Cordelia is 6!

Finished strong

With the changes happening at the beginning of the new year, the church will no longer be a part of scouts. Edwin wanted to finish up everything he could. He worked really hard, and mom may have pushed abit too, but he was able to finish his Webelos and get his Arrow of Light.

Christmas PJ'S Early

I decided to Christmas PJ's early this year. I wanted to let the kids enjoy them all through the season. I think they were pretty happy with them.

Zacchaeus turns 4!

Temple Square Lights

We made it to Temple Square to see the lights, as a Family.

The kids 2nd First day of school

They may have gotten two weeks of because of the move, but they are up and ready to go this morning. Wish them good luck as they try to find their new classes in a new school and hope they make friends along the way.

Boxes

                               We went from having a Garage full of boxes ready to move in Boise.

To a basement full of empty boxes in Tooele to play with. 

the kids made a huge box fort.

Tooele Here we come!

These are pictures of the house we bought in Tooele. Soon we will all be together under one roof. Everyday!

The Moving Process

I came across this little write up about selling your house. It is exactly how I have felt about the whole process.  Our Move is finally happening. On November 4th we will be closing on the Boise house and making our Journey South to Utah.

The best tip I learned during our home sale was that God will provide and is in control of the entire process.  It might help to even visualize your house being sold in a timely manner.  When I say to visualize, I don’t mean in a new-age, positive thinking sense but to just have faith that God will provide because He wants good things for His children.

Trust that He already has a plan in place, even if some waiting is involved.  Pray in faith about your home selling, trusting that God already has the right offer in place and a new home picked out for you and your family.  This will make the process much less stressful to know God is in control of every aspect of this transition period.

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.  Jeremiah 33:3

My mother-in-law Kathy Peters is a realtor in Lake Jackson, Texas and it wasn’t that long ago I had the conversation with her that I was scared someone else would get a contract on a house my heart was set on.

She simply said, “If that happens, God is closing a door and that house wasn’t never ‘meant to be’ in the first place.  Then, God has a better home in His plans for you.” In retrospect, that home was way too expensive and I love our current home so much more!  The same applies selling your home as well…

If you do have to wait for your home to sell, you can trust that He is already working for your good to orchestrate circumstances perfectly.  He’s the same God that before Zacchaeus climbed the tree, he planted the seed for the tree to grow.  So, list your house and wait in hopeful expectation for what God has already put the results in motion.

Whether there is a waiting period or not, He has a plan and wants you to prayerfully wait and watch how it unfolds.  Remember that God has already worked out what you are worried about.

Midnight callers

We have been super lucky the last few weeks, Grandpa has been able to stop and say hello. It may be at midnight or later into the night but I love when I get a knock on the door from him and I can get a Daddy hug. There is just nothing better. 

Zacchy woke up during one of our visits and got a hug. In the morning I asked him about his visit with Grandpa and he said it was a dream.
