Moving Right Along

So.. a lot has happened since I last posted!  The Lord moved super fast on the selling of our house, less than 2 weeks on the market!! We had quite a few showings and nothing was panning out, I knew the Lord could change things in a day but we just kept on going about each day as it were normal, as normal as that is with 3 kids and keeping your house really freakishly nice all the time.  Sunday May 6, we were coming home from seeing friends after church, and we got a call from our realtor, saying someone wanted to see the house in an hour and half, and she assumed that probably wasn't going to work.  We told we could do it!  For some reason that morning I felt inclined to leave the house in MUCH better shape than on a normal crazy Sunday morning.  That evening, we got an offer, for what we had budgeted for, and they wanted to close May 31.  WOW.  So we accepted and it was GO TIME!! And quite frankly has been ever since, my Monday after was crazy busy with phone calls, moving out of state requires sooooo much more than your average in town move let me tell you.  But the Lord just seems to keep opening the doors one by one.  We got our inspection release last Saturday, wonderful to have that out of the way!  So we are moving Memorial Day weekend!!  I've gotten a good amount of packing done and it is truly amazing how much CRAP you can amass that you don't even use or need that you just store in your house, counting flat out trash.  So I was in type A, anal retentive heaven on dump day and goodwill day. :)  I was concerned about getting enough boxes but my bestest friend Katie had tons that she brought us in two different visits.
 Last weekend we had our last fun girls night. Saying goodbye was HARD, lots of Ben-Stiller-at -the-end- of- There-Is- Something- About-Mary crying on the way home.  To me, family means- people you love, especially those in Christ and sometimes you are related,  and a lot of the time, you're not.  Katie, you're my sister and the hardest person here for me to say goodbye to.  You are a true friend, and life has shown me those are far and few between.  No games, demands, just some honest freedom to be the person the Lord is making us to be for His glory and whatever that brings! I love you and I hope somehow you can find the strength to go on living a meaningful life in my absence. ;)
In other exciting news, today was Mitch's last day of work!!!  Exhale.  It's good to see glimmers of my husband back, more laughing, lighheartedness, enjoying his children more, a whole new outlook on life.  In turn that's huge burdens being lifted for me as well.  No one (other than Mitch himself!) has felt the weight of this stressful job like I have as his wife.  And it feels like a dream come true to have all of this happening!  So light so free, thanks be to the Almighty!!
That's all for now. :)
