new post-new location

it has been quite some time since i last posted anything…not that i haven’t had PLENTY to blog about, just no time.  i really have no time now either, but i’m avoiding chores and list making for ben and sam’s 3rd birthday party.

since my last post we have gone through some major transitions.  we have moved in with my father in law.  after many weeks, months of prayer we made the decision to move in to help him out with the house, all of the ‘firsts’ and as jason likes to say: “bring the noise”.  and that we have.

i’m not going to cover for the sake of a sweet blog, it has been hard.  i love my house and my space.  but that wasn’t important.  we felt God moving us in this direction.  it took us a while to get packed up…i really didn’t realize how much ‘stuff’ we had.  we rented our house out in 3 days on craig’s list to a wonderful couple.  they have allowed us to leave some things in the attic and best of all they have allowed us to leave the murals on the walls in the kids rooms.

as for the rest of our stuff we have it all crammed in our dear friends garage…i still think they were trying to be too nice and are now second guessing that kind gesture! we have had many great friends help us out in this transition, it is nice to have a fantastic support group around you.  we are blessed.

we have been here on spotted owl lane for a little over a month.  sam, ben and jack have done quite well with the change.  a little set back with a few things like potty training and going to bed, but those things we hadn’t mastered yet anyhow.  they love being at pa pa’s house.  watching football with him and reading books.  we are a schedule oriented family so getting back into routine here has made things easier.  and the daunting task of cleaning a significantly larger house than my own still has it’s overwhelming days, but for the most part fits right in to a daily routine.

things are good here though, i know that God is going to teach me many things, and already has.  but we can’t complain.  it is beautiful out here.  as you can see for yourself!
