You'll Never Guess...

...we've been UNpacking. No, we are still in Texas, but we wanted to unpack stuff that was in the attic so that the packers could pack it all correctly. Seem silly, but it's not since it's all glassware and SOME knick-knacks.

This may be my last post for a while. The packers come tomorrow & we leave AFTER Bunco on Thursday! Oh, our internet provider does not provide in Utah, UGG. So, I'm gonna have to change my e-mail addy and figure out how to change it on here and all my Yahoo! groups.

Anyhow, pray as you feel led for our trip and this house to sell before we close on the new house!!

Poor me...

NOT! I have been whining about well...almost everything for the past couple of weeks (atleast in my head) and someone sent this to one of my e-mail groups. All I can say is WOW! I am such a baby.

Catching Up...

I really should be packing or cleaning something, but I'm tired! I will soon, it is still morning after all.

Last week I got new glasses and gave up on contacts. They are "Magic Clips" so I won't have to worry about changing glasses while I'm driving. The sunglasses clip on with magnets! I don't miss contacts at all, but I will probably go back to them one day...maybe.

Steve went to Utah and started working today. He will fly home on Saturday. The movers come next week! We expect to be in Utah before the end of the following week. WHEW! This is going so quickly!

Steve called this morning to tell sweating me that it was only 50*F there! Not fair! I look forward to cool mornings on our new deck!

Well, Brendan is up for a major life change also! I'm not excited, but he is going to live with his bio-dad in San Antonio. He will be going to Public School (YUCK!!!!) and I'm so worried. We did not have a good year last year with Tara coming and Steve's mom passing, now the move. I just know his performance is going to be blamed on me and "how awful homeschooling is, especially when mom is not a degreed teacher". I get ill just thinking about it. He's really a smart kid, just needs lots of motivation (still trying to figure that out). Pray for him.

We are still working out the details of visitation and stuff, so pray that it goes smoothly and quickly.

Is this cute or what?

New Haircut

Kyla and I got major haircuts yesterday. Here's a picture of mine.
Maybe after Kyla brushes her hair, I'll take a picture of hers.

Dr. Ryann

Yesterday, I was running across the room to retrieve a marker from a certain little girl and hit my ankle on the rocking chair. It swelled up so quickly I knew it needed ice! Brendan got the ice and Ryann held it on and patted my leg asking if I hurt. She was so sweet and wouldn't let anyone else hold it for me. I was also nursing Tara during these pictures.

The offending rocker.

Please Pray

There is something going on that I don't want to put on my blog right now that I really need prayer for. Those of you close to me know what it is, but there is someone who may read my blog that doesn't need to know everything YET (a very specific someone).

I believe God's hand is on this situation and I am leaning hard on Him. He is the one who planned this and He will be glorified, I will be purified, and it will be very good. It's just really hard right now. Please pray for me and my family.

God is good ALL the time & ALL the time God is good!

I only have a few minutes...

I have to be quick before the phone rings and they tell me a realtor wants to show my house in 5 minutes. LOL! Well, that has only happened once, but we've only been home a little over a day. Yesterday was CRAZY! Everytime that I thought we could go home and get some laundry done, the phone would ring (I forwarded the home phone to my cell so that I wouldn't miss any of those calls) and they would say that someone wants to show the house during such and such time. It was shown four times yesterday, once at 8pm. Praise God that there are so many interested! Steve and I decided that this we were going to have to put limits on this in order to preserve our family (and sanity). It's kind of like obeying the speed limit, even though you are in a rush. We can't let the selling of our home become more important than everything else no matter how eager we are to sell. We have learned that when we obey the speed limit ("man's law") we are usually still on time ("His Grace"), so I'm sure the house will sell if we are faithful to put the kids first and set limits. Does this make sense at all?

We had a great time in Utah, looking for houses. The area we are planning to live in is beautiful. Tara was an angel!!
Tara on the plane, she slept almost all the way!
