Moving On

We are finally moved out. We got everything packed up and then unpacked at the storage yesterday. Thank you SO much for everyone that helped! From those of you that help with taking our boys for us and for those that helped lift the heavy stuff! We are really grateful for everything!

We are currently staying with my Aunt Janette and Uncle Danny. Hopefully we will only have to be there for a couple weeks. We are just waiting for everything to clear on the bank side of things, so that we can close on the house. We are so grateful for Janette and Danny and their hospitality, hopefully we don't bug them too much!

We are so grateful for the ward that we have moved from and for all the WONDERFUL friends that we have! We will get everyone our new info when we move in!

Once again THANK YOU all for your help, love and support!

OUR NEW HOUSE!

We finaly have a home! We submitted an offer last Friday on two homes and one of the offers was accepted. We are so excited! We know that this the home that we are supposed to be in. We know that the Lord had his hand in guiding us to it!

It is such a relief to know we have somewhere to go. It is going to be a huge change for us. We have been in our current home and ward for 5 1/2 years now. We have brought all three of our boys home from the hospital in this home. It has been such a good home for us.There are so many memories here! We are really blessed have lived here and to have met the friends that we know we will keep forever!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLLIN!!!

I can't believe Collin is 3 already! Time just flies! I asked Collin the other night how old he will be on his birthday and he said," 4 1/2". He seems to think he is the same age as Jaden.

A little bit about our little boy. Collin is the destroyer in our house. If something is broken, Collin most likely did it! He is also our BIG eater! He is ALWAYS in the fridge or pantry! Recently we have found him opening up the pantry, climbing the shelves and closing the door behind him. He is in there quietly eating until he is caught! One day, while he was doing that very thing, Justin opened up the pantry to get something to eat and Collin scared him half to death! Justin was not expecting to seem him, or anyone for that matter, in the pantry! Collin is really Goofy too! He is off in his own little world most of the time! It is fun to just sit and watch him do the silly little things that he does when, he thinks, no one is watching! Collin is VERY sweet! He is always the first one to tell me, out of the blue," I love you, MOM"! If someone gets hurt he always wants to make sure they are ok!

We are so grateful to have Collin in our little family. We are so grateful Heavenly Father has entrusted him to us!

We Love You, Collin! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

My Best Friend

It has been 6 years since the day that Justin and I were married! I can't believe it is 6 years already. It seems like just a couple years ago we met! With everything that has been going on with renting our house out and trying to find a new one I almost forgot to blog about it.

I am so glad to be sealed to Justin.We have done a lot of learning and growing in the last 6 years. More for me than him I would say. I know that Justin and I were meant for each other. He is such an awesome example to me. I am so grateful to know that he has a testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and that he has always been worthy to hold and administer the Priesthood. He is such an example to our boys with all that he does.

So, I just want to say to you Justin, your my best friend and I Love You!!

Renters

Well, we have found renters for our house. So we will be moving out of our house on April 26th. We are so excited to be able to get a home that better fits our family. We have put an offer in on a house and will know in the next couple days what the out come will be.

The home that we have put an offer on is in the northwest. We have found quite a few houses out there that fit our needs in size and price.

Needless to say, we are excited to finally be able to look for another home without having to worry about what we are going to do with our current one. So, wish us luck and keep us on your prayers! We know that the Lord has his hand in all things and he will guide us to where we are supposed to be!

We will keep you posted!

Ok.. so I definitely need to post something! I haven't posted in a week or so, so here is a little bit of what is going on...

We are back on a house hunt... again! I know what your thinking..."would they just get it over with already". Instead of selling our house we are going to try and rent it out. We have had it posted on Craigslist for about a week and a half now. We have gotten a bunch of calls and 4 people that have come by. We had 1 of the 4 come by this afternoon. She is from New Hampshire. She is just moving out here to have a change of location. It would only be her and her 11 year old son. We really feel like she is the right one for our house. But, with past experiences, we know that the Lord has total control. We are not sure why we feel like she is the one but, we do. I feel like there might even be some missionary work that could come of this whole process. I know that there is a reason for everything, sometimes it just takes us longer to figure out what the reason is. Especially me!

Trying to find a renter has proven to be a whole heck of a lot easier than finding a buyer. We have found that most people want to wait until the prices bottom out to buy a home, others have, unfortunately, fallen into foreclosure. We figure that if this renter doesn't pan out that we will just give up on getting out of our house and stay for a while longer. If we are supposed to move than things will work out.

I really am having a difficult time with knowing what we ARE supposed to do though. Here is the reason why... I (we) prayed(forever) that our house sell, after a whole year we knew that, that was not what we were supposed to do.DUH! We figured we needed to have(learn) patience... Then, when we got an offer we thought "this is it"! I think for both of us, in the back of our heads we knew it was going to fall through(I just didn't was to say it). So we took the house off the market. I had thoughts a couple months before that maybe we should try and rent it out, but we really didn't want to deal with the hassle of having renters and fixing something if it broke or worse... having our house trashed! So why the change of heart? We just keep thinking that now is the time to buy! Prices are not at rock bottom yet but they are at a point now that we could still afford a good size house without having to break the bank. I figure that we had to give renting at shot. I knew I couldn't have guidance from the Lord if I was just sitting on my butt, waiting to be pointed in the right direction.

So, in the end I would ask for your prayers, for us to be happy with the outcome. I really feel comfort in knowing that the Lord knows what is best for us and in the end we will be in the right place and at the right time for our family.
