Our Current Situation...

Hello Everyone!


We apologize for our absence of updates,...but, it is hard to describe how crazy things have been!





Many of you have been asking us what we're doing, now that our time to move has officially come...so, here is the run down:





Lord willing by mid-week(*groan*,..tomorrow, please!), we will have everything pertaining to us, moved out of (what we now refer to as!) the "old" house. We ourselves, have not been staying at the house for the past week or so; but with most the adults of the house working during the day, getting everything moved out has proved to be a much longer process then hoped for :(





We are currently residing at some dear friends house while they are on vacation for a few weeks. The house (that we are temporarelly staying at) is only about fifteen minutes away from "the old house" which is very handy while we're moving stuff. =)



***Our dear friends also are letting us use their (good sized) shop to store our stuff temporarely, which has been such a blessing! Thus we are moving our things into the shop. LOL, not to mention our neighbors(from the "old house")let us put some things at their place, oh, and Mallory's boss..., and another friends shed! Can you imagine moving everything that belongs to a family of 11 1/4( hey JD, you still left some things behind!), but not having one place(e.g, a home!), to move it all too?!?? Well, this results in divvying it up! But, thanks to our gracious friends on vacation, we only have to divide the "things",...and not our family. ***



We are still searching for a home to move into (of course) which is not an easy task to say the least. So, if you see or hear of anything, or, if you want more specifics on what we need in a house(since, not just any ol' regular house built these days will do for us!), please feel free to email us!

We appreciate you!

Oh Boy...

Well Everyone, today is the "official day" of when we are supposed to move!

And, from what I can tell, it would take a miracle for us to be out of here before tonight!
Although it would be crazy madness trying to get the rest of everything packed before tonight, I know everyone would do it in a heartbeat! Seriously, we all can't wait to be in a better(meaning, clean, no mold!)house!

So, the next time you hear from us might be from a bench in a park, or when we show up at your house tonight sometime between 12:00 & 3:00 am! LOL, I'm just joking! ;P

If you think of us today, please pray...as I'm sure by tonight we'll probably be somewhere between the nut farm & insanityville! :D

Ells, for the D-Gang

Updates

We are "supposed" to be moved out of this house in one week...

Here is where we stand:

We haven't found somewhere else to live yet! Every time we think we may be getting close to something, it falls through. This is quite a journey in trust, reliance, vulnerability,and patience.
The last of which, by the way, has been running kind of short with some of us here this week! :P
It is just hard to function on a day-to-day basis, not having an idea of what may happen next.

I think the thing that is most frightening to my parents(and, myself!), is just knowing that someone else in the family could come down(well, I guess its more of a surfacing thing. Because probably we're allot more "sick"(immune system wise) then we can even "see" right now.)with something at any moment. And that is just scary. Why this has all happened, I may never fully...
But, what I do know for now is that we are sick(Sethers, especially!), and that this house is toxic, and that we cannot afford to outright buy another house to live in, and that we haven't in our searching been able to find anything that seems "right"(size, condition,price) to rent, and that I should stop writing before I get to blue :P

So Friends,...please pray for us, and please keep keeping your eyes, ears & hearts open, as will we! Because I have a feeling(ok, I know), that this week will fly by WAY to quickly!

Thanks, Friends!
