i dont know if you can see it but that lil yellow block at the end of street is the kids school.
front outside of the house. 
I love this kitchen!
I just wanted to post about our little miracles this week.
Despite being beyond stressed, we have taken the time to read and talk and pray. I didn't think it would be such a drastic change but it has been.
Despite our stubborness, stupidity and general ignorance, we have been blessed beyond belief and I truly believe that it is because we have been trying- TRYING being the key word.
We are trying to read every day, we tried to feed the missionaries, we tried to cut back on tv watching, we tried to eat at home with the food we had, we tried to stay in budget for everything.
You get my point.
But here is the clincher; we found our tithing JUST before we sold the truck that we just paid off. We just paid off the truck because we forgot that we had enough money to do it.
We have had dinner every night this week. (BIG deal for me).
Bruce asked some people to come over and help fix up the house, who are coming on Sat.! and before he sold the truck he found the extra money we needed to do some repairs and haul the stuff home before the truck was gone.
Anyway, I am rambling but the biggest deal for me was today.
We were fighting last night, and after we resolved it, Bruce started a fast today and was inspired to ask a co-worker if the bank would give us (EXACTLY the type of loan we need to buy this house) a loan.
Bruce had no idea if it was feasible, much less if they would even consider doing it.
This co-worker (bigwig?) immediately says "yeah sure!" What?!! Really!! YAY!!
All the hoops that we would have to jump thru and not to mention all the money we would have to come up with have been reduced down to 'totally plausible-doable' VS
being 'how the heck are we going to pull this off in order to get this house?"
So needless to say, we talked about miracles today with the kids. I hope they get it.
I asked them what miracles they would perform if they had the power; most of them said they would "make it rain food all over the earth".
Here are some pics of the house, in case you are wondering what it looks like.
