 So much has happened the last while that it is hard to know were to start. Where shall I begin…….?

Philip has had a major exam, we went on a family trip, Anthony is continuing to grow and learn new things, we found a house in Chattanooga, Philip has started rotations, I’m busy packing, and the list seems to go on. Well, I will try my best to catch you up on some of this!

First of all thanks to all of you who were praying for Philip as he took his Step 1 exam. We got the results the other day and he PASSED with a good score!!! We are very happy especially Philip! Another exam is done and behind him for good!

After the busy and intense time of studying we thought it would be a good thing to take a few days as a family and try to relax and catch up. We took a few days and went to Mobile, AL. We had a wonderful time and got to see some of the beauty God has created! Maybe these pictures will help you get a glimpse of what we did even though they don’t do justice to being there.

After we left Alabama we went to Chattanooga and looked at a house that Papa had found. The Lord definitely had his hand over the whole thing! We have an allsome God! The place was up for sale but Papa thought he would just call the number and see if they would be willing to rent it. They said they would have to talk to their Mom ( it was her house but she is 90 and had just recently moved to assisted living) and get back with him. Their Mom agreed to rent it but the amount they wanted was to high for us. They wanted to know then what would be a workable amount for us. After we told them they said they would talk to their Mom and see what she said. She agreed to the amount! Some of you will have to come see us once we move and are closer! We are moving the end of this month Lord willing!
