Update on life...

I am sitting here with Cassidy while she is watching Cinderella. She is happy as can be even with so many things in our lives about to change.

We have recently made the decision to move our family (soon to be of 4) to Enid. We are VERY excited about this opportunity. Jason was offered a position at the Bank where he works that will take us back to Enid and to a community that we are thrilled to raise our family in. As many of you who have been faced with decisions like this know, we weighed many options and thought very hard about what it would mean to move from the "big" city to a "small" town and after much thought, list making and praying we realized that moving to a place where our children can grow up with family around is MUCH more important than activities that may be available somewhere else. So off we go. Oh, wait! Not until after we have a baby...

Yes, we have been having to remind ourselves that we are about to have a baby and that MUST come first. We are 1 week and 4 days from our due date, so we are anxiously waiting and realizing that any day now we could be welcoming #4 into our family. This is such an exciting time and we are so overwhelmed with the joy of it while also preparing to move our family.

The Move...
Well, we have been working on the odds and ends list to get our house in tip top shape to list while also trying to make trips to Enid to look at houses. We had the movers come a week and a half ago and pack and move some things to "thin-out" the house for listing. That was an interesting day considering we filled the truck! They told me they would bring an 18 wheeler to move the rest of the house. Do we really have that much stuff?? YES! Who am I kidding.

Well with the impending baby coming so soon, my trips to house hunt are over for now. We have our eye on one that we are excited to say we could imagine our family in for years to come. Jason is heading over in the morning to meet some contractors, plumbers, painters, etc to see what all it will take to get it up to par for us. It is in a Historic area that we love so we are hopeful that all will fall into place. However, we also know that if this one doesn't work out, it isn't right for us. So the waiting game goes on.

We laugh daily at all of the unknowns in our life right now: When will baby come? When will our house be listed/sell? When will we move? Where will we move? What will the baby be???

Life is fun for the Turnbows right now and we couldn't be happier!

A little FYI: When Cassidy was asked yesterday when baby will come? She replied "Thursday, later this week". We are wondering now if she is onto something, wait for the update on that!
