Closer to Moving Day

So, escrow should be officially closed 1 WEEK from today. Exciting? Most definitely! Stressful? A little. Packed??? NOPE!!! Not even one box! Can you believe it? "Mrs. Organized" hasn't even started. So if you're free (or just plain bored), you're more than welcome to come pitch in, LOL. I am going to make this post then tape my first box and get packing. I think the busyness of this time of the year has my mind and time elsewhere currently, but I need to get started. Please pray that I'll be in the right mindset to just start and finish what needs to be done. Hopefully next weekend we'll have some pictures of the inside of our new home to show and then you'll be able to watch as we make this house into our home.

On another note... we hope Thanksgiving was wonderful for each of you. We had an amazingly fun time with Bryan's grandparents, his brother's family, cousins from Chicago, and his aunt. We were so blessed to all be together. Ginger and I spent much time scrapbooking in the evenings, the guys played their video games, and it was nice just relaxing. We also took the kids to Johnson's Christmas Tree Farm in Boulder Creek and stopped in Casa de Fruta on our way home to eat lunch, ride the train, and also ride the carousel. It was a great trip! (pictures to come)

Unhappy Feet

Okay, it's probably just me that found the title funny :) But I didn't like "Happy Feet" to begin with, so here's a late picture of our little sick penguin on Halloween. Aunt Stacey was able to capture a picture of him.

House Happenings

Well, it's official... we've opened escrow this morning on a house!!! So, if all goes well, we should be in OUR new house by Christmas. Please pray that all goes well with the 30-day escrow and we can get easily moved and adjusted by the end of the year. We are so excited to become home owners and this house is just perfect for us. It's 9 years old, 4 bed/2 bath in Kingsburg, great yards for Evan to play, and plenty of room to grow. We'll keep you updated on the progress and look forward to having you all as guests in the near future!
(Just not all at once, LOL)
