My computer has been down for a long while.  I finally bought a new monitor today and feel like I am finally back in civilization.  LOL!!!

Wow.  So much has happened since my last blog.  Our perfect farming life went by the wayside.  Seems the lady that we were buying the property from failed to tell us that she had also sold it to someone else.  We moved in before closing and allowed her to live in the rental house next door while everything was getting squared away.  We noticed she started getting "weird" acting about some things and we got suspicious, but had no idea she was doing anything illegal.  On Dec. 1, two sherriff's deputies along with a young guy appeared at our door and informed us we were tresspassing becausing we were living in someone else's house.  We were floored.  Now, we have a court case ahead of us.  While I don't feel it to be Biblical to sue or take someone to court, she owes us quite a bit of money back that we really need.  She could wind up serving time also.

However, in the meantime, we had purchased a doublewide to fix up in our spare time and use as rental property in the future.  Well, that doublewide is home for now.  Not the best of life, but it is what God has blessed us with for now.

Lessons learned in all of this:  1.  Just because someone claims to be a good honest Christian, doesn't mean they are.  2.  Check out anyone one and everyone you do business with (especially if it is over a $100,000.00 deal)   3.  Learn from lifes lesson so that you don't repeat them again!!!!!

On the bright side of things~ we are remodeling our home together as a family.  That has been fun.  I have painted rooms with each of my children.  I have hung wallpaper with my oldest.  Hubby and the boys are building built in bookcases tomorrow while Abby and I paint the living room.  We are really having a blast with this.  (The circumstances behind it makes it frustrating). 

Oh yeah, and our dog that had been spade had two puppies in the middle of our move.

Until next time.....
