COUNTDOWN TO CANDIDACY

We are excitedly preparing for Candidacy!!!!

Selling our House ...
We are moving forward in faith and putting our house on the market before we leave for Candidacy.  We have never cared to update our home and now that we are placing it on the market we are doing several projects to make our home more desirable.  Our crew has been working around the clock.  We have moved out of the master bedroom and moved our king bed into our girl's room.  Now we have a bunk bed and a king bed in this room.  On any given night there can be anywhere from 5 to 7 people sleeping in this room.  It sounds crazy but it's actually been a very fun and peaceful time.  Here are some pictures of the master bedroom:

We had a good friend and realtor tell us that if we were going to spend any time and money we would get the most return from improving the master bath and kitchen - we decided to start in the bath.



The Crew Working Hard and Having Fun



We could not exactly change the master bath without making the master bedroom somewhat similar.  The kids had fun ripping down wallpaper, repairing and sanding walls and playing tic-tac-toe on the walls.  I hope they don't continue to play games on the walls once we get them painted.

We are out of town this weekend for Air National Guard training and Jen's mom & dad and a great christian brother are at the house trying to get the walls primed and painted.  The goal is to get mom and baby in the room as soon as possible. 

Next - the living room and kitchen.

Funds... 

We are leaving for Candidacy on March 16th.  We have to pay for the airline tickets and van rental ahead of time so we need to raise our funds by February 15th.  Our budget for Candidacy is $11,000 and our church has set up an account from which they will manage the funds for us. Checks can be sent to the church office at the following address:

     Taylors First Baptist Church
     200 West Main Street
     Taylors, SC 29687-2342
PLEASE MARK THE Memo Section with the following:
     BODOLOSKY M.A.R.C. CANDIDACY

Please continue to keep our family in your prayers.  We are about 2 months from Candidacy.  At the end of Candidacy we will know if we are invited to join the M.A.R.C. staff.  Our new baby is due any day and we cannot wait to meet him.  Our house is coming along and we are praying God has a buyer ready.
