Catching up...

Well a lot has been going on in our lives. Rich was laid off in May. I went back into the hospital a week after that. We put our house on the market, not knowing how long it could take for him to find a job, we tried to play it safe. We worked out booties off getting the house ready to sell. Rich found a job new job, that was actually a raise and a promotion. We decided to go ahead and list our house anyway, since the last time we listed it was on the market for 9 months and didn't sell. And to our surprise, our house sold in 6 days! They wanted us out in 2 weeks. Full priced offer. We had told our neighbors who had been coming by worried about us leaving, that we wouldn't go without a full priced offer. Well we got one, so we had to pack up. No place to go, we hadn't even considered where to move yet. We are finally settling down in our rental. We are totally living all Sanford and Son like, our garage is PACKED with cardboard boxes. But we aren't about to haul all the holiday stuff up two stories to the attic. We aren't going to be here that long, *crossing fingers*.

We have a contract to build a house fairly close to our rental. We are going back and forth with the architect with changes. The first bump was that the changes we wanted wouldn't allow the house on the lot we picked. So we're working through those changes trying to get something to work out.

Its funny how things work out. Usually I pray for something tangible or visbile to happen. When all this chaos started happening, I just prayed for peace. As in I put it all in God's hands and knew he had a plan, then I just prayed for peace that I could have faith and not be up tossing and turning all night. God really was watching out for us. I am so thankful, I cannot even express it enough in words.

Anyhoo.. we're camping out in what the kids call our "little while" house while we wait for another one to be built. It was supposed to be finished in January. But we've been going back and forth on the floor plan for almost 6 weeks now. I'm ready to get that show on the road!

I had to pull the kids out of their preschool they loved. It made me sad but it was just too far to drive everyday for a few hours. I was able to get Cameron in one preschool, but Kailey was waitlisted. I'm praying something opens up where they can both go together. Kailey is the one that really loves school, but Cameron is the one that really needs to go. So I'm just hoping something opens up soon.
