Wiped

Phillip and I are currently lying on the floor...wiped out. We have loaded one 20 foot trailer and are working on a 12 foot one. The girls rooms are completely cleaned out and cleaned. There is no furniture left in the house and there is only a mattress in our room. We have some little things to box and then clean the rest of the house. We will be out of the house on Friday and begin taking up our next temporary residence.

WOW!!

Well, I must ask if I have lost my mind? At the same time, there is little I have had control of with what is to come. What is even crazier, is that everything that is about to happen is something to be greatly thankful for and we are truly blessed. First off, we are moving this week. To where we are not completely sure, possibly an RV for a couple of weeks until we can move into our house that is not 100% yet. So I am packing a suitcase for each member of the family and go from there. We have our first Sunday this week and are ecstatic to start our ministry there. Next, Reese turns 2 on Sunday. My baby turns 2! It is so hard to believe. She doesn't even have all of her teeth but she sure is talking more and starting to use sentences. Next, Kaylee starts Kindergarten on Monday. My baby starts Kindergarten! So keep us in your prayers. We are living in the clouds and actually I just realized today that this might all be a little stressful. I have an interview on Tues. with Hendrick Home Hospice and I love hospice so pray that it goes according to God's plan. His plan has been exceedingly beautiful so far and so many people have been working so hard for us. They are some really precious people.
God is good<> < All the time!!

Home Sweet Home...For a little While

We are home and have a bath tub and our own beds. We left today around 12 and got home around 7. Ordered pizza and are getting the girls ready for bed. We are all exhausted but happy as little clams. We actually saw clams spitting in the ocean and Phillip opened one up which Kaylee thought was gross. We had a blast on the trip and really can't think of any draw backs. We swam in the ocean several times a day, lounged on our deck over looking the ocean, made sand castles, buried Daddy, flew a kite...well kinda, went crab fishing, caught a few fish, and of course went shopping. We had a blast. I didn't take many pictures because we were mostly wet. We are home and will continue packing tomorrow and through next week. We also have 'bought' a house in Sweetwater that we hope to flip. We have not signed the papers so it is not a done deal but close. I will post pics later.

What Day Is This

I really do know that it is Wed. but we are in the middle of VBS and getting ready to move and go on vacation. We are packing boxes every day and seeing little to no progress. But that is the nature of the beast..when it comes to moving. We are preparing to go to the beach Sun after the morning services and are so excited to just blob out on the beach. We have rented a house on the beach and are so looking forward to it. Then we come back, go to a wedding, then have our last Sunday in Cisco and then move to Sweetwater. We have had a few hits on houses to rent and 3 areas of land. We are ready to see how things are going to be going. We cannot wait! Kaylee and Reese are both registered for their perspective schools and I have applied at TSTC and the hospital. I most likely will not post until after our vacation. Have a blessed week.

The Vote is In

Well, we have had a wonderful weekend with our church in Sweetwater. It has been pleasant and comfortable and right. We have enjoyed getting to know the deacons and the staff and of course the search committee even better. The vote this morning was 176 votes yes and 7 no. We accepted the call and are raring to go. We will register Kaylee for school tomorrow. She needs to get one more shot. I will put in a couple of applications and we will look for housing. There really isn't anything to rent but hopefully one of the houses for sale would be willing to let us rent for a few months as we are going to try and build our new home. We are thrilled and know without a shadow of a doubt that the Lord has called us to Sweetwater to continue our minisrty for Him! Have a great week! GOD IS GOOD...ALL THE TIME!!
