coming up for air

It has been a crazy last couple of weeks.  I have not officially announced this on the blog, but we are moving back {yes, BACK} to College Station.  Because Chris can work from anywhere with Mercy Project, we decided to move back close to family so that when Chris takes his trips to Ghana, I will have more support from grandparents and aunts/uncles.  So, we put our house on the market at the end of August.  We found a house in College Station that we love and think is the perfect fit for our family, so even though our house in Rowlett hasn't sold yet, we are moving to CS on Sunday.  Yes, that is in 6 days!!!  So, we've been busy packing up our house with a 10 month old which makes things a little more interesting.

In the midst of all the packing, we have had probably 10 or 11 showings on our house {3 second showings but still no offers :( } which means picking up the mess and making the house look spotless sometimes multiple times a day.  All 3 of us came down with colds.  Chris went on his first official Mercy Project trip to Ghana and was gone for 10 days.  Micah and I stayed in Rowlett for a few days then went to visit family in College Station.  When we got to College Station, Micah ended up with her first ever ear infection and ended up at the doctor.  The next day I went to the doctor where I got a shot and antibiotic for bronchitis and strep.  Like I said, it's been crazy!

I have lots of updates that will be posted hopefully in the next few days, in between the packing and resting.  So, be checking back for posts about my trip to the lake with my college girlfriends, Micah's first visit to the pumpkin patch, and Chris's trip to Ghana/our trip to CS.  There may be more, but I can promise you that they will all include pictures of a sweet little almost one year old :)

Be blessed today.  And, stay well!
