Friday 2/11

It might hit 40 this weekend! That IS the highlight of this blog post :). We've been running right along, busy with work, school, scouts, church, bible study, baseball and more. It seems like life is kind of crazy but the 'normal' kind of crazy if that makes any sense. Will and I have both caught the bug that's going around. For Will it was 3 days out of school with a high temp and for mom it's been losing my voice - a treat to those around me for sure. :) Will recovered just in time for his Cub Scout meeting and Valentine's party at school...lucky boy! We're thrilled that we've sold our house! Everything is going smoothly towards closing so far. We're planning to continue to live in Eric's parents' home for a few more months, while we take our time finding the perfect home for our family. We're so grateful for them allowing us to live there and the gift of time so we don't have to make rush decisions. We've looked at several homes and are exploring building, but haven't made any firm decisions yet. We have friends who are dealing with sadness and grief and our hearts are so heavy for them. One friend lost her mother very suddenly with no hint of trouble until she was gone. Other friends are dealing with a parent's serious illness. I'm so grateful that God is our strength. I'm grateful we can pray and receive comfort and peace. More pictures to come...this weekend, we have baseball practice, pinewood derby cars to finish, packing to start, storage units to re-organize and more!
