Our first week...

Well, it has definitely been a whirlwind week. Nicole and I made it safely down last Saturday night, while Chris, Jared, and our friend Shawn, made it down Sunday night. Nicole and I met up with friends down here that showed us around a bit. That really helped, since it included a trip to the grocery store! lol Coming into this move, we knew that the house was on the smaller side. It wasn't until after we were here and really started to unload the moving truck, that we realized how small the house really is. We have to make due for 7 months, that's when our lease is up. Otherwise, come March I will be searching for another, larger house to move into. Other than unpacking and shuffling boxes around, Chris and I have been doing the normal paperwork: changing auto titles and driver's licenses over to Florida...working on insurance...and oh yeah, getting Annual Disney Waterpark and Disney Quest passes. Yes, for those of you who are wondering, we have been in Florida a week now and have been on the Disney property 4 times! That is the life! We have heard from our friends up north about the cold, rainy days that they have been dealing with. We have been dealing with just the opposite. Florida has been experiencing record highs. I know, rough life, huh! Actually, we haven't been able to enjoy going outside much because of the heat. But I can say this, we won't trade the heat for the cold! The kids started bowling today. They are thrilled. Well, Jared is. Nicole, on the other hand, has come down with a fever. Not sure why. My guess is that it is partly because of the stress of moving and the lack of sleep earlier in the week. Hopefully, the fever breaks soon so that we can enjoy her birthday this week out and about! I will close by requesting your prayers. Chris headed back to Ohio this morning in order to go back to work tomorrow night. He hasn't had any nibbles for a job. Unless he gets an interview soon, we won't see each other until Thanksgiving. Please cover us with your prayers that the kids and I will continue to be safe and be able to start settling into our new life. Please pray over Chris as he is alone at the house....at least the kids and I have each other. Please pray that Chris will land a job before he is laid off. And lastly, please pray that the house will be finalized sooner than later. Blessings, B~
