• Thursday, October 9, 2008 - Update on Us: Oct 9th 2008
Well here I am going on my second week in AL, I never even thought I would get here to visit my daughter, much less be here this long.
Mark is in NY getting out stuff and bringing it back to Linden this week coming up and then coming down to get the children and I and take us home so to say to Linden. We are staying out on Old Hwy 13 in our RV while we wait for the house we want to rent for the winter to become available. Mr. Sam and his wife Daine are nice christian folks and rent us the space next to his matianance mans place and I can keep my goats there with me too. They homeschool and just are the sweetest folks to us. The Lord was good to lead us to meet them and them let us stay there till we get a real home for the winter. ( Lady who is to be our landlord had to evict the lady who lives there out for non payment, so we had to wait a month or so longer to get the home. Should be Nov 2nd or 12th , time will tell.) Lordwilling we will be living in Lobelville in a nice Doublewide with a wood burning fireplace in the Livingroom, Screen Porch on the one end and porches front and back, very private area also.
Living in the RV for 9 weeks, wasnt what we had planned but the Lord provided it and so we are using it as our home till he gives us another one. Being down here without Mark arround is not an exsperience I enjoy. Things with my own daughter are far different then the way we live or what we desire for our own children. My granddaughters go to Head Start Daily and other things just sorta get to me, but I am biding my time till we go home. My own children miss having a home to live in, the adventure at times has been fun, but at times very trying on us.
The goats are living in the stock trailer and I have no fence for them and of all things were in Town. The trains at night are too many and too noisey that is for sure, traffic is alot here too near 78. If I had a way to get back to Linden, I would go now. Small town living in the country is more my speed that is for sure. The goats are doing well. Magnolia kidded with triplet purebred 6th gen mini nubian babies, 2 bucks and 1 doe. I only have their dam and a non related buck now. My buck won 1st place in intermediate bucks on MDGAs Virtual show online, so I am pleased with him and my new kids too. Only thing is Mark would rather I sold them and that we didnt have animals till we have our own land. I am a bit heartbroken over that but I am not arguing. They should be in a barn and on pasture and not in town ! I did sell two to a lady in TN up in Cunningham, she is so pleased with them and I am so happy to have her have them on her farm.
Please pray for Marks traveling mercies and safe return with out things in the RV and in a trailer he is hauling. Pray it ,keeps running and brings him safely home.
Also pray for us , we need a vechile that our family can drive to the store and such after we get settled or before, have not found one yet. Truck or mini van or reg van would do, with towing capabilites. So we dont need to drive the RV everywhere we go.
I cannot wait to settle, get back to "normal life" baking , cooking , sewing, and spending time with my best friend and sweetheart.
Faith 6 and Hope 5 are so wanting a home. Daniel is 8 months old growing like a well fed calf and he just seems to be a happy baby. He wasnt too happy cutting teeth this week. He now has 4 , 2 top and 2 bottom.
Would you believe he just fits into 18 months clothing. He is tall and heavy.
Well I am tired and needing to get to bed. I hope all is well in your homes and I can't wait to meet those of you nearby home when I get there.
Debi, its near your not far away and thank you for letting me know what is up with in the neighbourhood.
Love and blessings to all

| In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.These have come so that your faith- of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refinded by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 6-7 |
