What a day!

Today was a very emotional day for me. It was our last Sunday at our church. Goodbyes are ALWAYS hard. Our pastor had us stand at the front of the church for everyone to come by and tell us 'goodbye and give their well wishes'. As most of you already know, we have met some awesome people here in Tyler and I really hate to leave them behind. We are really going to miss them! Last night our Sunday School class gave us a goodbye dinner at a cajun restaurant here in Tyler. It was about 25 of us and we had a really great time visiting with everyone without having to chase all the children around!

On a happy note, we listed our house on the market here in Tyler on Tuesday. It showed twice and by Saturday night we had an offer. They accepted our counter-offer and we signed a contract today. It was only on the market 4 days and had not even been advertised in the paper yet. We, of course, give God ALL the glory! That really gave us a peace to know that we are doing what God wants us to and he is paving the way for us. Isn't He good?

Daddy, momma, maw-maw Sue and Chuck came by today on their way home from a weekend at Canton and we sent the boys home with them for 1 whole week! I still can't believe we let them go. I am lost already! The movers are coming tomorrow to pack everything so we figured it was best to have them out of the house so they could work. Hopefully I will have most everything unpacked at the new house before they come back (to their new home). We will be leaving Tyler on Wednesday for the last time until we come back to visit.

Our new address:

16303 E. 47th Pl
Tulsa, OK 74134

I will let you know when we get our phone number but for now just call my cellphone:
(903)330-7708. I plan to keep that number.

Another Busy Weekend

Last weekend was really busy for us. We left on Friday and went to Jena to take our dog, Bauzer. We decided it was best not to take him with us when we move since our new backyard is smaller than this one here in Tyler. It is really strange not having him here this week. Our plans are to get a new small dog to keep in the house. We actually tried this when we got Bauzer but that was a disaster. Now looking back I couldn't even imagine keeping him in the house as big as he was and as much as he slobbered.




Heath got me a pistol for Mother's day (did I mention it is pink!) Yes, I wanted one; we plan to get our concealed handgun licenses when we get to Tulsa. On Saturday we went to the firing range and shot while the boys stayed with their Grammy. On our way back home Saturday evening we stopped at the Alligator Park in Natchitoches. It was a really neat place and the kids loved it! They had raccoons, goats, emu, birds peacocks, turtles, iguanas, snakes, deer and of course tons of alligators. As Austin said, "they had everything but frogs!" Kamden's favorite thing was feeding the goats as you will see in the picture. I think Austin liked the feeding show the best.











We will be leaving on Thursday to go to Tulsa to close on our new house. Our movers will be here on June 1st to start packing everything up. We only have 21 more days!!!
