It's Almost Over!!!!

Wow I really can't believe that summer is almost over and that school is about to start! This summer has really flown by, however we have been a little busy!
As you may remember from a previous post our land lord had sold the house we were calling home so we were being forced to move yet again! Well we are officially homeless. All the papers were signed and our rent house was sold on August 1st. We have been looking for a house to buy since the beginning of June. We have found lots of houses, but either we can't afford them or they need way too much work. It has been a very discouraging hunt. We have looked in Forney as well as all the surrounding cities. We finally found a house in Forney that was just what we were looking for, however apparently nothing can be easy for Chris and I! The couple that is selling the house we want are going through a nasty divorce and they apparently can't get along long enough to even sell their house so all offers and such must go through the judge! Yes...NICE. This has taken 4 times as long as it should have. We are currently on our second counter offer! But we have decided that they can "Take It Or Leave It" at this point!
"We are currently living at my dad's! It has been fine but he has been out of town on vacation since we got here so we shall see how much he really loves us when he gets back!!! We are anxious to find a house we can call home so we know where to put the kids in school. They are a bit nervous about finding yet another new school! So all of you say your prayers that something will work in our favor. We are very grateful to my dad and Ms. Chris for letting us stay here. The kids act like they are at a resort or something, Cole can't wait for Pop-o to get home so he can cook for us every night...I keep telling them that "living" at Pop-o's is different from "visiting" at Pop-o's. We will not be treated as guest...we are family...and we should be cooking for him every night! YUCK!!!
I will try and get better about posting more often. However while at dads I won't be posting many pictures until I figure everything out on our laptop!!!
