Just havin' fun

We're waiting to move, but not just sitting around "twiddlin' our thumbs". Here are a couple of things that we've been able to do the last few weeks.

Jamestown,VA (Yes, Jase is looking at me through the barrel of a cannon)

Children's Museum of Richmond

Camping in George Washington National Forrest

We aren't playin' all the time, but we definitely have enjoyed the times spent together as a family.

Waiting

We're still here. Didn't have much to post the beginning of last week, so I figured I would just wait.

Jarrod and I went to visit my family in southwest Virginia on last Tuesday through Friday and, then my parents brought us back to Richmond Friday and stayed the weekend. We had a lovely time. We did a lot of chatting and I read some. I don't get to do that as much as I like. One night we went to see my Grandparents and family and made icecream. I didn't get in on the cranking this time, but they still let me have some.:) Nothing like it! Saturday we went out for B-B-Q and went downtown Richmond sight-seeing with Mom and Dad. We very much enjoy being with our family. It's never long enough, is it?
Jase decided to get a job in the area as long as we aren't moving right away. Lowe's has hired him as a delivery truck driver. Looks like it could be a decent job. There's even a possibility of a transfer when we do make the move to OH.
Anyway, things ARE moving, just slowly. We have a house inspection tomorrow. Those always make me a little nervous.
Right now, I'm going to go make some cookies with Jarrod. I promised him I would play some Dominoes, too. Hope everyone has a good day!

What can I say, except, "God does answer pray!" We put our house up for sell a week and 3 days ago, and we already have a contract signed with an offer AND a back-up offer to be signed, Lord-willing, on Monday! We have shown the house no less than 17 times & had a "zillion" phone calls! We obviously still have some huge hurdles, but even now, we are just waiting on the Lord to work these things out.

We have worked VERY hard on this house. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about remodeling. Here are some before and after shots of the family room and kitchen (this is over a year's time). This is only the "tip of the iceburg". Anyway, please continue to pray for us. We have truly seen God work in these situations and now we need to wait on Him.

Changes

Well, I've been putting off this post for a while. I really haven't known how to say ALL that needs to be said. We have MUCH going on in our lives right now.

As some of you that check our teen blog will already know, we are moving away. Our last Sunday at our church and with our beloved teens was 2 weeks ago. We are now in the process of trying to selling our house. I will be perfectly honest, I have really struggled with all of these changes.

Also, Jase and I are expecting a baby in the early spring! Yeah! Jarrod is very excited! When we told him he was going be a big brother, he replied, "In the morning?" No, not quite. I wish.

Anyway, please pray for our family, specifically that the house sells very soon, for our move to be smooth, for our teens and church family(these things can be painful), our baby, and for healing in our own hearts and minds. Jarrod is handling everything very well. We are planning to move up to Ohio near Jase's folks and he couldn't be happier to live near his Mammaw and Papaw D.!
