Sing it with me.... "My GOD is so BIG... so STRONG and so MIGHTY..."

.....there's NOTHING my God can not DO!"

Today we got our moving truck lined up. We'd been wondering about who we could borrow a trailer from. Then we thought about buying our own utility trailer.... thinking it might be worth the investment. Our Worship Pastor had sent out an SOS for us, on our behalf... seeking anyone who would be able to help lend their muscles this weekend as we move things to store at our friends' house. I got an email from a guitarist that plays often when I sing. He just "happened" to have a 28 foot enclosed moving van with automated tailgate! What an answer to prayer!!!

So far we have 4 guys lined up to help and my friend, Amy, is going to have the kids so they aren't underfoot. Now, my job is to further pack and get everything ready for the big day on Saturday.


Today I packed up much of the kitchen stuff. I left out 3 cups, 3 plates for the kids, 2 plastic containers for leftovers, etc... The big griddle and rice pot, pitchers, and cookie sheets are all packed and ready to go. Another couple hours in the kitchen and it'll be done. So, that means I can leave it for tomorrow :)

The kids played in the sprinkler this afternoon. Mommy even got in too - which they loved. We all smell like sunscreen!! :) Which is a smell I actually like.


Eric is now reading to the kids and they've been bathed and are READY for bed - even down to their water cups already being filled. Last night bedtime was drug out and they took so long to calm down that bedtime got moved UP to 7:30 tonight! Which will make it nice for Eric and I to have a few hours together before it's too late.

Tomorrow is Eric's last day of summer school!!! The last 6 weeks have SURE flown by. The summer is quickly coming to an end. School starts the 25th of August this year and it certainly feels like it's just around the corner. All of our time is being measured by the few weekends left before then. I'm disappointed that we didn't get a few more things in this summer - but we did have some unexpected events that filled more time that we planned :) (MOVING!)


Oh, the foundation inspector has done the house and everything looks good. The appraisal should be done by Friday and we should have the report from that early next week. Then things will head over to the title/escrow company.


We are still praying that if it pleases the Lord and is HIS will, that we will be able to close and get keys early.

Oh, and if you want to pray for a kind of silly request here it is: we need to find a friend with a spare fridge or ROOM in a spare fridge for our fridge/freezer items.... for things like our ketchup, mayo, miracle whip, and other "cold" staples. I'll keep you posted on that :)
