So much going on and its only Monday!!

Ok, so last week was a rough one for me, as I was just struggling with waiting on the house and situations at work and the kids school and then sleeping on the floor for a month is annoying. Bless my family's hearts, they put up with me. Well, after yesterday at church and God giving me a good spanking, I had decided that I really need to be better at being a good steward with the situations and relationships he has already given me and not worry about the rest.
So, we were going to sit down and talk tonight about how we could be better about praying for one another and holding each other accountable as a family for honoring God.
We had that planned last night. Well, we woke up and I started sewing for Hannah's birthday outfits and talked to Cheryl, our house helper, and she had some paper work for us to figure out who we wanted our home insurance with and who we wanted to inspect the house when we finally got the word from the bank.
Well, I went to work and after getting off, I had a message from her to call her back. She said when she answered, "So, how about one week from Friday?" i said , 'for..." She then proceeded to say that she had gotten word from the seller's that the bank had gotten to their file and had finally given the thumbs up for the sale. i started to cry. Just remembering that God does care about the desires of my heart, even when i am stupid. :-)
Upon a full afternoon of phone calls, the appraiser is going out in the morning to officially make sure the place is of value and the home inspector will pay it a visit Wednesday at noon, which chris has off, so he is looking forward to seeing where everything is and how it all rates. if all that turns out ok, we are set to take ownership the 16th of may. Hannah is so happy. For her birthday, she is getting a house where she can make a beautiful flower garden. Well, after all that excitement, we are sitting around the table talking about our lives and how we can be better at being available for one another and the conversation about Nathaniel and baptism came up again. He said, I really want to be baptized. i really want to be what God wants. " After Chris asking him some basic questions of faith, we are very sure he is ready. so, it looks like this week just keeps getting fuller. Nathaniel wants Chris to baptize him, because, "they are best buds, and he knows his dad is always there for him". so, it looks like our week runs as follows. Home inspection Wednesday, thursday and friday are birthday party prep, for hannah's party on saturday for her and her little friends, followed by our one last walk through of the house Saturday afternoon and mother's day supper at aunt glendas, which will follow with Nathaniel getting baptized Sunday maybe. We are still working out all the details on that. We thought it might be neat to do it at Brent and Sarah's church, since that is available to us, but we just don't know. Chris hasn't gotten ahold of Brent yet. Then the following week will be Hannah's actual birthday and we will take over the house in blanchard. That saturday is Leah's college graduation, followed by a wedding shower for her and Alex, followed by the kids and I's last week of school and moving into the house. Chris took off the last week of may and the first week of June. he is hoping to get us settled into the house and out of here by then. Then we are off to Grand lake for our anniversary and hopefully to make a jaunt to Joplin to see the Bonds and the Hill family. Upon coming home from that trip, we will have a few days until we need to turn around and head back to Kansas where the kiddos will be ring bearer and flower girl in Leah and Alex's wedding. After that, our lives should come to a stop. So, if I don't get on in the next few, that is what is going on here. it is only Monday and wow, so much has happened and so much is going to take place!! I am so thrilled!! God is good all the time and he is SO worthy of our praise. I hope that you agree!! Miss all of you and will write again soon!!
