Moving In Day! - Fun with Family!:)

Moving in wasn't quite as smooth as moving out, but it went pretty well...The biggest problem was the rain!! It did finally stop when we were unloading the majority of things so that was a wonderful gift from the Lord!! We had lots of help and we are so thankful for our sons and for our friends that came to help us!! Monica, Ryan and Adam we couldn't have done this without you guys and we really appreciate all your help!:) And I have to put in a special plug for Matthew and Ryan...My dad had a refrigerator that had been at my grandmother's old house and it was practically brand new the only problem was that it had been left turn off for several months full of food and such because my brother thought lightning had struck it!! Needless to say it had a horrible odor!! Tommy wasn't sure it would clean up, but it was new and we wanted to try...I mean it was free, who could pass that up!?! Well our son Matthew and his best friend Ryan spent most of the day outside cleaning the frig from top to bottom....they even went and bought lemon juice and baking soda to try and get all the odor out...and you have to understand this was no little odor...this was bad...really bad!! But much to our surprise they were able to get it all out and the refrigerator is like brand new!! I wanted to get a picture of them with the frig, but was never able too!! But I do have some pics of them doing some other jobs!:) Our house has also been filled with family this whole week and we have had the best time!! Tommy even got his dad as addicted to Wii bowling as we are!:) And the really funny part is Tommy's dad went out Saturday and bought his own Wii so that he could play the bowling more often...Tommy wasn't even sure his dad would play and now he owns his own Wii!! Too funny!!

Here are some pics of moving in and our family visits:

Saturday- Move in day it rained...and then Sunday - it snowed!!

Thanks to all who helped us move in and out!! And thanks to all who have been praying for us...please continue to pray that the Lord will continue to guide us as to where He would have us to serve Him!!

What fun pictures! I'm so glad that you all are beginning to be settled, and are able to spend so much time with family. It really is a blessing to be close to family, isn't it?

Love ya'll!
