Hello everyone,
Yikes, I can't believe its been since February since I blogged. I have been so busy. We are living at the new place on the weekends and the kids are finishing school here during the weeks. I can hardly believe that we will be moving completely in less than 30 days.
Our house is complete there and I couldn't be more pleased (well there are still a couple of issues, but they will be resolved eventually). They finally got the blinds up this past week and they are just wonderful.
I miss all of you on Sundays, but we have been going to the baptist church there and we really enjoy the preacher and the program for the kids is great. So, we have one more church to visit before we make a move. Hopefully, we will have a home church as we are getting settled in the new house.
Happy Mother's Day to you all.
Love to hear from you all.

What to do?
Hey,
As most of you know I was involved in a car accident on the 9th in which I hit a dog. FHP came out and made a report. And I just thought that my insurance would take care of everything.
Well, my insurance people called and wanted a statement from me in reference to the accident. The only thing FHP gave me was a one page report and it didnt' have a whole lot of information on it. (Apparently, the trooper has a few days to turn in his official report). Well, the adjuster came out and took a look and sent us a check for an amount to a body shop. All this is cool.
My husband said I should call the owner of the dog and ask if they would file on their homeowners policy for the deductible. (We know who owns the dog). I cannot remember them giving their address information to the trooper, but apparently they did it sometime while I was in the car.
Anyway, I called her and asked her to talk over with her husband and for them to think about filing their homeowners insurance for the deductible. I told her to just call me back when they had thought about it. I was really nice and quite frankly, I did not want to alienate her. I love her and her son.
The problem.....today, I got a carbon copy of a letter that my insurance company sent to her asking her to call them as soon as possible in reference to this accident. I did not give the adjuster her address. I didn't even know her address other than it was on Bardin Road. I didn't know her phone number either. I had to look it up.
Now, it's going to look like I sicced our insurance company on them. When in reality, I did not.
I hate confrontation and conflict. My husband says not to worry about it because Florida does have leash laws and that they should be held responsible for the damage to my car because the dog was in the roadway. But I still am uneasy about all this stuff. Anyone with similar experiences?
Other unrelated information, we go on the 20th to view and close on our house. If all is as it should be, they will be delivering the parts and pieces to the land on Thursday and Friday this week. Then it should be 90 days until completion. I can hardly believe that this has all gone so quickly. We are over there almosst every weekend now and I miss all my friends. I guess this is just God's way of getting us prepared to leave for good in June.
I miss you guys, love to hear from you.

Cold and flue season
Hello everyone,
Just now getting to update my blog. Not much to say except we miss you guys. I am getting better from my bout with bronchitis. Still hacking and coughing but no fever anymore. Carl has double ear infections and they are gross. Chris is getting sick and I guess it's just a matter of time till Abby gets it again. Oh well, kids love to share, don't they?
We are spending almost every weekend in Ft. White now. And we will be there again this weekend. We are clearing and burning piles. It won't be long now before they deliver the parts of the house to the site and then it will be about 90 days till it is ready to pass inspection for us to move in.
It's hard to believe that it is February already, just a little less than 10 months and it will be Christmas again. Wow!!!!
Well, we love you all.
P.S. How is Mr. J im doing?

Hello everyone,
I'm feeling better, thanks for all your prayers and thoughts. I am not working today. Abigail is sick with vomiting and diarrhea. This is twice in the last three months. Germs, germs, germs. I try not to get so paranoid about stuff like that and I try really hard to be considerate of others and stay home when the kids are sick (no matter how much I miss going places), but it seems like this year, all the cruddy stuff just keeps going around and around and around and around without a break. Any of you moms know what I'm talking about or how I'm feeling?
We are going to visit Ft. White this weekend. The farm is cutting cows and the boys in my family are all excited about getting to participate in this activity. I think the girls are gonna stay at the camper and read or something. I can't imagine that cutting cows could be anything but gross, but what do I know. I guess they will have to get used to all this farm stuff eventually so we should go ahead and get them used to it.
I love all you guys. Can't wait to hear from you.

Hey Everybody,
Hope everyone had a great Christmas season. I am so totally glad that school is back in session....We had a great time on our journey, but is nice to get back to the familiar routine as well. The kids started in a new school and the first day went pretty smoothly.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hello eveyone,
Can you believe it? Wow. It is the year 2008. How many checks will I ruin by not putting the correct date on them? I can't even imagine.
We had a pretty low key New year's eve. We stayed home and sent the kids to be at 10:00 pm. We managed to stay awake long enough to kiss each other as the new year rang in. And then..............snoresville...>LOL. No fireworks for us this year. Just peace and quiet (except for the neighbors who were having fireworks). We just got back from a camping trip to Georgia and since he is off until the 8th, he is talking about going camping again this weekend. Difference.....the weather last week was nice, it is going to be freezing cold this one. Oh well, gotta go when you can. School resumes on the 7th and I for one will be glad to get back on routine and settle everything down.
Hope you all had a blessed Christmas and will have a blessed New Year as well.

Jesus is the Reason For the Season
My mother's family had their annual Christmas get together yesterday. We started at 3 pm and wound down around 8:30. It was good to see everyone again. Sometimes, this is the only way we see them for the year. It is a time filled with glad tidings and lots of noise and love and food. Jesus is the reason for this season and I thank him for all he had done for me and my family. I got to spend a lot of time with Autumn. She even cooed at me once or twice.
Carl had been invited to a Youth party at the Hayes house. Man, I thought I lived in the woods. Anyway, I took Carl and dropped him off there and returned to finish up my family's get together. They had fireworks again. That's kind of become a kind of tradition each year for the kids.
After that, I took Chris and Abby to pick up Carl and we wound up staying until 10 pm. What a wonderful time we all had. I got to fellowship with people from my church and it was so much fun. The kids had a great time. They played and danced and we all ate. It was fabulous. Thanks Hayes family for having us in your house.
As I was going to church this morning, I was happy to go. Excited to be almost there at God's house. And then the nagging in my mind began. "Better enjoy it while you can. You won't be here next year." I am resigned to following my husband to Ft. White and am determined to bloom where I'm planted. I just feel such a sadness at leaving all that we have established here. I know that God has a plan for us where we are going. At this point though, it is still painful for me to think about. Please be in prayer for Mrs. Ginnie's daddy. His pet scan showed that his bladder area is clear, but they found a spot on his lung.
I love all of you and will be blogging again soon.
