We also found a place to live. I was really disappointed in my rental hunting at the quality of rentals and the prices they were. We just kept driving by dumps that were way more than what we were renting before. The place we found isn't exactly where we were hoping to locate, but we both liked it and felt good about making that our home. We will be really close to my older sister, which will be fun. The downside to our new place is that we can't move in until September 1st.
Last weekend my in-laws and one of my sister-in-laws watched the boys for Stephen and I so we could get away for our anniversary. It isn't until the 16th, but we thought it'd be best to take the opporunity now. We had a wonderful, quiet time to ourselves. Thank you Mabel, Lawrence, and Kimberly for taking care of our boys. We have been lucky to live near my parents for two and a half years and now we are lucky to live next to Stephen's family.
Vance will be starting kindergarten soon as well so as you can see we have lots of changes going on around our neck of the woods. As Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin said in a talk once, "Come what may and love it." Oh I will try. :)

I am excited we can be neighbors. We love it here, and you are not all that far away.
Things are looking up! That is so good to hear. Change can be hard. Eric tells me it's especially hard for you, like him, to deal with change. I am sorry you have to deal with it now, but look how things are turning out! You are right to remember Elder Wirthlin's talk. Don't we all have to repeat that quote to ourselves at certain times in our lives? Good luck with figuring out things with Vance and School!
Well, now you wait to get into your house. It is better to be waiting for that than to not have a job or a place to go to. Keep counting your blessings. It is the best way to deal with changes.

I think some of my biggest personal growth has come when my comfort zone has been pulled away from me. Good luck!
