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.

Answered Prayer!

God has answered prayer and I sold my accordian for $300! That will help us get Missie in school. God is so good. My mom bought her 2 uniform outfits. Paces are free since we will be attending and supporting the Frankfort church! God has just worked so many things out for us!

We have taken most things off the wall and we have filled in the nail holes. We started packing Preston's room today, got one big box packed. He got a bit stressed today when we started on his room. We did get his stuffed animals cleaned out and the rest packed and some other things. But he doesn't want any boxes in his room, LOL. He is a funny guy sometimes, LOL. But you gotta love him and love him I do!

It is winding down! Sat. we get the truck and get all the boxes out of here and some of the furniture. Then I will clean real good. I want it looking nice.

We were renting to own, but when we decided to move, it just went back to the landlord. He already has someone to rent to own; a mutual friend of ours and the landlord's. I don't feel we lost any money, we would have had to pay rent anyhow. I wish we could have gotten it in our name, paid Mike off, then sold it and made a profit to help us get started again. But the Lord will take care of us.

Missie is doing online testing here to see where she is at in her subjects and see what learning gaps she has. I am glad she can do this at home this week, and have that out of the way, so when we get her to the school, she can start right in the paces. I have talked to Bro. Coleman a few times, the principal, and he is very nice and accomodating!

Am just anxious to get on the road to IN and get there and get settled back to ordinary living!

So that is the update for this time!

Hi Norma,
What a busy time for you all at the moment but such great things lie ahead for you all. New opportunities, new friends and a new start. I am so pleased it is all coming together so well for you. Packing is tiring but it sounds like you are really well organised. Take care and love and prayers to you all.
