MOVING DAY!

I can't believe it is here!! I am happy, sad, excited, nervous, and stressed all at the same time. We picked up the moving truck (the largest they have) yesterday, and have started putting all "non essential" items in (i.e. I had to beg Josh to leave the bed and fridge off for now, since we aren't leaving for at least another 24 hours!). My inlaws (bless their hearts) are coming down today to help us load everything, and then tomorrow we will make the move. I can't believe I will be spending my last night in this house! I love this house so much! We have had so many memories and so many good times here! I know this is the right thing to do, but it certainly is difficult.
Since Josh will probably pack the computer as soon as I put it down and turn my back, I won't be on for a while!
Keep us in your prayers! And thanks in advance to everyone who has volunteered to help us move, here and in north Alabama. Yall are awesome!

A loop hole

Ok, so I was flipping out, thinking that I was going to be homeless in a few short days, if this deal in Mobile doesn't close soon (which it appears is NOT going to happen). But, thanks to an awesome idea by my Mom, and our great real estate agent's help, we are going to be able to rent the new house from the sellers until closing! That makes me feel so much better! I did not want to have to move our stuff from this house to a storage unit, only to turn around and move it from the storage unit to our new house in a few days. Looks like we won't be homeless after all! Yea!

Feeling better,

Mel

Delays

Ok, so even though we have an accepted offer on our house here, and they have approval for their loan, apparently there are like 1000 other things that have to fall into place before this can close, and time is getting short! After this deal closes, we still have to close on the house in Boaz, and all of this needs to happen before the 26th, or Josh and I will be homeless!!
On another note, I can not believe how much stuff we have accumulated in the four years we have been here! I don't think there is any way that two people need this much stuff! Every time I think I am getting somewhere with the packing, I find a whole new mess to deal with! I am running out of boxes and patience!!!!

Can you tell I am stressed?

Houston, I have a job!!

Well, I finally made a decision!!!! I know...it's about time, right? I am taking the home health job. I can't believe I am doing it, but let's just say it was an offer I couldn't turn down! ($$) I am susposed to start work May 26, and Josh's first day of class is that day also. We also have an accepted contract on our house here, which is awesome, since we didn't even list it, ANYWHERE! God is just too awesome for words sometimes!!
Well, I have a lot to do....packing, paperwork....Fun!
More to come as I know.
