Grab a snack and get cozy

I have so much to tell you about.

A lot has happened in the last month and half since I blogged.  I am totally ashamed.  A month and a half.  That's embarrassing.

But let me redeem myself.  You are about to understand why.

Let's rewind.  You remember, I put my notice and quit my j.o.b.?  Well, we had been dealing with should we move or should we just stay put for about the last year.

How about on the day I put in my two week notice, an amazing couple came to look at our house.  The whole time I was showing my home, I was thinking in the back of my mind, "There is no way I am selling my house.  I just put in my two week notice."  And so they left, fully admitting that they would be shopping around.  I told them about places I knew for sale that may be worth them checking (I'm terrible at selling my house).

Then, they came back.  This time they asked a few more questions.

And then, they came back again.  This time bringing family.

You would have thought that I would have thought they are serious, but I'm just sitting around twiddling my thumbs.

Bam! They made an offer.

And panic and chaos, and the crazy OCD mom and wife went into overdrive.  She works hard for the money.

And Bam!  A couple from our church called and said they were about to put there house on the market.  Location: where we wanted.
Acreage:  what we wanted.
Bedroom/Bathroom ratio: what we wanted
Barn: check
Off the road: check
Fence: check

So we rushed out to check it out, and they took the sign out of the yard and said "We will wait on you."

And I'm thinking, "This is NUTS."

And it has been nuts.  It's been affirmation that God had his hand on our situation the entire time.

It was God's way of saying, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

He knew it was exactly what I needed, and He would know.  He designed me.

Bam! Bam! I got a perfect job at a preschool where I only work part time.  I passed the Praxis I and II, and this spring, I plan on pursuing an alternate route to education.

Can you say roller coaster?  Physical and emotional roller coaster.

So, I sit here typing you from our new home.  I plan on posting pictures soon.
