Moving Can Be Fun

Or so I hear...

Though I hate making excuses about blogging silence, if there was a good excuse then perhaps moving out of our house and into a friend's place might be it. That is something that was physically draining and too lots of time when I was single. It is even more interesting now that I am married with two kids... and my friend is married with three kids. We talk all the time about the church being like a "family", but I don't think many people get to experience that reality. I definitely have and it is a great testimony to the life change that God brings about. The crazy thing is that the family we are living with is only one of several who offered to help.

I will get back to the series on Conflict, hopefully without any real world examples from this week with our friends :). We are officially out of our house now... as long as you don't count the garage as part of the house (which after three days of moving I don't because I need to be able to say that I am out of the house! :)). As it turns out our closing has been pushed back for at least a week... but my June gets crazy starting Sunday (travel galore with some consulting tossed in between the trips), so I needed to get out of the house this week regardless.

So far our kids are doing amazingly well with this whole thing. Our son (the social one) is looooooving it since he now has three extra siblings (who actually enjoy playing with him). Our daughter has pretty much managed to keep to herself... which is a large feat in a house with 9 people living in it. But, the random screaming and throwing of things helps her keep a nice buffer.
