We moved to Round Rock mid september. Jhonny started his new job and the kids started a new school. Our new ward has been very supportive. After two weeks, Jhonny was called to be the second counselor in the Elder's quorum presidency. He was pretty shocked, but the calling is great for him. He has been kept very busy getting to know the brethren in the ward and serving mostly by way of moving people.
I was called to be the pianist in the Relief Society followed by a calling to be the Ward Music Chairman. I'm excited about my new calling and pulling out the musical talent in the ward. It's just about perfect for the amount of other stress in my life right now.
Work is going well. It's nice to be home to fix dinner most nights. There's still those days that I don't feel like cooking, but those are fewer than they were last year. I haven't worked in a workout schedule yet, but I really should. Being able to hit the pool around the corner has been nice. Last time we went it was actually a bit cold. Maybe fall is finally coming.
The house looks somewhat normal now - unless you look in the garage where there's still a billion boxes needing to be unpacked. I had great intentions yesterday that went by the wayside. Hohum. Perhaps one of these weekends we'll get something accomplished with that. I'm sure the great majority are books that have no shelf to go on. And until our other house sells, money is tight - so buying them is not really an option right now.
Sell house sell!! That is our prayer daily. Lily is the best at remembering that. When it does we might be able to afford activities again. For now - those are on hold. Well other than Jessica enrolling in girl scouts. We almost enrolled Lily, but I'm hesitant. It sounds like a lot of commitment that I don't feel up to right now.
It would be great to put Lily in gymnastics and Gavin in soccer or swimming. They want to be involved. But that all costs something so. . .thus the prayer.
At least until the new year. Then I'm going to need a good financial advisor to determine if foreclosure is an option we can deal with or not. The consequences kind of scare me, but? What to do? I know we can't keep paying for two houses for long.
That about catches us up to the present.
