some more details regarding our move and also some ways that you can pray for us. We will be moving out of our house on June 7 (or close to that...depending on when we close on the house). We have quite a bit packed up. We've been doing a little at a time and trying to not be procrastinators. We have so much stuff though...seriously, where did it all come from? From there, we will be staying with my parents for about a week. The reasons for this are #1) June 14 is just the day we had in mind at the beginning so we're sticking to it and #2) most likely, my brother Adam will be coming with us instead of my Dad (it is busy season you know, plus he's got a bum elbow!). Adam only has Tuesday/Wednesday off...so we have to go when he can go. So, June 14 is moving day...the big

Mrs. Henry's Home Buying/Selling Tips

Ha! Do you enjoy that title? I'm putting on my teacher hat for a second here! I feel so wise in my 24 years of life that I feel the need to share my home buying/selling tips that I have learned over my nearly two years of home ownership. I'm obviously not TOO incredibly smart since I have tips to share - tips that I have learned the hard way. Many of you probably don't feel you need to hear these tips...but maybe you need to be reminded...and maybe there's a good moral to the story too! Tip #1 Do not purchase a home until you are SURE you will be in the area for at least 7-10 years. Obviously, I have learned this one! First off, it protects you from losing money. It also saves you the hassle of selling a house quickly after purchase. With the economy like it is now, you can't afford to make hasty $100,000 decisions! As for our story, we received the First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit in 2009. Man, that was wonderful when we got it! I paid off my student loans with

KC Adventures

So I've decided that I'm not so good at blogging. I meant to do this at least a couple times a week...not once every two weeks. It's a very busy time in my life so I apologize! I'll try harder! I have decided to focus this blog post on more FUN things! It seems my past posts have been serious tear-jerkers and while I enjoy them...it's time for some fun! Luke and I (the dorks that we are) have created a short list of adventures we would like to embark on when we get to KC. My plan is to document all these adventures and share them with you. This list is just a few things we have found so far...I'm sure it will grow. And as I look over it...most of it seems centered around food and sports. Hrmmm...let's get started. Oh, by the way, these are in no particular order. 1. Kansas City Royals game. No, we are NOT going to disown the Cardinals! We will always be Cardinals fans. However, Royals games are CHEAP! They have BUCK nights and areas of the stadium that ar
