Lease Signing

My mom said something awesome to me as I was walking out the door for work this morning, "This is still God's day, and He is still in control."

Ma, it was the perfect thing to say to me this morning.

We found a house to rent here in Olympia. It really feels like we are starting our new lives out here. I mean, I've been here for 4 1/2 months already, but getting our own digs is a huge step, and more than a little frightening. Having my mom come to live with us is going to be wonderful for my whole family, and hopefully great for her too. I love it so much out here! If we didn't have Janan to help us start out here we wouldn't have been able to do the move. I am so grateful to her and Randy for helping us out and letting us stay with them (even when its not easy--like this morning. Any one want to buy a 4 year-old Moose?)

Last night we met our new landlord at the rental (which I'll post pics of when we move in on the 15th). I had to take my monsters (a.k.a. Tobias, and Truman). Why were they SO SPUN? It was crazy, and I was thinking in the front of my mind, "Great. Our landlord is going to change his mind because my boys are terrorizing the house before we even move into it..." He was, however, very understanding because he has boys himself. They continued to run up and down the hallway and sliding on the new laminate floors as the three adults signed our lives away for a year and month to month afterwards. I can't wait to move in, we have 6 days that feel like eternity! Its just hanging in front of me, like a doughnut in front of a fat chick..... great, now I want a doughnut too.

What is it about boys? They are little wild animals from the birth canal, I mean wild completely nu-domesticatable. Yet, its boys that have always captured my heart. I am drawn to their insane energy, much like a bug to an electrical bug-zapper. It'll be the death of me, but I'll go out with a flash, bang, and a powerful pop! So, I'll forgive my little men for their rambunctiousness last night.
