closer to closing...

I am quite sure that Allison is feeling that closing date closing in...my evidence? We had a garage sale this weekend. Never before in her life has she had anything to do with a garage sale. Then Wednesday of this past week she said, "I'm going to put an ad in the paper, get a permit, and have a garage sale...Saturday!" She has been a warrior lately, packing up boxes on a regular basis, staying up late, and making trips to the storage unit in Ft. Worth. But given the information that I was having oral surgery on Friday and she picked the very next day for the garage sale, I have come to the conclusion that the prospect of moving to Ft. Worth has caused something not all-that-unlike her maternal craziness that kicked in just before Case arrived in April of '06. It is actually pretty magical to watch, especially if you are on a regular diet of Tylenol 4 pills...
Here is a picture from the garage sale...she made a pretty good chunk of change, I might add. That's my girl.

We are in prayer...asking God to lead us to our perfect house...and to allow a smooth closing on our first house here in C, a house that has brought many joys, the house that 2 years ago we brought our baby home to....it is a bittersweet time, but we are excited and like I said, prayerful about finding a wonderful,new place to call home.

Proverbs 24:3-4
"By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures."

Well, if all goes well we will close on our house in early August, so until then I feel quite sure we will be very busy, packing, trying to decide where in FW we will live...Not to mention preparing for the beginning of another school year!
I'll try to post a pic here and there, but for the most part we're going on summer hiatus! love ya!
