Big Exciting Changes!!!!

It's been a while.... at least six weeks. You want to know how I know??
I'm holding 6 week old Miss Roo on my lap. :) Her nickname for the blog doesn't start with a "B" like the others, but it fits her and I couldn't resist Boo and Roo!



I couldn't ask for better siblings for Roo. They love her so much. Boo will even try to offer her pacifier to her if she's crying, which in my book is the biggest sacrifice anyone could ever make ;) Boo is very attached to her pacey (something we're working on :) )

Our little family is complete and we couldn't be happier or feel more blessed with the beautiful children God has given us. 
Life with 4 children under 4 is... something else!! lol. I am NEVER bored to say the least. I'll do a post about a day in the life pretty soon, but onto other news. :)

WE'RE MOVING!!!! 
Four months have come and gone since we've moved in with my parents. We have been able to take care of the majority of our debt, and we couldn't be more grateful. 
The week Roo was born, we felt strongly led to start looking into a house to rent. We were very drawn to a certain town because of location to my husbands job, and pricing. 

The first house we went to look at we really liked. It was a 3 bedroom, 1 bath for a great price. The landlord told us that 15 other people were also interested in the house, and to fill out the application ASAP if we were interested. 
We did with little hope because of our still low credit scores and not any references. (The place we rented at before, the landlord tried to take advantage of us when we left. He charged us for things we'd already paid, and even had burnt out light bulbs on the list. We didn't pay his outlandish requests, and we knew he wouldn't give us a good reference because of that.)

The landlord called the next day and told us that all he needed was a reference and that it could even be someone that we went to church with. If we gave him one, we could have our choice between that house, and another house that him and his wife thought we would like better!!!! 
We were blown away!! We went and looked at the other house, and liked it even more than the first. 

It's a 3 bedroom, 1 bath as well. It has a big flat back yard (the other house's yard was sloped) and a full basement with tons of built in storage, a mud sink, and even a pencil sharpener!! Can we say PERFECT for homeschooling?? :)
We obviously chose the later, and we move in this weekend!!! :)

We were already feeling like God was outdoing himself for us (not that that's possible ;) ) when my husband got offered a job with a different elevator company. He will be getting a nice pay raise, and guess where his route is going to be?? The town we're moving to and surrounding areas!!
He will no longer have a 4 hour commute to and from work each day. This will mean more time with family, more sleep, and more money. 

Only recently did we start praying for a closer, better paying job, and God blessed us with exactly that!

We're so excited about our families future and to see what else God has in store for us. :)
