crazy life

Well all I can say about these last couple of weeks are crazy! We finished packing up our belongings and picked up our truck on june 22. That night the Elders quorum and some of my friends came over and we loaded up the truck and finished up some loose ends and say bye bye house around 10:00 p.m a lot earlier than we expected which was nice. We stayed at my friends house and we wanted to leave around 3 in the morning but that did not happen we left around 9 which was nice. We got to laramie around 4 and met up with some friends and immediately Brick threw up. we thought maybe it was car sickness but it proved otherwise. We stayed in laramie and we were once again going to leave early in the morning but something on our car broke and needed fixing so we set off to find someone. everyone told William it would take a day or so, I kept telling william call this guy. His ad says Honest and fair price. needless to say the guy was a member of the church and he was able to get the part and fix it right away. We got on our way around noon, Brick was still feeling pretty weak. I really don't remember too much about our trip it just felt like it went on and on and on. Some highlights were
1. Going under the same bridge 3 times ( williams fault)
2. second night Jonah, Londyn, and myself now have the pukes
3. Finally finding Phineas and Ferb DVD after looking everywhere
4. making it to parents around 1:00 sunday morning( not part of our plan)
5. William threw up once...
6. Going to Oxford ohio and getting lost 3 times!
7. Attended a meeting for section 8 housing and basically was told good luck finding a place in your price range. 759.00.
8. Finding a nice home but lady wanted 14,000 a semester( Little bit out of our range)
9. Finding another nice place but it was 50 feet out of ohio which was a no go for section 8
ba10. Finding an amazing place with 5 bedrooms, huge backyard, sunroom, basement, back deck , wood floors etc. Amazing even more amazing the lady is willing to rent it to us for 759.00 a month for 3 yeard which is how long she will be in the middle east
10. spending 5 nights at Austins and Erins Thanks guys they helped us stay sane through this crazy move
11. finding out the house passed inspection and we sign the lease on Monday
12. Knowing that in about a week we will finally not be homeless anymore!!!! Yeah I am sure I missed a ton but most importantly we have been blessed by this experience in many ways.. We were supposed to come to Oxford so I knew without a doubt that the Lord would provide and sure enough he has... we are soooooo grateful for many of the tender mercies we have recieved during this journey! Thanks to all who have prayed and helped us along the way! We love you all
