Life Fastforwarded ----->

Well a whole lot has happened in the past three months.
Change #1:
To begin Justin and I made the decision to find a good home for our dogs. It kinda happened in about 3 minutes. LOL Let me explain. I had a sister come by from another congregation to look at a futon we were selling. Well the moment she came in she immediately fell in love with Dulce. So all of a sudden the words came out of my mouth "Do you want to take her home?" To my surprise she said "Yes!" Well we packed all of Dulce's stuff up and sent her on her way. Well about four days later she called and said that she could not keep Dulce for unseen reasons. Well I told her not to worry and to bring her by my work. It was my last day of work. So I began to tell my workmates what happened and one of them was really happy. I thought that to be kinda weird. So I asked her why was she smiling so much, come to find out that she had wanted Dulce all along. So I asked if she wanted to take her home whenever the sister dropped her off to me. Immediately she said "Yes!" So that day she took Dulce home. About four days later she calls and to my surprise asks if she can also have Buster. Of course I said yes. So they have had their new home now for a month. I miss them a lot, but could not be happier that they are together and are in a great home.

Change #2:
Justin and I decided to put our house on the market before that tax break was lifted at the end of April. We did that and set a price on what we wanted to sell it for. We had about 3 - 4 people look at the house. The first couple said it was on the top of their list and in 10 days, from us listing it, and offered us a price. This was last Thursday. So at 11 o'clock at night Justin and I went to the Realtors office and signed a paper counter offering. That very night they gave us a verbal that that sounds great to them. Then this past Sunday they signed the papers saying that they would purchase our house for the agreed price. The closing will be on April 22nd.

Change #3:
Justin and I looked around for apartments and found one. Now we are having to simplify and sell all of our non-essentials. So we are having a giant yard sale this weekend. My entire garage is filled with non-essentials. It is amazing how much you accumulate and how much you really do not need.

Change #4:
I personally quit my job and now am able to full time pioneer. :) I am truly happy again.

Justin and I are really happy with the changes and can only thank Jehovah for what has happened. Now more then ever I see Jehovah's hand in our lives. I will always remember this time in our lives, so that when we go through hardships we remember the good God, Jehovah is.
