This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

News Flash!!!

I ended up staying home with Preston and Jr. and Missie went to Indiana. They are very happy with what they are seeing! They liked the house, and it has a back yard, garage hooked onto the house, front porch, small back deck, back yard, quiet town and best of all, 3 bedrooms. They met the pastor and associate pastor (associate pastor has the house we will live in) and saw the school. Missie is soooo excited. Several children in the neighbor ride their bikes to school; the school is pretty close. That will solve the problem of not having a 2nd vehicle right now. Tomorrow all day, Jr. will be trying to get a job. He has put a lot of applications in online, so will follow up on a bunch of them. It looks very promising that we will move! Preston was excited when he found out about the front porch with a roof on it and the mailman brings the mail right to the porch! He can sit out there and wait for the mail each day.

Just had to share!

It sounds wonderful Norma - it looks as though this is the path you will be taking full of new possibilities. The house sounds ideal, the school is close for Missie - I am so pleased this is all happening for you all and I'm sure Jr will soon find a job that will complete the new life for you all.
Also love the idea of the porch and Preston waiting for the post. So pleased he is looking forward to the move.
Take care and blessings to you all.
