So....I am feeling a lot better. Whew!
We found a house to rent. Actually it was the first house Rob and I looked at when we went rental hunting last week. We just didn't think we could afford it. We were discouraged by what we COULD afford (aka slummy, scary, not so nice neighborhood stuff) so we decided to take a chance and Rob counter-offered his original offer of employment. We were worried they would think we were greedy but they came back and offered him more money. Yeay!
Nice house in the nice neighborhood here we come. We are just waiting for the landlord/manager to fax us the contract to sign and then it will all be done. Again.......whew!
So.......two unknowns are now not so unknown. We were granted the raise and we now have some place to live.
We will be leaving for Utah (for my brother's wedding) tomorrow (granted none of the other children start vomiting (Cael was sick yesterday)), we will drive home on Wednesday of next week and move Saturday. It's a good thing we are already 3/4 way packed.
So....about the IRS. I am just not worrying about it right now. We will cross that bridge when we get there. Thanks for all the good advice and encouragement y'all. I needed it.
The Lord has blessed us immensely. I KNOW that he cares about us and must be looking down on me thinking......"Why wont she just trust me." The truth is....I do. I just forget I do sometimes.
So.....here we go......on to the next adventure.

I am excited for you! Living with family is hard, at least for me. Knowing you have a place to live and be just yourselves and some employment. That alone is reason to par-tay! It would be for me!
I am glad that both of your major stresses were relieved! I am glad you are feeling better! I am excited to see you this week, but I am sad it is such a short trip. Jason will be going out of town on Sunday and I will have the whole week to play!
Yeah Melanie-
I am so glad things are coming together. Sometimes, actually alot of the times, it's on the Lord's timetable, not ours that is all comes together.(How easily we forget :)) We are excited and so happy for you guys. We will miss you, but now we have someone to visit in Tri-Cities.
Yay! It's so nice to know where you are going to live!
I'm excited to see you on Tuesday!
YAY!!! I'm so fetchin' excited for you!!! Can you tell?!!! Look at all the exclamation points!!!
Yay! I'm glad that it worked out for you. Good luck with all the moving stuff again:)
I'm catching up after not having the internet hooked up.... Yah a job! I'm so happy for you guys! I don't know how you've lived like that for so long. Congratulations Rob!
Time sure helps doesn't it. I'm so glad things are working out. And your right, worrying about it now won't help. Again, I wish I was there to help you move and stuff. Good luck! We love you!
I am so glad for you guys! What a relief to have a job. Plus if you are moving to Tri-Cities then maybe we could get together sometime. It's about half-way between Spokane and Vancouver.
I'm so happy for you! You made it through!!!! You're an amazing example of faith. GOOD LUCK!!!
