I forgot the break part of Spring Break!

This Spring Break was busy, and we did not take much of a break.  We got a lot of stuff done for our "new" life. This is becoming our MO, change. For those of you who know me very well, you know I used to hate change and cried a lot whenever it happened. Thanks to my change loving husband, I am getting used to this word and action. I am actually very excited about all the changes that have happened and that are going to happen. 

Are you ready for this? Here goes:

Wes and I put our house on the market for sale 1 week before Spring Break started. 6, yes 6, days later, we got an offer that we accepted. The Lord is good. We are set to close the deal April 30. Things are progressing well, and the house inspection is scheduled for tomorrow at 2. I am nervous about this because our house is 100 years old. Yes, this means we will be homeless for a month while we finish out this school year. No worries: we have a PLAN!

During Spring Break, Wes and I went to Gulfport 3 of the 5 days. During this time, we were drug tested, fingered printed, documented, and paperworked. We also looked at what I think was 24 houses. Ironically, we made an offer on the 2nd to the last one we looked at. :) We got pre-approved for a loan, ate out, listened to 2 concert bands, and had dinner twice with a friend. 

So, yes, we are officially moving to Gulfport, aka Ghetto port, Gtown, whatever YOU call it. LOL! I am going to be the media specialist at Anniston Elem, a K-5 school, and Wes is going to be the Marching Director at GHS. We are both excited about these jobs. We are also excited about the house we made an offer on. It has a swimming pool, fenced in yard, large kitchen, sunroom, a garage. All of these are things we really wanted. I think Lillie and Ivey will like it, too. We are hoping to close on it May 11. 

So our plan is to move our stuff to the new house before closing, move our bodies and the cats to Chris Word's house for a month, and then move to Gulfport the beginning of June. I am going to work at the school to get used to everything, and Wes will do band stuff; I am sure. We are going to go to Oregon, June 21-July 6. Then, we will come back and get ready to start our jobs. We will see how it all plays out. 

I know lots of our family members are interested in knowing what we need or want for the new house. We are going to do a gift registry to make this easier. I will post these links here on the blog, as we get closer to the closing date. 

For now it is back to work! Until next time....
