New Beginnings!

Well as most of you know we've been in the process of finding a house for our family.  God has blessed us with a finding.  We looked at the home twice and it just didn't compare to other's we'd looked at and I think it will suit our family of 4 plus 2 just fine.  It's right in town in Desloge and right across the street is an amazing church. Although we will not attend there. But they do have a nice gym, play room, basketball court and walking track that is open to the public.  We will still be attending our wonderful church in Bonne Terre.  I wouldn't trade my church or church family for anything. They are the best!

Travis and I went this morning and signed all the papers to get the loan started on the home.  I was a little nervous signing all those papers.  It's like signing your life away :) but in a good way. So we are hoping to close around Sept 19th or so.  Sooner would be better but we'll see how apraisals and inspections go and go from there.  Just so excited that we don't have to rent anymore and basically wasting our money or have to live next to crazies and the owner's well I'm not even going there.  They're a whole other subject.

We also got more good news! Well at least we hope so.  The kids mother text them on Sunday and said she was moving to Quincy, Illinois b/c her new husband got a job there.  To us this is no suprise since she hasn't even seen them since christmas and before that was last June.  We talked to the kids to see how they were feeling about the situation and they both didn't seem to care or be bothered by it.  So I don't know how this will all end up but I think they are pretty much done with her and tired of trying to get her to love them and see them.

On to another subject.... I was cleaning Cyrelle's room the other day getting rid of stuff so we have less to move and I found a note that she wrote to our little man Hunter.  I don't have it with me but will post it tomorrow.  It was so sweet and I cried.  Hunter was such an amazing little boy and we all miss him dearly.  I still find myself breaking out in tears from time to time, espcially when I come aross things that remind me of him or seeing his pictures etc.  But I know that Hunter is being taken care of in Heaven and everthing is going to be ok.

I'll post the note from Cyrelle tomorrow :)
