It's been a long time, but I'm back!

Hello all! I'm embarassed when I recognized I haven't blogged since September of 2007!!!! This year I returned to work full time after having Hope, plus we moved, and I started a Master's Program. All that to say - I've been so busy, but plan on updating my blog more regularly than I had been. I hope all is well and I'll keep you updated on what is going on in the Broich home!

Update on our House

Well, we do not have a buyer for our house - yet. We do have some prospects, but nothing concrete. We still plan to move to our new house next month. Please pray that we have a buyer for our house soon.

Hello from the sickies...

In case you were wondering why I haven't posted in a while, it's because for the last three weeks or so, someone in our family has been sick. I even have laryngitis!!!! So, we are hopefully on the mend. David's cold progressed to his chest, though we are thankful it isn't pneumonia! Hope has an ear infection and I have a chest cold and now, no voice. Michael, however, is perfectly healthy and we praise the Lord for that!

We have a new house!!!

This is the same house we lost the bid on beforehand. We got a call from our agent (right before we were going to look at more houses) that the deal fell through and that if we were still interested to make an offer before the house went back on the market. So, we got the house we loved at a lower price! Isn't God great? Well, we have found the perfect house, in the perfect location. It is just minutes from both of our parents, from school, church - our life. We are so blessed. Once we close on the house, I will post pictures of it, since it is not technically ours YET. We plan to settle in mid-October. Please pray that our house sells. It hasn't been on the market that long, but we have seen interest - just no buyer yet. Please pray for us as we transition!!!!

Working in a hard hat?

Well, you read correctly. The school I work for is undergoing a new construction/renovation project. The high school completely renovated (what was) the newer section of the building and has built a brand new, three-story wing and a huge gym. Since the main entrance of the building is not completely finished yet, employees must wear a hard hat to enter their classroom, if it is in the new three-story wing. I have to say it is amazing the progress on the building - and it looks like we'll start school on time.

Hanging out with my children

Aren't they just adorable? I have enjoyed the summer with my children. It is hard to imagine going back to work after the fun we've had reading, playing, giggling...taking mini field trips to grandparent's houses...I'm speechless, which is rare.

To move or not to move....

We have recently placed our house on the market. We are ready to relocate ourselves closer to our family, church, work, and David's school. Driving 20-30 minutes everywhere is getting so old. So...up it went for sale. We have looked at about 12 houses and have already made a bid on one (but we lost it), so we're on to looking at others in our price range. We did find one recently, but we are cautious, as the first showing for our house is tomorrow. We want to have some assurance that our house will sell before we buy another one. Swing loans are not ideal.
