Trying to Catch yall up!

Oh my goodness...where do I start?

We have been in our new home for 18 months and all is going well. Dennis is still with Target (15+ years now). I am working at the Education Center...which I love love love.

Davis is 14 and in the 9th grade which means HIGH SCHOOL. Which I am starting to handle better...time heals (true believer now). Davis loves band. He is heavily involved with everything band. This is our first year attending all high school football games. Matthew is 12-will be 13 this weekend-another teenage boy in the house (you can all start praying right now-get on your knees-I am going to need it) and he is in the 7th grade. Matthew is playing for the football team in middle school and he LOVES it. He is also pretty good (if I do say so myself). Amber is 9-will be 10 this week. Man, she is getting to "growney". My baby is going from a cutie to a beautiful young preteen. She is loving living in a neighborhood. She loves to go and play with everyone! She is also on the local 4th grade "girls on the run" team at school.

The only other thing that has been an adjustment is the loss of my dad. There are days that it seems like a bad dream, but then I realize it is not a dream but reality. Those times are very painful. My children miss him so much. We always seem to remember the good times, which helps heal the pain. We keep him alive in our hearts and knowing that families are forever is the greatest comfort ever.

Well, hopefully I can keep this blog updated...sorry for the 18 months of no connection-but it has been a busy, bumpy ride.

Count Down

The count down has started!!!!! The packing starts tomorrow and the truck will be loaded by Target on Friday. I can not believe it is finally here. I promise, I will try and get pictures of the new house on here soon. I just need to figure out how to do that, anyone willing to walk me through it??? Keep us in your prayers during this time......................Love ya

Official

We officially have the house that we wanted. We can start moving on February 28th. We are so so so excited. The children and I just got back yesterday from visiting Dennis again. We also got to see the house again. Thank you Heavenly Father for all the blessings we have. Dennis is thankful he has a job, we are thankful to have found a house that we can afford, thankful for the schools, and the church there seems to be Awesome. We truly are fortunate. Come see us in NC, we will be glad to have ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Been Awhile

Sorry! Keeping up with family, church, friends, house-hunting, school and etc.....(can't list everything) I can not write on this everyday. So only the important stuff from now on. Well, we have found a house. Our offer has been approved so now we are waiting on the good ole "paperwork". The children got to see the house this past weekend and they were shocked and HAPPY to see such an amazing house. The house is BIG, there are enough rooms so each can have their own room, It is 3 stories, and there is an in ground pool-how good is that? We are so lucky and so so so THANKFUL. Heavenly Father has made this possible in this time of our life. Matthew is finally excited and is embracing this move.
Please continue to pray for us that everything goes fine until the "paperwork" is signed and done and we have the keys in our hands.

Trip

Well, Dennis and I just got back from house hunting for an entire week. Boy-I did not think that looking for a house would be so time consuming and draining. I have always loved to look at homes, but this trip was tiring. We finally narrowed the search down to two houses. We are very very very excited about one house. Pray for us that we get it. It is beautiful and big!!!!!which we need. Will send pictures if we get it...

I still can not believe it...the scenery there is absolutely BEAUTIFUL...the rolling mountains are incredible. We drove up twenty minutes away from where we hope to live and found snow-enough for Dennis to make a snow ball, but still, the scenery is breath taking. Please visit us often, there will be room!!!

On Our Way

January 25th is the report date...finally a report date...Now let's pray and pray that the house sells. We are getting more and more excited. A new chapter in our lives! Wow, I did not think that this day would come, it seemed so slow at first, but now it is here. Stay in touch-Tifton and Omega!!!

Merry Christmas

Have a wonderful Christmas Day and be SAFE!!! We love you all...
