Well....we are moving!! O my! This week has been a whirlwind so far...for those of you that didn't know, we had been having problems with smoke coming in our bathroom for the past couple of months, and it was driving me crazy...not so healthy either!! I was especially worried for Jonas as smoke is a primary culprit for developing asthma and other health problems. We had to keep the doors closed and air out the bathroom when we could...not going to be so convenient when the Minnesota winters set in! So..... long story and many tearful nights and complaints later...I had been looking on the Bethlehem community board for the last few Sunday's (this "Craig's list" at church has served our family well, as some of you may remember, this is where I also found my nannying job:) I saw a posting for this condo in Mounds View...some missionaries whose daughter went to Northwestern and Bethlehem, needed renters while they were overseas in Romania for the next 4-5 years...they don't plan on living there again, but until they can sell, they just want to rent it! I went over to view it last Friday, told Jason about it on the drive up to the North Shore (made the camping trip a good time to really evaluate our situation and whether we were up for another move) We decided to do it!! The two-car garage sealed the deal for Jason:) The rent is less, the garage, a fireplace, and more space just makes it seem too good to be true! Thank you Lord for your faithfulness...4 days ago we were in a pickle, and now we are all set to move into a beautiful condo with no smoke and quiet neighbors:) (Have I mentioned to any of you the loud-mouth lady downstairs?? She screams so loudly at her boys ( for nothing, might I add, other than being boys) that the other day when Jonas and I had fallen asleep on the couch, she woke us both up!!--and the windows were closed, and we live on the 3rd floor)...grrrrrrrr.....I was ready to go down there and give her a piece of my mind, but I am glad that the Lord gave me patience and the ability to just pray for those boys...they don't have it easy, and at least I only have to listen to her once a day...they hear it all the time...why do some people even have children?? I am not so sure. Anyway, we are grateful and excited for the adventure ahead...we will be moving over the next couple of weeks, and would appreciate your prayers that all goes smoothly, that we get our deposit back, and that we are able to really get some good family time even during the craziness!!
