Some updates

So things are moving slowly, but there moving. We have decided that it would be easier for us to rent out our house instead of trying to sell it (If anyone knows anyone). I think the most stressful part of this whole process though is finding someone to take our house. I hate the housing market right now, it's so dumb! We finally made a decision on movers too. I can't believe how expensive it is to move! I am also struggling with finding a town we want to move to. I've never even been to the east coast so I have no idea where to look. The places close to John's work are so expensive so we have been looking in the Philadelphia area. The only problem with a big city like that is where are the nice parts? where are the ghetto parts? We are going to contact the bishop in New Jersey and hopefully find some help in him. If anyone has ever lived there or knows anyone from there let me know. After all my complaining though I have to say that we still have felt that this was the right thing for our family. I'm really excited to go, I just wish things didn't always have to be so difficult.

My mom invited us to her primary activity day and the theme was Secret "Service" Agents. These pictures were from a race they had where you had to run to the trash can, dress up like an agent and then pick up the trash. It obviously was teaching about doing service. Great idea huh. I also wanted to give a shout out to my cousin Jacob for getting his Eagle, but don't let this picture fool you. He's not that innocent, see pictues below. :) Any girls interested in a date, he's 16!Ok, so he really is a nice guy. Bostons best friend in our ward, Carli and her little brother, came to play the other day. Her mom and I have been good friends in the ward for a long time. We were visiting teaching companions together, now we do activity days together, and have kids the same age. Boston and Carli are 1 month apart and Drew and Rendon are 3 months apart. I'm glad I got a picture of them together before we moved.

He's so stinkin' cute!

I totally understand the frustration! I just talked to 5people in my ward who are in the process of foreclosure (here in Queen Creek) because they can't sell their homes. Sad. Just keep on prayin'!

My friend from Jersey said that Cherry Hill, Middleton and anything in Monmouth County are nice. Stay away from Camden, apparently it's ghetto.
