20 days and counting!

Well, the count down begins. We found a house after an exhausting weekend. The kids were so great of a total of over 30 hours in the car. That's the trip down there
(5), house hunting day 1 (12), house hunting day two (8), and then the last day (7).
It was soo crazy. I felt so bad for them. But they couldn't have been any better. It has been so overwhelming and mental exhausting with all of this. And we still have so much to do.
We are so excited though,.the area is so pretty. You can't even see some of the neighborhoods because the trees are so thick.
The house is 5 minutes from the club Trey will be at! That means way more family time!
It seems like a dream some days.
We know that God has some major stuff planned for us. I can't wait to see it unfold. It feels like waiting for Christmas. I can only imagine all the little presents and blessing He has tucked away to let us open through each step of obedience. The anticipation is killing me!!!
How fun and exciting?!?!

Home Improvement!

Well,
We are going on day two of putting new tile in our kitchen...It is going about as well as expected. hmmm...Let's see. Our whole kitchen is in my living room. I meant it. The fridge, the bar stools, the table and chairs, the pantry. ALL of it. WE ARE ONLY IN 1400 TO BEGIN WITH!!!
It's really ok, so far. The kids have been great. Ryan has been asleep for a while. I am worried about this afternoon..We are going to have to find some errands to run.
I am sure by tomorrow it would have been a nightmare. Thank goodness we are leaving to take Logan to Sky Ranch for the week.
She is so excited to go to camp. I am excited too, for her. I will be OK until about Thursday, then I will cry like a baby. I hate being away from my kids.
I will post some pics of the kitchen soon! It's going to look great.
The guys are really doing an awesome job. Jason Bankhead, and our neighbor Darrell have been helping. They have been lifesavers!!! Really, they probably save us two days of work. Such a huge help and blessing!

Gut Check

Well,
this has been a crazy couple of weeks. Caden started out with a sore throat and we ended up at the ENT trying to rule out lymphoma!
I don't know that I have ever been that scared. I prayed on my knees, hands in the air, face to the ground, every way! I begged, pleaded and bargained. I sobbed, wailed, cried, sniffled and had a panic attack.
this was my baby. my boy. the one I say, "Goodnight Buddy Boy! I love you!" Every night to.
It was excruciating.
We got the news yesterday that his blood work came back all normal and it was all most likely a weird virus. He is feeling better too. I think it's the first time I breathed a full breath in 6 days. It was rough.

Once again, God is faithful. Forever.
