Sorry for not posting much lately but I have been on refreshing week away at my friend Amy's house in Lakeview in southern Oregon. It was nice to be away from all the stress of selling a home and the energy that it takes to keep up with all those little things. I come back feeling able to face it all and ready to pick it up a gear and pack my house up and move.
Yes, our house has sold finally to one of the original couple's who put an offer on our house. It wasn't the price we wanted but we did compromise on numbers we could all manage. It is likely that our house will close a week before christmas. We are preparing to deal with family issues that may be effected by our moving so soon before christmas. We are trying however to make the best decision for us and our child. We know moving several times will be harder on him than one big move so we have decided that when the house closes, no matter what time that happens, we will make our move to California. I think unfortunately, much to our families dismay. You see we live near both of our parents and my husband's siblings families, so this will be a very hard move for several families, but good for our future and things to come. We are very excited about all that is to happen in this next year and look forward to what 2006 will bring to us.
One of the things that stresses me so much is that I will have to go back to work. There isn't a day that goes by that I remember soon I will be working during the day and Josiah will be with my sister and her chidlren during the day. I am truly so thankful that we have someone we trust to watch him and he will love being with other children during the day, but it just means we don't get "our" days together anymore. You know all those precious moments, I will miss coloring, or reading books, watching Sesame Street together or just watching him run around and learn new things like dribbling a basketball. I will miss these days and am currently trying to soak in every moment and cherish them in my heart.
Well on another note, I am going to leave you with some pictures from my trip to southern Oregon. The first is a picture of my son's first encounter up close and personal with cows. My friend has 3 cows on her property that they raise for beef. The second picture is of some bald eagles that we saw on our drive home. When we first saw them they were about 20-30 feet from the road! It was spectacular! We did one of thos quick u-turns and whipped it back to the spot they were but they were already flying. We finally caught them as they stopped on a cliff to take a rest from their magestic flight.
Enjoy! and blessings to you and your families.

I am glad that you have reliable baby-sitting to count on---this will mean so much to you! All those moments will still happen---if God has you back to work He will provide in the areas that you may feel are lacking. Hang in there, it will work out!
Have a nice Thanksgiving weekend!
