We have moved!

God is so amazing. We LOVE our church body. Not because we had a huge turn out of people helping us move, but because they truly love us and care for us and because we truly love and care for them. They are our family! They serve with joy and that just makes me smile. What a testimony this church family is to me.
We moved yesterday to our new place. We all feel so at home here already. We love it! I will post pics soon. I need to get things put away first.
The boys were especially blessed today. When we moved to Crestview 2 years ago, they had to leave behind their basketball goal because for one, we didn't have room on the truck, and for another, our lease for our home didn't allow them to have one. So for two years they have not played basketball. If you are from Indiana, that is what you do is play basketball all day long, every day! The boys have been so good about it all though. Well our new home has a huge cement patio out back just perfect for a basketball goal so Johnathn has been mowing our neighbor's yard to make some cash to save for a basketball goal. Would you know that today, our first whole day in our new neighborhood, our neighbor here had a basketball goal for sale for $40! So Johnathan went over and bought it right away and came bringing it home and set it all up. He was expecting to spend $150 on a new one. God just amazes me how he blesses us with the little things. God is so kind! Nicholas was thrilled to death to be able to play shirts and skins and get all stinky. Why do boys love to smell bad? It is like they are proud of this odor they produced . . . .I guess it does take some effort. Anyway, I was just in awe of God today in how he provides the simple everyday pleasures for us to enjoy. We don't deserve anything but he blesses us because he loves us so.
