A Quick Update of the Past 31 Days

Well, boy have we been busy!!!
We have gotten moved into our new house, Benjamin stared his new promotion, Grandpa & RaRa came to help us get settled, we celebrated Easter, we had friends come in town and stay with us for a visit, and we have had the Stomach Flu going through our house.

I don't think I need to say more. : )

We have had a great time getting settled into our new home, but we have been very busy. I'll try to give a quick update on everything.

Things with our new house moved much more quickly than we had expected. We had been told that all of the government loans that we were getting had been frozen so we had settle that it might be days or weeks before we would get to close and move in. BUT, they called us on a Tuesday and told us that we would be closing on Friday and moving in on Saturday. Boy, was that a shock! I think we had like two boxes packed. We weren't prepared at all. However, God is Good. We had lots of friends and church family come on Saturday and Sunday and help us get all packed and moved into our new home. We are finally settled and loving it!

On the following Wednesday RaRa and Grandpa came in to help us get settled. We were so thankful and they helped us get what would have taken us weeks to get done in just a few days. Not to mention that Emma Claire was thrilled that they were here. We got to celebrate Easter together and take Emma Claire to the Easter Egg Hunt at church. Check out all the pictures I posted.

Benjamin started his new job on April 1st and it has been a very busy time for him. He is now the Director of Student Development at Southeastern. He has had two conferences to oversee and we have a attended a couple dinners at the school. He seems to be doing a wonderful job but please continue to pray for him as he learns his new routine. With more responsibility comes more stress.

This weekend we have had some friends fly in from Montana for a visit and we have all passed the Stomach Flu around. On Thursday where I teach preschool we had 13 teachers out with it, Emma Claire got sent home on Friday, I started throwing up on Friday Night and Emma Claire on Saturday Morning. No fun at all!!

On Tuesday, we will have big news in our house!!! We will be going at 10:00 that morning to find out if we will be having a little boy or a little girl. We are so excited to find out and can't wait to tell everyone. I am very ocd about having names picked out but we have been so busy that I haven't had time to nail down what we will name the new little one. Hopefully, by Tuesday we will know so we can start calling our precious baby by name. Don't forget to vote for what you think the sex will be. : )
