Been a long time

A lot of things have been happening in our lives!! Where do I begin?

Well, first and foremost - we are moving to Texas next weekend!! Jason got a job in Granbury, TX and we'll be living with my oldest sister Marti and her family for a while (hopefully not too long to outlast our welcome). I'm so grateful for them letting us into their home. We wouldn't know what to do without them!! Thanks Marti, James and Josh! We still have to sell our house in Alabama which has been on the market since mid-October right before Jason moved out to Texas. There was an open house yesterday and we'll find out how well it went later today.

Courtney's softball season with the Bombers is over. They didn't win any games but had fun and came together really well as a team. Hopefully there will be an end of the season party this Saturday or at least before we leave.

CJ turned 5 in October!! I'm not sure where time went. We had his party with some of his friends at the Trussville Park. He had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. Also, CJ's last day of Pre-K was Friday and he got to do his Thanksgiving Feast. He was so cute dressed up like a Indian! I did take pictures but haven't downloaded them as we left for Texas early Saturday morning for the week. He was so sad to leave but we'll be able to visit school one last time before leaving.

Other news....Jason had another experience deer hunting - with a Kia this time and the Kia AND deer lost. His car was totaled and we've learned now that it was an 8 point deer not a 4 point deer!! The deer just commited suicide...that's our way of thinking of it. We are VERY lucky that Jason was uninjured! No scratches, scrapes or bruises. Thank God for that! So today, James is taking Jason out looking for a truck! Jason needs a BIGGER car so hopefully they'll find something we both can live with.

I will share pictures once everything is downloaded and I have time. Once I get back to Alabama...it's packing boxes time. Thankfully Mom (Jason's mom) is coming to help on Tuesday Dec. 2nd and will drive with us here on Monday Dec. 8th. Jason actually flies to Alabama late Sunday afternoon to drive the U-haul. Most of the kitchen is already packed - THANKS Rhonda for all the help!! Just the rest needs to be done (some scrapping items have been packed too).

That's it for now - sorry it's so long.
