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.

It's May!

It is already May, and we get possession of our house the week of the 16th and will be moving that week. I haven't done a lot of packing yet. I have done some, but can't pack Preston's room til the day we move it. We have to keep his life as normal as possible til moving. Jr. has 2 vacation days he is gonna take off that week. We found out that we don't have to pay any deposits on gas or utilites. That is a huge plus, and we are so thankful. Jr. is losing some of his overtime, maybe all of it, but 40 hrs/week is more than some people are getting! We are thankful he has a job!
I am posting some pictures of our house. It has lots of room! We are hoping we can get some more furniture and replace our couch from yard sales hopefully. It will take time, but we don't have to rush.

Missie is working at DQ and loves it. She got her first big paycheck and was so thrilled. This summer she will work a lot more hours. This week she works 4 days instead of 3. She got this job by putting in applications and then checking back on her application. She is becoming a responsible young lady. She is almost at the end of her junior year. Unbelievable. She is dating Connor, who goes to our church and he attends our school too. What is really hard to believe is that his last name is Watson, too, but believe me, he is not related to us, lol.

Preston is doing great, not really keen on moving, but not going to pieces over it, either. The new meds. are doing so well for him. He is gonna love his new room, it is so big and has 2 windows in it! He is still collecting VHS. He has enough to open a little store, lol He also likes to buy computer games if he finds any he doesn't already have.

I will certainly take pics of it when we get in! Pray for strength and energy to get moved!
