I finally gave in!

After months of enjoying the blogs of family and friends I have finally given in! I kept saying that I don't have time to do things like that but I feel like this might be the only way to keep in touch with most of you. I hope that I can keep it updated with new events in our lives.
Josh is busy with work and coaching Ali's soccer team. I am a true soccer mom with both Ali and Abby in soccer this year. Nate is all boy and like my little (huge) backpack that goes everywhere with me. It has been crazy but we are loving it. We are selling our current home and waiting for our new one to be completed. Our closing date is next month in October but as you can tell by the pictures below that isn't going to happen. So for now we don't know when we will move but at least they started to dig the pool!

Hi Dana~I'm glad you're blogging! You have such a beautiful family, your kids are all so cute! Your house already looks amazing and it's not even finished, I can't wait to see it completed. I also wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed the VT message you shared with me last month, I think I've shared it with three or four people because it had such a huge impact on me. You are amazing!

Hey, love your blog and thanks for sending us a e-mail to check it out. I sent you an invite to look at ours as well. Your kids are so cute and are getting so big. Hope you are all doing well.

It is so fun to see what you and your family are up to, it has been tooo long. Yes, I am pregnant and I am due in November. Yipee, I am almost done. We are having another boy and are just thrilled to have 2 little boys. I keep in contact with LaNeace (she is actually one of my closest friends) even though we live in Idaho now and I miss her tons. I also look at Cunninghams blog every once in a while too. Hope you are all doing well.

Yay, another blog convert! I am so glad you found our blog. Shane and I were just talking about you two the other day--wondering how you guys were doing and how your house was coming along. We sure miss you too! And guess who else decided to build?!:) We sure are excited to see the rest of the finish work on your home! It already looks amazing. I hope the builders go fast so you can be moved in before Christmas. (I'm sure they will). Look forward to more updates!
