Hedo is one smart dog...

So the wind blew open our not so closed gate yesterday. I freaked out when I got home and started my search for the two labs. I checked up the hill where we take them to be able to take them off our leashes...no. Looked up and down the straights around our rental...no. Looked around the main road...no. Prayed. Then thought to go check our old house. It's about 3/4 mile away. Then I get a call from my friend Glen asking if I was missing something. I told him yes..the dogs had found their way all the way back to our old house and were in his garage!!! I'm sure Belle just kind of followed Hedo's nose all the way back. I was for sure impressed. So Glen had put the dogs in our old backyard as we are still waiting on the funding and then signatures tomorrow to go through.

About this rental...we are simply biding the time until we get out of hear. It really doesn't fit us too well. Oh well, it was hard to find four bedroom homes. The builder just put in our foundation. So maybe about 9 weeks now.

So, I've never had good blog titles to attract

more people to my blog. Oh well. I guess I can't be perfect at everything.

So everything is going smooth on selling our house!!!

It looks like this will go through. We are kind of anxious of having to be out in two weeks, but we'll get it done someway and somehow. We will probably go get a storage unit tomorrow and will start taking things over. The rental unit won't be ready until the 22nd...so we have a short time frame to get things completely moved. It will be crazy, but so worth it in the end.

Quick update on life-

Funeral went well out in Sacramento. It was good to see some family I have not seen in forever. I honestly did not cry as much as at Anna's dad's funeral. It just doesn't make me that sad when he had a good 80 years to live. He was a good man at heart.

Court to set adoption date is next week...we are very excited. The girls are sweethearts and I think G wants to as well. It is very saddening but exciting at the same time. It really rips our hearts in two directions. It's been crazy to have five kids, but we've managed with God's help.

We may be leaving the house in a few weeks if the current offer on the house goes through. We just had the inspection today with the appraisal coming up. We will be renting until our house is built in the end of May or beginning of June. We'll be posting pictures for sure as we will watch every step of the way. It will give us tons of room for the kids, future kids, grandparents..., and other guests. It is very exciting. We have been so blessed. Both of our jobs are great.

Exercised four times already this week while burning over 1000 calories each day. Hopefully that can get me going in the right direction. I've been eating breakfast more as well.

Moving sucks. It's very nerve wracking and crazy. Due to not doing much for the past week, we are going to have a heck of a time the last two weeks before we have to move out.
