Crochet Me Crazy

but I just haven't been able to be on the internet for long enough to get it done.

It's hard to believe we've only been out of Houston for a week and a half! Seems like so much has happened. It's hard to believe we could be in such near bliss while my husband is unemployed. We are discovering that it would be fairly easy to get a job here locally. So now we are trying to decide to we keep waiting to see if the Houston jobs pan out or do we just go for it here and try to make a go of it here where we are. The kids never want to go back...I don't want to go back but we also want to be where God wants us to be so I will just keep praying that doors that need to be opened will open and doors that need to be closed will close. I have been practically offered two jobs here in the last week. So...without going into detail, maybe we will have a clearer picture in the next week.

We've met a nice christian lady in town who we've befriended. We are going to their house on Saturday. She was so excited to meet us when she found out we homeschooled and are christians. She homeschools her son here and has visions of a christian school. Her son plays the piano and she said her son could teach Alison to play the piano.

We moved out of the state park to a nearby RV park. This was the view from my RV door yesterday...



Today, this is what I see outside my window as I type....



It's beautiful and has much more comfortable amenities than the state park. We have internet and local TV here. They have super clean restrooms and laundry, not to mention the beautiful views and nice people. The also have a huge game room we can access 24 hours a day. We spent the evening last night playing ping-pong, pool, and we even played a game of shuffle-board. They have books, games, puzzles, a big TV with a WII and we had the place all to our selves last night. We can stay here for less than we stayed in Houston and they don't charge you extra for electricity. Oh..and also propane is quite a bit cheaper here!

I have made a lot of progress on the baby blanket I am working on. I would have finished this much sooner if I was still at our house. I'm not spending near as much time crocheting as I did at the house. It's probably because there is so much more to do here. Cooking and chores are a little more time consuming but it's okay.
