I also guess I should read my own blog
I just re-read a post that I put up about our housing search and I realized I should probably update that. We FINALLY found a new place to live after over a year of looking. God is so good and He really does take good care of us. We're in a great new place in a quiet neighborhood and we have not one, but two yards for the boys to play in. In the line of hearing where God is directing me or speaking "yes" or "no" I think what I learned is when it's what God has, you just know....if that makes any sense. The place we ended up getting really fell into our lap. Like God was keeping it aside just for us. We had applied for a different house with no yard and the owner was going to try to sell it in a year and we would have to move in right away (which means we pay double rent) and we thought we had it nailed. Turns out another family got picked and we were crushed. I was ready to give up and just decide that God really doesn't listen or care what we need for our housing....the search had gotten that frustrating. But God always knows whats best in spite of my dumb questioning and doubt. The property management company that we had applied through really like us (it's great to have really cute little kids, by the by) and they said that they wanted us to look at another house. So we said fine, we'll give it another shot. Not only did we love the new place more than the other one, but we wouldn't have to pay double rent, it had 2 yards, and it hadn't even been listed anywhere yet. We basically walked in and said "we'll take it" and it was ours. Even better, the owner of the original house we had applied for decided at the last minute that he wanted to sell now and so no one got to move it. So God is so good that He gives us a perfect place right when we need it AND if we had got that other place and then been told we couldn't move, we would have been absolutly crushed and I think I might have lost it all together. So, in the end, God knows what He's doing just like always....I just have to remember that He'll give me the hook up in the end.

I must say that your house is definately a blessing to you guys. It was awesome. However, your carpet is destined for disaster being that light and having two boys... well and you too Scotty. I do recall you spilling pretty much every drink you put up to your mouth. Good luck with that.
Yes. I think fondly of all the spots on my floor. Carpet. Bibles. Etc. All with your name on them. Or Jenny's. But mostly yours.
Good times. Every one of the spots was worth it. :)
amazingly enough, i've been delivered from my spilling demons. at one point, heather was going to give me a sippie cup so thats when i decided to get better.
when you sold that house, louie, did you just say that your carpet was "coffee brown" instead of light tan?
Actually, we ripped out the carpet & replaced it... it worked better. Good times.
