Bunco!

I am determined to make the most of these last two weeks in Oklahoma, and last night was no exception. I went to Bunco at Summer Cope's house and had a blast! I didn't win anything, of course, but we had great food and great fun. Below are some pictures from the night:


Not sure what Leigha's doing....


I'm all about doing a "silly" photo, and this one was tons of fun to create.
Notice the careful editing :-)

More to come from my last weeks in the Sooner state.

Change is in the air...

Well, we are officially moving to Alabama! I can honestly say I never would have thought those words would escape my lips (or my fingers...), but here we are and I am really excited about it. We told our church family in Piedmont yesterday morning and there were a lot of tears shed. While this was heart-breaking, it was also a good thing because it means we have developed strong relationships, and that is always a wonderful experience.

Grant's last day will be April 25th, and we hope to move the following week. Our house in Alabama is beautiful! It is 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and sits on four of God's most beautiful acres. Buying the house was quite an experience since I had to go house hunting on my own. It wasn't realistic for Grant to take even more time off, which left me with the monumental task of finding and buying our first home!

I looked at 10-12 different houses in my three day trip, but it was fairly obvious which house was best suited to Grant and I. The house we chose is out in the country. You cannot see another house from any point on our property. We have a huge yard and then there are woods behind the house and across the road. I can just imagine Benjamin running and playing in the grass, through the trees. It seems like an idyllic place to raise our children (yes, CHILDREN! I want at least one more :-).
