Welcome to the official blog for the David and Leah Picanco family! I am happy to finally have the chance to start a blog so I ca keep track of the many happenings of our family. It is fun for other people to see, but one of the main reasons I think this will be good for us is because I am so bad at journaling--hopefully I will be more motivated to record special memories and events in our family's lives via this outlet! This is my second attempt at blogging--some of you may have seen my first try back in 2007. I didn't realize at the time how hard it would be to do this without high-speed internet, which we did not have at the time. So I decided to just start over with a new blog. Bear with me as I learn the tricks of the trade.
The most recent development in our lives is the possibility of moving to Shelley, Idaho in June. We are at the point in the process where we have to wait and see if an FHA loan will be approved despite the repairs that the house needs. It is a fixer-upper, which is one of the reasons we wanted it--so we (and by we I mostly mean David :) could make the repairs ourselves and gain equity more quickly. However, if FHA determines that certain repairs have to be done in order for the loan to be approved, we may have to build that price into the price of the loan and then hire an FHA approved contractor to do the work, which would seriously stink...we're just waiting to see what happens at this point. But everthing thus far has gone so quickly and smoothly--we are trying to have faith that this is what we are supposed to be doing and the Lord will continue to bless us in this endeavor if it is what is best for our family. I'll post some pics of the house as soon as things are a little more final. In the meantime, we will continue to enjoy our little home in Idaho Falls and being a little closer to everything, including many of the people we love!
