Well, we moved! So we decided to list our house about midmonth in September and it sold full price in five days! That being said they also wanted to close by the end of the month... meaning we had to pack and box up everything, find a place to rent ASAP and move in about a 12 day period. It was totally the Lords faithfulness as we never would have moved unless he sold our house... which He did quite quickly. So He opened up a door for us to move right into a beautiful 3000+ square foot home, with lots of room for everyone (except Titus, it has a postage stamp back yard, yuk) but I have been running the poor dog faithfully, he put in over 40 miles this week alone. I was sooo overwhelmed with the quickness of everything I didn't know what to do. But praise the Lord for faithful friends and family who pulled together and somehow moved our entire family in one day. It was difficult for me or Zach to say "sure come on over and do this or that" when we weren't even sure ourselves. So thank you to everyone who did come and help and knew we needed it, no matter what we said! My mom was awesome she pretty much packed my whole house for me! Our GL Cody rounded up all the GL guys and they helped with the big furniture moving. Dan and Jordan Ackerman came and just helped move boxes, a total blessing! Dan our real estate agent brought his truck and moved a few loads for us, he is the most amazing man by the way, we truly deeply love him and his wife. Ben and Maralee and their kids helped us move and made food for everyone to eat, very thoughtful! Stephanie was the real lifesaver of the day. A true friend, she called and said "I am picking the boys up, taking Sloan to his soccer game, taking them all to lunch and to hang out for the day" which she did. Keri and Jeff brought us dinner for two nights knowing we would have no food, which we didn't. Thank you all so much.
So, we are getting settled and loving our new house. It is literally almost double the square footage of our last house. I will post pics soon of all the rooms, but I do have a couple to show you all.
The boys are loving the space they have had their friends Gabriel, Kaleb and Jadon over to play twice and they had so much fun in their giant toy room.
We are thinking about getting some fun family photos together for Christmas cards, but until that happens, check out the pics we took of the boys today at Flaming Geyser State Park.
Hope everyone is doing well, I will try and post again soon.

Those are the best family photos EVER!!!!! You have the most beautiful family! (Especially Zach! Heehee!) I'm glad we got to hang out tonight! You are the best! Thank you! Love you! (Yes, I'm still up, too!)
My Mom was worried about me while John was at the game too! She kept calling me and making sure everything was ok. It was so funny. I was totally fine. No baby still. :o) I knew kyle & chelsie were home if I needed anything too. I'm feeling pretty good today so far. :o) I'm having really low contraction (my dr. says they are on my cervix) so that is a good sign! I guess we'll see what he says on Wednesday! I'm very anxious! I'll have Gabbie call you or something when Asher is on his way. We had a fun lunch, it was SO yummy and good to get out with everyone. Hope you have a good week! maybe we'll see you wednesday! ;o)
