Today is June first, but I think the only thing that is remembered at our house, today, is that it's only 17 day's until Esther's birthday. (She's been counting down from 48 or so day's 'till B-D. Hum, I wonder if she's excited?). She'll be 8 this year. I heard someone say that time flies. I'm here to testify......IT DOES!
Here's a little peek at what's been going on around here:
*1* I ran again for the first time in 6 days and met my 2.5 goal again. It was easier not to look at the display. Thanks Heather! Next time I run I'll go for not as intense but longer time and thus more miles.
*2* Okay, I need to clarify about Lucy. She didn't die.....we gave her away! Sorry for the terrible communication!
*3* We got two guinea pigs to 'replace' Lucy. The reason being, the kids would still have a live, lovable thing, yet they wouldn't be as much work. The problem is.......our guinea's (Fluffy and Samson-both are males;) are soooooo messy! They spread their bedding all over the bathroom. Not sure if I mentioned but I love my house to be continually clean. Hummmm, sounds like a contrast to me!
*4* And lastly, we might be moving soon.......ahhhhhhh! For several years Ben and I have desired to have 5+ acre's in the close-in-but-still-country area. We also desire to be debt free so.....to do that we have a bunch of options and decisions to make in the next few weeks.
Here are some of our options:
*Sell and move out of currant house into a rental
*Sell but still live in and rent currant house
*Don't sell currant house and live here longer than we expected (like move in 2009).
*But then we wonder if we wait that long the market will just continue to get more and more desirable (and more expensive:), but then on the flip side we wonder if the market will come down and waiting would be better???????
We totally want what God wants first, but secondly we want to make decisions that will enable us to be debt free.........aren't those two reasons synonymous?
I'm going to thank you in advance for praying for us because I know you will! Have a great week-end!

We are in the exact same position! And we also strongly desire to move out to the 'country' with some land and of course a bigger house..our 1100 sq ft house isn't going to work for our 5 kids much longer! It's so hard to know what to do! Where are you thinking of moving? We want to move to Corbett.
My Sister lives in Corbett! It's sooo pretty up there. Yeah, your right the house will be bursting with five bigger kids soon!
When we move we'll be going to the Oregon City/Beavercreek/Mulino area. Close to the freeway/expressway, yet away from the metro areas.
God bless our searches! And PEACE to go with the search!
Thanks for getting the guinea pigs .. I'm sure that transition helped the kids! We'll just be looking at properties at the same time. We'll find out on Mon about pre approval. Love you, Mom : )
We will be praying for you guys. Keep us updated. I know God will bless you for trying to do His will. We love you, Heather and Boston
Hey, when you get tired of the guinea pigs, can we have them? Lickorish gets along with anything. :)
I had a guinea pig growing up, his name was Jeffrey. My dad would hold him on his bare chest and he would nibble on his chest hairs! ha ha!!!
We're praying for you and the house situation. God will bless you as he has in the past :)
Funny and a little gross Tina! :) Was Jeffrey the first name you thought of? He, he, he!
I can't remember how I came up with Jeffrey. And you're right...that was gross!!!
Hey....I said it was funny too!!! I think it a comicle name for a little pet......one of our was named Larry before we got him. (I found that name funny too)My Dad's name is Larry! Funny!
