Not one to toot my own horn but I feel awesome and my weight is melting off! So thrilled with this. Kiddos are doing wonderful and we are preparing to move! How exciting! We are only moving 25 minutes away but we will be in a bigger town. We will also only be 5 minutes from the grocery store and 2 minutes from the church the children and I have been attending since Hope was born. We love it there and my hubby will be stepping down as pastor here so that we can continue to attend church as a family because that is important to us. Since I am no longer teaching children's church there is nothing there for our children or anyone else's. Which equaled me trying to keep my 2 year old quiet and sat still during church. All the others were bored and not getting much out of it. They have quickly made new friends at the other church. The place we are moving we will either renting or buying in contract. That is up in the air until we can visit with her more next week. So between saving 3 or 4 25 minute drives back and forth from there every week and the extra hour in all off hubby's drive time that equals money saved in gas. But now we will also go back to having rent and utilities. Going to be weird after 2 years without it. I am excited for this new adventure. Also we are homeschooling 5 kids this year. Wow big jump from public school but we can't stand all the crap they are trying to bring into schools and taking God out. So this is the best decision for our family. So basically September 1st is our move date and I am planning to start home school a week later. I unpack super quick. Always done in 2 days or less. Can't think of much else going on at the moment. Just been busy with kids, summer, swimming lessons and a sweet snuggly baby. I have missed you all and I think I have caught up on most people's journals.
