1 month old and homeless

So, just a quick update for those that haven't heard yet. We were flooded out of apartment on September 15 and have been living with my in-laws. It's been a little crowded because there are 8 of us total in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment and it's been a little crazy. So anyways, we're looking at moving into an apartment next weekend, so it's going to be nice to be on our own again. Only problem is it's going to be a drive in order to get Bailey my mother-in-laws. It will be back tracking to take her to the house, only to turn around and go back to work, but I am currently trying to find something in Morris anyway so that way I can drop Bailey off and then go to work in the same city. Sorry if this sounds all over the place, I'm a bit scatter brained right now, as you can imagine. Chris' grandpa is in town as well, so we're having a good time given the circumstances. The Lord is good and the damage wasn't too bad, so we're blessed to have our lives and most of our belongings. Our biggest loss was the baby crib, but we've already been offered another crib by a family in our church, (that and the home that we're moving into is furnished with a crib). It's a very tiny apartment, but it will serve it's purpose for how long we're going to be here before we move to California.

Well, I talked to Jana this morning and she's doing well. She is currently 34 weeks pregnant and measuring 36, so they'll start checking her at her next appointment. We're curious to see what Cambree is going to look like. I should probably get off the internet. They use dial up which is tying up the phone. Hope all of you are doing well. I tried to post pictures, but it's not working (most likely because of the connection), so once I get a chance, I'll post pictures. That's the other thing, when we get moved, we most likely won't have internet service, so I'll try to update at work, we'll have to wait and see if they have cracked down on that stuff when I get back. I go back to work next Wednesday, so pray for me because I'm already really emotional about it. Talk to you later!

Jocelyn and Chris,

Congratulations!! Bailey is beautiful. I was amazed at how much hair she has.

I know things have been chaotic and unsettling. I hope the move to CA goes well. I look forward to hearing more.

Congratulations!

I didn't realize the Ike storm surge crested over the Ozark Mountains to flood ya'll like that. I am shocked at the media's bias against your plight and destitution and not reporting such a great tragedy and loss of life in Chicago. I sure am glad the Bears were on the road along with the Cubs!

Love Ya'll.
