Typically I do this around thanksgiving but we have been blessed so much I had to write it down (I'm terrible at journals, so thanks blog!)
Chris went to Iowa this past weekend to look at Drake and find out more and hopefully find us a place to live. Long story short, he found a house 3 bedrooms, some yard, and best of all it is campus housing (off campus, this is not UT so We are very lucky to have found something that fits a family). They even lowered the rent $50 because they felt like they made Chris drive all over town. They will put in new carpets, and cabinets before we move in. I don't know what to do with myself. Plus Chris really enjoyed the school. He is excited but also a little nervous. I would be a lot more nervous if it were me, but hey its not.
I went and spent a few days with Kindy while Chris was gone. Oh how my kids love her house, or maybe the tramp or the cousins. Whatever it was they loved it. When we got home I showed Will a satellite photo of our "new" house in Iowa. He said where is the garage? I said there isn't one. then he asked where is the trampoline. Apparently if you live in a house you must have a trampoline.
Another blessing is Chris having a job still. In this economy this is huge.
Our condo has passed the initial approval from the bank for the sell. Now we are waiting on . . . I've got no clue but hopefully this is the last step. Another major blessing.
Jed goes into get scoped on Thursday. We are hope full that we will discover some reason for his throwing up, but if not we are really glad that we have had insurance, so we could see if we could find out if anything is wrong.
School is out and I am done babysitting. I have been so lucky to earn some money from home by babysitting, but I am so grateful that I have just my kids now. I feel like I'm a better mother and more willing to do things with my kids. because taking 6 kids to the store is crazy but 4 is really not all that bad.
There are many many more but we have been so blessed the last few months I am starting to get a little fearful of the coming month. Maybe it is the blessings before the trial of Law School, which I'm still OK about and not totally freaking out. I've started to pack. Mostly because there is a chance that the condo might sell before we have to move. WE don't really care we just want to sell this place and get out. Now off to look for a place to live for 1 1/2 months before we move to Iowa.
