Well, we finished one house sitting gig yesterday and are in another house until next Thursday! Isn't that wild? The boys had a lot of fun swimming today, and then tonight after Tim got home from counseling we all sat on the couch to say prayers and we were having so much fun just being together we took forever getting to the praying part! At one point all 6 of us were doing the 'wave' and then Nathan grabbed a pair of monkey ear muffs and put them on to drown out our 'fellowship' so Nicole snatched her camera and got a great picture of him and the remainder of the die hard wave participants. We were all just cracking up. It reminds me of the verse, "How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity" Psalm 133:1.
On the home buying front, the workshop I went to on Saturday for the mortage we are looking into went very well, but I can tell this is going to be a long, drawn out process. Our first meeting with a mortgage consultant isn't until September 20th! I'm going to try to have that moved up, but even so,we started talking again about renting some place until we can close on a house. But after a couple of days of researching what's out there we came back to the same conclusion as before that it is really not smart for us to pay $1500+ on a rental when we can stay in our camper so much cheaper. We checked out a campground in our area today, and we can stay there, with full hookup, for less than 1/3 of what it would cost to rent a house. So anyway, we are trusting in God's perfect timing for everything.
My job is going well, and I'm really enjoying it. It seems to fit nicely into our family schedule, so that's good! Tim has had no more symptoms since this past weekend's fiasco, but I'm really proud of him for following up with the cardiologist. Once the doctor's office gets Tim's records from Tampa General they will schedule an appointment with him, so we're hoping that will be within the next couple of weeks. Thank you all so much for your prayers and calls and well wishes - it meant a lot to us!
Well, I'll leave you with a couple of pictures from the day today. Enjoy!
