We bought our home!!!

We signed all the papers this morning!! We've had so many issues with buying our home in Texas!!! We could never get a hold of our Mortgage guys so we had to keep pushing back our closing date..then they couldn't get a hold of our HOA so they couldn't get the right paper work until they had the right amount...then they are taking forever to get the funds to the bank so even though we've signed all the paper work we weren't able to get the keys.:( But they are suppose to have everything ready in the morning..but we are back in Shreveport tonight with a busy weekend ahead of us...so Mike's mom is going to get the keys tomorrow...so this is our weekend..tomorrow morning (Friday) we have the movers coming early to pack and load so I'll take the kids down to Mama's..then I have to back that night..the next day we have an all day EFA (esp. of adults)..I'll probably head back to mama's that night and go to church with her the next day while Mike speaks in Queen City and Texarkana. Either late Sunday or early Monday..I'll head back to Shreveport to clean our home and get it ready..then Tuesday morning we close on our house in Shreveport and then meet mama somewhere and get the kids and head to Little Elm..get there and try to put beds together and clean bathrooms..the rest of the week is unpacking and buying furniture(this is the part I'm looking forward to!!)
I hope you got all that! We are going to be tired but I'm so excited!!! We were at the house today and we had two groups of kids come and knock on the door and ask all about us and our kids..I think it is going to be a fun neighborhood for Bradley.:) I just hope I can handle all these neighborhood kids.:)

last week in Louisiana

This past weekend we had a stake youth activity. I had to speak about pioneers. So we all went..it was out in the country and my kids loved every minute. They were so dirty when we got home!! They had a bon fire at the end and they asked Mike and I to come up and had all the youth sing "God be with you till we meet again" It was so touching. I will really miss the friends we have made here.
This time next week we'll be on our way to Dallas..this time to stay! I am so excited about getting there and starting this new chapter in our life. I am excited to decorate our new home and go to our new ward and play at new parks and convince Mike to get a dog.:) I really feel like this is where we are suppose to go for this time in our lives...
