This week

This afternoon, I will drive to Ft. Worth and drop Jeremiah off at my parents house. Then I will join David in Irving for the 75th Annual Irving Chamber of Commerce Gala (complete with champaign and fireworks -- David says it's for my birthday). We are staying at a hotel there and then will go to the new house in the morning for the inspection. I will then go get Jeremiah and head home.

Today Jen will be here at our house when Samuel gets home from school. She will stay here till Brad & Laura arrive around 6. They will take Samuel to dinner and then put him to bed. Stacie will arrive about 9 and spend the night. Then she will take him to school in the morning. We have an amazing community!!!

I have been in touch with a lady who lives in Irving. She is the director of a preschool that we're thinking about enrolling Jeremiah in. She is also a member of the PTO where Samuel will go to school. (I found her by recognizing her name from the preschool website when I saw it on the PTO website -- crazy!!) She also has a daughter in the dual language program, 2nd grade and we are arranging a time over Thanksgiving holiday for our kids to meet -- that way Samuel will have at least one familiar face on his first day. What a blessing!! She also told us that there is a family that lives on the street where we are buying that have twin 3 1/2 year olds -- the Lord is soooo good!!

Brad & Laura are the couple who are moving to Irving with us. They may have someone from church who wants to buy their house. How awesome would that be -- and this other couple is in our comgroup so comgroup would just continue to meet at Tiltonia after B&L leave. Laura applied for some jobs this week -- pray for that.

God continues to confirm our move. But, as it was the last time we did this, that doesn't seem to make it less painful -- well maybe it does. Maybe I don't know exactly how painful it would be b/c I've always had the confirmations. Nonetheless, it's still really hard! I've been pretty weepy the last few days.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers! We couldn't live without them.
