A House Turned Home

Tweet

Alhumduillah, two LONG years after we first saw this house... we closed on our new home today!

After seeing many (and i mean MANY - like well over a hundred), we stumbled across a great house two years ago. The house was probably the first one that we all sort of liked... and more importantly it was a house that would work for us!!

It seemed to good to be true, and was proven rightfully so when we found out it was a short sale (hence the two year wait). Many times it seemed like it wouldn't work out and, that we were wasting our time, that it wasn't meant to be... but alas! 

The house needs a lot of work, so we aren't moving just yet - but just the thought of packing (and even worse -- unpacking) is making me exhausted.

Inshallah, there will be many great memories in this new house for us.

84-Year-Old Freshman

I haven't posted anything since I got back from Canada about two weeks ago, but this article I was just reading was too neat not to share:

It's about an 84 year old man who is a freshman in college pursuing a degree in psychology and then hopes to to eventually get his masters in the field as well. How inspiring?

Many times, as a student at Rutgers, I had non-traditional students in my classes - but this story is amazing.
