Life Changes

I guess that since it is official now I should post about one of our many changes coming up. We are moving! Leland has accepted the journalism position at a brand new school in Mansfield. He is so excited about his opportunity. The principal is wonderful and the thought of all new "stuff" just excites him. We all went several weeks ago for his interview and then Leland and Ryland went last Friday and Saturday to sign all the paperwork and look for a house. He thinks he found one. It is a nice house really close to the school and at the right price. Leland's mom happens to be in the metroplex this week so she is going to go look at it today for another opinion. Leland took several pictures for me since I can't go myself yet. I trust him though so we'll see what happens.

We have been really busy getting our house ready to sell also. We have packed up as much nonessentials as possible, we had the living room, kitchen, and kids bathroom painted, and we have a lady coming over tomorrow to thoroughly clean. I can only do so much each evening before wearing out so it has taken a little longer than we wanted but we should be ready for it to be on the market this week. My father-in-law came to stay with me Fri and Sat (since my boys were gone) and he did several odd jobs for us also. Thanks to him again.

So we have a very busy month ahead of us. We're having a baby, selling a house, buying a house, moving, and finding me a job (hopefully a work from home gig) all in the next couple of months. But we are so excited about all of it. Change is exciting for our family so this is a very good thing. :)

Yes, post pics of the new school...that wasn't in the bunch you showed me yesterday.

This news brings mixed emotions for me...even though I've had more time to get used to the idea than others. It saddens us greatly that you'll be moving away from us, but we are so excited for this new opportunity of yours! We can only hope and pray that it brings much happiness to your family :)

I'm so happy for you guys. Could you come get our house ready to sell, too? Man, you were beating us with things to do this summer until today. I think we are tied now =)

Love you,
Kelly
