On The Homestretch!!

Well, we are within a week of Jasen arriving here in Tennessee!! He will be flying to Seattle on Monday, picking up our belongings in Seattle, and then driving across the country with his Dad.

Jasen has worked really hard over the last couple of months building a workshop, and finishing up some details on our house, before handing it over to the new owners! Below is an ariel shot :)He is almost done, but will be working until he leaves. He had an unexpected trip to the ER the other night after he fell out of our moving container gashing his head open on the way down. He ended up with about 5 staples in is head and a headache, but then proceeded to stay up all night so he could finish packing the container!! Yes, I am married to a mad man. Thanks Scott, Greg and Chris for helping with some of the packing.

It has been two months since we have been together. In some way it has gone by relativly fast, in others ways not!! We have had a few rough moments, but considering the situation, overall the kids have done really well.

I have started homeschooling the boys. The decision to homeschool was made because we are only here in Portland for 3 months, we didn't want to enroll them and then have to switch to somewhere else. With all of the other change that has taken place it didn't seem fair. So I am homeschooling until we buy a house and know where we are going to be permanently. We will likely enroll then for the spring term after Christmas.

Once Jasen arrives we will hit the ground running looking for a house. Our lease here is up November 1st and we would prefer not to extend it, but I'm sure we could if we needed to.

Well, that's the update for now. Sorry I can't post pictures yet. I have to wait for Jasen to bring the other cord for my camera!!!

When your husband gets there you need to take real good care of him and nurse him back to health. I saw him last night and he doesn't look so good :( Poor guy is working himself too hard. I wish my husband was here to help him. We are praying for you guys!
