It had me at "Lovely Victorian"

If you've been following this blog for any length of time then you already know I'm a lover/sucker, etc. for old homes. To be honest, I was hoping that this would be the year that Adam and I would actually (finally) be able to buy one, but alas, we're continuing this journey of job hunting and figuring out where we're meant to be, etc. So, for the time being we're still renters and that's okay. I started casually looking for a place just a bit ago, thinking we needed to get settled and resume "normal" life again. Well, this 1860's beauty was essentially the first thing that caught my eye! I really didn't think it would work out but after praying about it/thinking about it/talking about it, etc. Adam and I both felt good about it and were the ones chosen to live in this beautiful home! What a blessing! We're moving in next month and can't wait to call this place our home for the next year (at least)! So, we're officially going to be OC residents....no, not Orange County (MISS YOU CALI!) but Oregon City, Oregon! Here's to the next year of adventures for the Winns...in Oregon!

Molly, this is great news, indeed! I love Oregon City. There's a historic home there you can tour and it has the best kitchen set-up ever. Aren't you glad you trust the Lord for all things? He has some surprises in mind - exciting!

Looking forward to seeing you in August in Sisters.

Hi Molly and Adam:

The house looks wonderful, and when you move in it will have the Glory of the Lord "touch" to it!

We are excited for you both and we are so glad you will be near, 'cause you are so dear!

In Him,

Granddad
