Our Little Hairdresser
Marley has already decided what she wants to be when she grows up. Today when we were watching tv Marley would pick up random things and start combing her hair. So I decided to give her a pick. She carried it every where with her. We are so blessed to have her in our lives she is such a joy to have.

Our New Home
Last year my parents moved to phoenix and stayed with us in our little home. A few months after they moved in Marley was born. It was at that time that we decided it was time to get a bigger house. It felt like if you were to take a picture of our house it would be bulging at the seems with all our stuff sticking out of it and about to explode. My dad got a job offer and moved back to Wyoming and Marvin and I decided to get serious about a new home. We talked to some people and found that we were a lot closer to getting a new home than we thought. We called up our realtor and started looking at houses. It was fun at first but after a while I started thinking we weren't going to be able to find exactly what we want and we would have to settle on something.
Marvin and I agreed that we wouldn't settle and we would leave it up to the Lord. So we prayed for help. After a couple of weeks of praying and looking we went and looked at a tri level. At first I wasn't to excited but once we went in we both fell in love. We put an offer in and played the waiting game. Our realtor called and said that there were multiple offers and that it would be a week or so before we would find out.
There were so many offers on our house that they had to take it off the market so people would stop putting in offers. It was getting to be a while and we started to get discouraged. Marvin and I just told ourselves that they had given the house to someone else and that we should just keep looking. However the Lord had a plan for us and it was to be in that house. Out of all the offers they chose our offer and we are now the proud owners of a 2400 sq ft home. It has 4 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms, a fire place, a swimming pool and a HUGE back yard. Below are the pictures of our new home. Marvin wanted to get a house that we could fix up so we could make it ours. He is working on it right now as I type this.
