We did it. We found a place to live, in the Branch we feel we should be in, and we're headed to sign the contract tonight. It looks like the Lord really does want us here. Of course, he's charging us an arm and a leg for it, but hey, you do what you've got to do. Maybe we'll sell the fruit of our three pecan trees to help pay the rent.4 Bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths (that's a weird fluke, by the way), large Living room, kitchen, sun room (which we're using as a dining room!) with a back porch/deck, covered parking, air and heat, and this amazing room upstairs that will be our school room. It looks to be converted attic, but is about 2/3 of the main part of the upstairs you see in the photo (left side.) One of the best parts is that we'll now have a guest room. Hmm? What? Speak again? Oh yes, we'll have a guest room, and we're even hoping to have a guest bed to put in it, and it has its own bathroom. Of course it will also be the treadmill/TV/James office, but if, on he chance someone does find their way down here, I'm sure we can work something out. The down side? Knotty pine. The kitchen is über dark from it, and one of the bedrooms is paneled in it. Other than that, though, all is well. Thank you for your prayers as we've mounted this impossible search. Sometimes it seems that life is all or nothing, and our nothing finally gave way to all. We're heading home tomorrow.

Thanks for keeping us posted. We have been on pins and needles awaiting the story of the day. Looks like a nice place you found. Are we taking bets on how long it will be before you're in the branch presidency? He he!
So, we need an update. How about Michael's face? Did the boys survive otherwise? When are you moving? When does James leave again? et. al.
