Still trying to think of a cool name for my blog. I love my sisters "simply Judy" cute!
Maybe I will just keep changing it every once and a while. Not really sure I want to use my name? Hmmm...

Our house is sold!!!
We are thankful that the Lord gave us a buyer at the perfect time! I say this with some feelings of anger, sadness and frustration. We had to take a big cut on our asking price. I know now how everyone feels about this stupid market right now! But I feel that a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and that is GOOD. Our closing date will be December 1st. We will move in with John's parents for about four weeks and then it's off to Texas!
My emotions are still all over the place. I am so glad that movers are going to pack us and move all of our stuff to San Antonio. I don't think, no I know, I would not be able to pack up everything myself. I think the daily job of putting stuff in boxes would send me over the edge. It is so nice to give that task to the movers.
Right now I keep thinking about all the people I need to say good bye to. I have made a list. Going to try and work on this each week that we have left. This will be sad, but kind of fun to have a lot of friend and family time. My mom and I already have TWO movies we are going to see in December, can't wait!

Nice...
This week, on our weekly trip to Wally world, Ean was just so nice! While walking to the toy sect ion, he reach up and kissed Emma ,in the cart, on the cheek and said "Emma, you are so nice". To which she responded, giggling, "hee, hee". What a GREAT big brother!
Later that day, no I am not kidding, while Ean and Evan were playing Batman on the Wii, Evan asked Ean if they could put the Star Wars game in. Ean, who really never listens to Evan, says "Yes, I will put Star Wars in". Evan goes, "Ean, that is so nice". Now let me remind all of you that this changing of the games always comes with some not nice words and maybe, just maybe and hit from a fist or two. Evan, of course, had to yell up to me and tell me that Ean was being nice. I was VERY happy to thank Ean!
I don't know if the training is FINALLY working or if this was just to be a NICE day? But, I will take them when they come. Trying to remember the good! I really love my kids! Glad that the Lord remined me they really are going to turn out ok!
