The Power of Christ is Alive in Us.

Well, it's the end of September and I haven't blogged since June. Bad me. Sheesh.

Here goes the crash course on what's happened with the Carscaddon's since June:
- camp has come and gone. A wonderful summer was had by all :) Being thankful for my job is an understatement.
- Zack got hired at Cleveland High School in JoCo. We are THRILLED with his new job; so far, so good :) Go God!!
- We both went from 23 ->24 years old since my last post. So far, year 24 is shaping up to be transitional for sure.
- My dad got married/we had Vegas Vacation in August. We enjoyed celebrating my dad's new marriage, all the while enjoying ALL that Las Vegas has to offer
- A few beach trips sprinkled in here and there, and that brings us to now...

Our current little project is BUYING A HOUSE. We started looking around in late July, right after camp. God willing, we are closing on our perfect little first home on October 31.

I told a very close friend today that once all this is said and done, I think I should write a blog on how to buy a house. Maybe call it "10 Things You NEED to Know About Buying a House for 20 Somethings". We'll see how this all pans out for us; there's still a lot to happen, but we are faithfully praying about it and eager to see God work in providing our first home together :)

I recently got a life motto that ties all this together with a pretty bow. I used this motto to get me through flying on a plane for the first time to go to Vegas. It's now getting me through this crazy, fun, exciting, and stressful time of buying a house and preparing for a HUGE transition. Who knew words that gave me peace when scared or flying could really keep me grounded during the process of buying a house?!

"THE SAME POWER THAT ROSE JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD IS ALIVE IN US."


Wow y'all. This is comfort and peace like no other. And it's really helped me face fears and tackle what first time home ownership looks like too :)

Can't wait to see what God's going to do next.

Eager, excited, and blessed,
