God Bless our Home

Packing up

Good sunday morning! We have not been going to our church since our pastor went on sabbatical. We went a few times and the "new" leadership seems to have changed things and it is not what we were looking for in a church. But all is well, I am confident God will lead us to a new church closer to our new home.

We are still set to move around Aug 17th or so. We have been busy selling tons of furniture and "stuff" we no longer need. I have sold most of it on Craigslist. I love that site...its like a free on-line classifieds for your specific area. I got offers on stuff sometimes just minutes after I had posted the items. We bought the kids a giant Rainbow wood play set last weekend on craigslist. We pick it up the week we move and I am sure Grandpa and Daddy will be putting that together shortly after we move in! Oh what fun for the kids!

So my once pristine house (especially while we were trying to sell) is now a certified disaster zone. Boxes, toys, tools, you name it.

I have been reading the book "Created to be His Helpmeet" by Debbi Pearl. Wow..it is so good. It really goes against everything society tries to teach us (females) about life, being a wife, mother, and especially a "good" christian woman. I have just tried to implement a few things so far and it has made a huge improvement in my marriage and in my attitude in general. I would encourage any woman to read it. Warning: If you are a liberal feminist type....you may have to take extra blood pressure pills while reading!

Ry turns three in a few weeks! I am thinking of having his party at the park since our house is such a mess. He got a new bed yesterday (craigslist again) it is an IKEA mid-sized loft bed with a slide...he got a real kick out of that. He was so proud of his "tall big boy bed". He slept in it all night no problem. We figure that would give him some extra space to play underneath of it as his new room has high ceilings but is actually slightly smaller than his current room.

Time to go and get ready for the grocery store!
