Crazy couple of weeks!

I have a feeling, the next few weeks will be a whirlwind!  god has closed one door for us, but there are other possible open doors!!  I am anxious to see what will happen with them!  We have decided to short sale our house.  We are praying that it will sell quickly this way.  I was told that if we don't stop making payments it won't hurt our credit very much, which is a huge deal for us.  I personally could care less about our credit score, since we don't believe in using credit cards, and car loans and all that.  However, since Nathan needs security clearance for his job, he has to have good/excellent credit to maintain that.  So doing the short sale is a blessing, since it won't effect the score that much.  Anyway, we were approved and now we have a week or two to wait to get a price to list the house.  I am doing my part to move things along, and our specialist is very nice and helpful, which is a huge blessing!!  My parents and sister/brother-in-law are going to Alaska next week, I am so excited for them!!  Soon after they return, I am having a baby shower for my sister, right before they move to NC :(  I am so sad to see them move away, but so glad we have had such good times while we were together!!  Now I need to plan a trip to NC to see my new niece when she's born!!  Another sister of mine is moving with her family to the other side of the world.  Literally.  I don't think they could get any further.  I will miss them so much, I don't even want to think about it.  Although they have been in Germany for the past few years, that is nothing to being 32+ hrs away flying time.  I am so thankful for webcam and Vonnage!!  Both have helped us keep in touch, and I know we will put them to good use in the next few years as well.  Please keep our family in your prayers!  We always seem  to move at the same time, but never to the same place!!!  Nathan has some job advancement opportunities coming up.  I'm not sure if anything will happen or not.  He technically hasn't been there long enough, but God could work it out if he wants, so he's applying anyway!  God is good at all times!!  We are thankful to know that He has a perfect plan for us!  What a year it has been so far and we're only 1/2 way done with it!!
