Moving and July 4th Weekend

Well, we moved. It wasn't easy, but we moved on the coolest July day I've ever felt, so that was a real plus. 71 degrees. Sounds like heaven compared to the 98 degrees that it was today. The trip out to Bear Creek went fairly well too. We only had to stop once for about an hour, but we got food, gas, and potty breaks all at the same time. The last hour and a half was a little bit of a challenge with the kiddos, but all in all it was way better than our return trip to Ohio that took 11 hours. :)
Update on the house hunt. We almost had a house in Scranton, but the guy that was selling backed out of the agreement. It's ok though, God must have different plans. We are still looking and we'll see what God brings us. Our house in Ohio has not sold yet, but we have had some people looking, so that is good as well. Continue to pray for us as we adjust to being away from everything familiar. Pray especially for Little Billy. Not only is everything different: surroundings, friends, church, but his Daddy has to travel a lot more than we are used to, and he has been asking where Daddy is and why he is not here. Big Billy loves his job, he gets to speak at camps throughout the summer, but of course that takes him away from us frequently which is hard for him as well. He is a family man, and it is hard for him to be away.
I will be registering for grad courses in the fall, so that will be new for me. It will be weird to take classes again. I'm used to talking to 2 year olds. It will be good to start using my brain again. :)

Here are some recent pictures of the last month including the move and the 4th of July.
