Oh, Friends, Some of you know that the 23rd has special meaning to The Husband and me. We started officially dating on January 23rd. We got married a year and a half later on July 23rd (our three-year anniversary is coming up next month!). Hadley's due date was on August 23rd. And, today, this 23rd day of June, has now been added to that list of memories. We closed on a new-to-us house!  We are homeowners. We fell in love with it and wanted to make it our home the moment we took a look inside a little over a month ago, and it's been an up and down journey since then.  God answered prayer after prayer (in His timing, of course), and we were forced to be patient and to not lose hope.  Neither of us were awesome at those things, but our God was faithful and surprised us last Wednesday when we got the call that we were going to be able to close this afternoon. This house, our home, has so many things that the two of us always wanted in a house but never though...
