Moving to the Big D

Well, we are moving to Dallas to follow a promotion Jared was offered. It makes us sad to leave my family, great job and doctor but we feel this is what God has called us to do. Tenatively I will be a stay at home mom for a year unless a teaching position comes available that we just can't pass up. Jesse is still due in June, late June. Jared and I are looking at houses in Carrollton or Plano on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Lifetime Fitness has more than exceeded our expectations in the moving process. We have never been moved before. Our house was put on contract with three offers after less than 24 hours. God offers his provisions in more abundance than I could have ever asked for. Our house is listed on Har.com if you are interested in seeing. We had three offers and still have people coming to stop to see if it is still for sale. It's in the ten day option period now and we are waiting on the inspection. Our buyer offered full price with 20% down. We feel confident but I will keep you posted. Praise the Lord! His mercy abounds! Pray that we find a rent home in a great neighborhood this week. Not many options but we are probably looking in Plano and I hear lots of nice things about Plano. Jared and I close on the house May 9th and we lease it back for a week until May 15th. My last day is May 20th at work and then Addison and I will drive to Dallas. The tenative plan is that Jared will move with our house May 6th or May 15th. Addie and I will stay here and have a co-worker, awesome friend and mentor we will love with for a week until time to depart. We have been abundantly blessed with family and friends offering to help us pack and move and pack my room at school. This whole thing is sure helping with the anxiousness I felt last time waiting on the baby to arrive. I hate surprises and I would love to just have our baby. Addison is being two but our potty training is progressing. She is doing a great job of doing Number 1 in the potty but Number 2 is still too important to do in our pants. She wants to be rocked to sleep now which hasn't happened in a while. I'm pretty sure because she knows Jesse is coming. She has a good idea about Jesse now, no confusion. But the moving is a different story. I told her we were moving and she replied, "To Pawpaw's house?" No baby. We will see. She wants to wear a princess dress and or a the same t-shirt for three to four days in a row. I think she takes after her daddy. She pulls clothes out of the laundry hamper and wants to wear them. She sings, "He's got the whole world in His hands". I've learned not to sing certain songs at bedtime because it riles her up. Funny. Videos and Photos to come. She is also quite the shadow to Jared, and my Dad. Wants to help feed the dog, water the yard and basically do whatever daddy does. Very cute. Enjoy and we will keep you posted.
