Changes, Changes, Changes

Wow, so much has happened since the last post!

Regarding our house purchase: After MANY ups and downs with the bank we had no other choice but to opt out of purchasing the house. (Won't mention the name of the bank other than it starts with a 'W' and and ends in 'argo'...lol) We endured 3 months of torture with one problem after another coming up. So for now we are still crammed into a 2 bedroom apartment.

Kids: Jeff is still thriving in school this year and has stayed on the AB honor roll. He has many friends and a close friend that lives right across the building from us. They spend time together every day. Grant is almost 2 years old and is like a human sponge right now. It seems that his grammar is increasing by the day and he is growing up to be a sweet little guy who knows what he wants....and is sure to let us know!

Family life: About 4 weeks ago Shane ended up in the hospital to have an appendectomy. Scary, scary stuff. One day he came home for a lunch break from work and was complaining of having stomach cramps. As you probably know Shane, he stuck it out all day at work in severe pain. At 9:30 that night he decided to leave from work and go to the hospital. I told him I probably needed to drive him there but he insisted on driving himself. He stayed in the waiting room for 4 hours before seeing a doctor. 3 hours and many tests later it was determined that his appendix needed to be removed. Needless to say I got ZERO sleep that night as I was waiting for the phone to ring to hear the results. Weeks later he is recovering well and finally getting back to normal.

Living in west Texas has not been the most pleasant of experiences. We have decided to go back to where we came from so now Shane and I are seeking employment to allow us to relocate back to the Hill Country. Although I was born and raised in this part of Texas I just can't seem to call it 'home' again. We don't have any regrets moving here as it has made us appreciate everything we left behind. And it has given us an opportunity to spend time with family. I'm hoping the next post will be about when we are moving back......
