Moving, Health Concern

Sorry it has been so long since I posted again.  Last week our family loaded up the van and took a road trip to Lockport.  It was a very productive couple of days. 

First, we were able to check out a temporary place to live while we are waiting for our homes to close.  At first it seemed no one would rent to us on a month to month basis, but Annie who volunteers in the church office heard about our situation and offered the parsonage of the AME church on South Street, one block north of the church God is good.   We checked it out and it will definitely meet our needs for the short term.

Second, we sold our house.  At least we have a contract on it.  We had three offers while we were in Lockport.  We accepted an offer that was not contingent on the purchaser's home selling.  If all goes as expected we should close on or before August 24.  We have an inspection scheduled for today--pray we do not have any unexpected fixes to pay for.  As soon as the inspection goes thru, we can begin moving forward with removing the contingency on the home on Union  Street in Lockport.  Also, we visited the home with the boys.  They loved the pool and were excited to pick out their rooms.

Third, we were able to register our boys for school.  Keegan, by the grace of God, got the last preschool spot available.  The boys we able to visit their school and play on the playground.  God is good.

I have rented a Uhaul for July 29-31.  We plan to load our home in Indiana on the 29th, drive to Lockport on the 30th, and unload on the 31st.

Finally, I went to see the doctor yesterday.  I have a large Kidney Stone that has been causing considerable pain on the right side of my abdomen.  The doctor will try to schedule surgery to break up the stone before we move.  Please pray we can get this taken care of before we move.
