Champions!

This weekend Owen had his last soccer tournament for the season. He had two games on Saturday and then two games today. They won all 4 games by alot. They only had one goal scored on them the whole tournament! The first game today was at 8 o'clock in the morning. We had about a 25 minute drive. Needless to say it was a very early morning. Jason had to preach in the 9 am service so the kids and I went to the first game and then came back for church. Then everyone went to the championship game at 1:00. We had to hustle to make it! They had a great time and Owen was a great goalie!

Well, the news is good. God is good. The house is officially sold!

The latest...

OK, so here is the latest news about the house. We signed papers today and then overnited them to Danville. The actual closing is scheduled for Friday, November 19th. We are so very glad that this time is coming to an end. Thank you so much to all of you who have prayed with us for our house to sell. We REALLY appreciate it. This Thanksgiving will be extra special as we thank God for coming through for us in this matter. Owen was so cute today as we sat at lunch. He made the comment that "God does know exactly what He is doing!"...even when we are at the end of our rope wondering what in the world He could be thinking!
God has taught me and my children too, that His timing is perfect and that patience truly is a virtue. Not saying that we've "got it" but we sure got some practice in it!
God is good and He has been so very good to us!

Better Late than Never!

We went to Peachtree City for Halloween. We went trick-or-treating with our good friends the Wards. This was our children's first time to trick-or-treat because in the past we have always had a fall festival at our church. Everyone had a great time. Ella was Minnie Mouse. Owen was Davy Crockett. Lettie was a cowgirl. They all got TONS! of candy. To top off the evening when we got back to the Wards we roasted marshmallows over a campfire and then made smores. We really had a great time!

House News!

We are hoping that by this time next week we will have closed on our Virginia house. There is a possibility that we could close tomorrow. Chances are very slim though. With today being Veterans Day, the banks are closed. That could set us back. If it doesn't happen tomorrow, we are aiming for the beginning of next week. We are so glad to be nearing the end of this year long journey. Please continue to pray with us that everything continues to move along smoothly.
