The move went very well. We had about 20-25 people show up Sat with pick-ups, trailers and vans. They also brought food!(lots of food!!) I was at the new place and Jerry was loading at the old place and it was all done by about 1pm. The women at the Cedar Ridge house had it all cleaned by the time we were done moving stuff. THEY ARE AWESOME!! Let me tell you, if you need something done there is nothing like good Christian friends. :) :) The weather was awesome, it was like a big party. God just has been working out details for us that I could never imagine on my own. Saturday in the midst of moving Dean asks me if we by chance need a dresser.( We have been looking for a dresser for Jared for months!) We don't want to spend much but don't want a cheap one that falls apart like his old one. So about 15min later Dean and Dianne show up with a good used dresser for Jared. Dianne was also one of the sweethearts scrubbing my floors at the other house.
Then...the guy who said he wanted Patch never came and never came so Saturday afternoon Jerry had to bring Patch into town. I was very concerned because I thought he would cause a big ruckus. They plugged in his boundary collar and let him loose. He searched the yard found his boundary and was as happy as a clam. The neighbor dogs were barking up a storm and he never barked back. By golly, Patch seems to be adjusting to being a town dog. We have a nice sized yard and he is doing well so we shouldn't have to put up a fence. You must know this is a God thing because I was convinced he would not work out in town. If that guy had not told us, several times, that he wanted Patch I would have taken him to the Humane society last week. Just so many reminders of how God's will happens despite us. My kids are thrilled(especially Molly) and I am too!!
I love the new house(even when I gripe about the yucky faucet) and the neighborhood is great. The streets a quiet enough I can let the kids ride their bikes up and down the street.
God is good!
