We're Not Closing Tomorrow :(
So... because we have a CRAZY economy right now, our motgage was not able to be approved today. There is hope that it will be able to be approved still sometime this week, so maybe by Friday we'll own a house; we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

For those of you who don't know...
Our mortgage approval is still up in the air. We were hoping that it would be finalized today, but it wasn't. We now have to wait until Monday (we are supposed to close on Tuesday).... with the crazy economy at the moment and a couple other factors, it's a little scarey, but our mortgage officer is very optimistic that it will get approved on Monday...
Please keep this in your prayers... that God's Will will be done and that Brent and I will be content with whatever that may be.

Church, A House, and No Nephew
This week we have SIX teens at church on Wednesday (we normally have two or three), so that was exciting! This morning we only have three for Sunday school, but then had SEVEN tonight for T.I.M.E (Teens In MinistrE). So last week was a high, but we are GROWING!!!!!
Our church as a whole is also GROWING! We will soon have two services. There was a meeting with the minstry leaders on Saturday morning to try to figure out what a second service would like like for us and how everything would work and what the timing would be and all that fun stuff. They took a servey this morning at church, so we'll see what that shows.
There's a house...we really like it..it's a cute house...it's yellow...has three bedrooms...a dining room...a living room...a bathroom...a kitchen...a garage...a basement...a yard...we really like it... and we're going to make an offer on it. But, not until Tuesday. We are thinking about what our offer should be and praying about it and seeking advice and wisdom of others. But, we really like the house.
Davey is still in Ashley's belly; so we don't have a nephew yet. From the sounds of thinks, Ashley would like him to come out sooner rather than later.... and I think we would all like that too! Even though we probably won't get to actually meet him until Christmas :( ... but we can see lots of cute pictures! :)

Grandma and Davey
Grandma Cary was discharged from the hospital yesterday and her and Grandpa made the trip home to Battle Creek yesterday! :)
Davey is still in Ashley's belly... but Ashley is no longer on bedrest or the meds to stop the contractions, so any day now....

Lots of Teens!
This morning in Sunday School we had TEN teens!!! And then tonight for our first time meeting at church instead of our house we had TEN teens again!!!!! Being at church for Sunday nights provides the use of power point and the audio equipment for music and such... it all went very well and the teens all seemed to enjoy it! :)
Still not Davey... but it does sound like he is going to make his appearance sooner rather than later.
Grandma Cary is doing better. It looks like they are going to get to go home tomorrow (she's in a hospital in Indy).
Meeting with the realtor went well. We looked at lots of listings online and Brent has found the house that he thinks is "the one." We went and drove around today and looked at the neighborhoods and looked at the outside of some of the houses that we liked the pictures of and such... and I got more excited about "the one." Then at church tonight we talked to some people that live down the road from "the one" and have been inside of it and said that it's nice on the inside and such. Hopefully we'll get a chance to go inside of it this week - Brent's going to call our realtor tomorrow about scheduling a viewing for "the one" and a couple others that we have an interest in. It definitely is something exciting... and scary... and there are so many questions.... But in the end it will all work out and be all good :)
Hope everyone has a good week!

Something new....
This morning Brent and I are going to meet with a realtor to start the whole process of buying a house! I have a feeling it might be a long process....
Still no Davey :)
Grandma Cary is still in the hospital, but she does have the drain thing out of her stomach and was allowed to drink water yesterday. It sounded like they were going to start letting her try to do more liquids today :)

Still No Davey or Ins....But The Weekend Was Fun
Davey is still in Ashley's belly! She goes back to the doctor tomorrow.
Grandma Cary is still in the hospital. When they took the tumor out, they also took out a small part of her digestive track and hooked it all back together. This caused her stomach to "go to sleep" and they are waiting for it to "wake up" before she can go home from the hospital. It sounds like Grandma and Grandpa are both ready to go home...but are trying to be patient.
We still don't have health insurance out here. My amazing kidneys are to thank for the denial. We're not sure what the next step is going to be...but in the meanwhile, I have Priority Health, which is pretty much useless out here (they won't cover anything), but is good for the whole no laps in coverage clause.
Other than me not feeling good all weekend... we had a great time with Brent's family.
They got here just in time for bed (11:30 or so) on Friday night.
Saturday we just kind of hung out around the house most of the day. We did go shopping and Alyssa discovered how small our mall is... and she tried to strip a mannequin to jeans for Jenny (which she didn't end up getting). Saturday night we played the game Last Word, where Shane and I didn't do so hot... and we found another game that Dad is great at.
Sunday we did the church thing, and then went to a pool party with some people from church. I had fun playing with Emma (our senior pastors 17 month old)....and I think everyone else had fun :) Sunday night we just hung around and played more games....including three rounds of CatchPhrase (and I never lost...if you have ever played with me you know how amazing that is). Monday morning Mom, Dad, Alyssa, and Shane left and Brent and I headed to Lancaster to meet my Dad, Marianne, Katie and Trevor. We ate a HUGE Amish lunch...it was YUMMY and then played in a park for a little while.
Brent is starting new stuff at church this week on Sunday nights. He's really excited about it.
That about sums up life at the moment...
