and then some...


Oh my, where do I even begin....I have come full circle, "and then some" since my last blog post!  My world has changed almost as much as it did when I got married...
We FINALLY signed papers and received a check for our home the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  It was prolly the toughest weekend of our lives getting the house prepared for sale (another blog post all together, maybe, I am actually trying to forget about it-lol) and the lady still wasn't satisfied, but, our real estate agent wanted this sale finalized as much as we did and offered to finish all the little details for us.  We READILY agreed...;)


We moved into our very small travel trailer, which we parked at my aunt & uncles until Thanksgiving was over.  My parents had come to help us finish things up and move, so we stayed close!

We survived about 2 weeks in the, tiny trailer, and decided we may need to go and see about a bigger trailer with more living space.  If we were going to stay in it any length of time...this is what the Lord blessed us with!!!


Our new trailer with 2 slide outs....
The very first thing we did was put up our Christmas tree...lol

We moved the trailer straight to my father-in-laws property, in Vidor and set up house.  We have simply, LIVED every since then.  The relief and calm has been so nice!  I can honestly say it's been a long time since I have felt this care free and happy!  Weird isn't it? 

The 30 minute drive every day taking Preston back to school in Silsbee, isn't my idea of wonderful, but it's so worth it!  He loves his teacher and has flourished under her teaching, so am NOT rocking that boat!

Yes, we miss our old house..:(  Preston asked me the other night if I missed it?  I said "yes, but don't you like our new trailer?"  His reply was "Not so much!  We had alot of good memories in our house!" Oh my!!  I know God's timing is perfect though and am watching Him unfold dreams and plans in HIS time and not ours!  Also, watching Him open doors, even in small areas, that are making this transition easier to make!

 I LOVE MY TRAILER!

Very thankful for our family, who has supported us during these decisions. They make think we are crAzY but have never said...lol  Trust me, sometimes *I* think we are crazy, so I am sure they have....;)

So, as for now...we are living in our new "Casa" and loving every minute of it!  Living it up until God opens the door for our "next step!" 

Thanks for allowing me to open up my world to you....MUCH more to come...;)
