1716 S. 9th Avenue

The house is listed... and SOLD (contingent miscellaneous). Our first day on the market and we received a good offer on our house! We've accepted and now wait for inspections, etc. to be done. We should know in 13 days if we're closing on the 17th of October. 

The times they are a changin':

Mark and I have two HUGE changes to share with those who happen upon our blog.

1) We're expecting a baby! Our first little one is due March 3, 2009. Of course, we're very excited. So far things have been remarkably easy- I haven't been sick at all! I did devote many hours to sleeping during the first trimester however.

I'm feeling energized now and ready for our next announcement...

2) We're moving. Mark has accepted a call as senior pastor at Wiley Heights Covenant Church in Yakima, WA (central Washington). We're getting the house ready to put on the market and hope to be heading west by mid-October. This move is exciting, but it is also sad to leave our church family and friends here in Sioux Falls. We are, however, confident that this is what the Lord is calling us to.

We appreciate prayers for a healthy baby and a smooth move.
