Wow! What an event filled month we have had! We had house guests for the three weeks prior to Easter. It is great having people visit especially when we get to take them to the beach!
Easter weekned, the girls and I met my mom in Greensboro, NC to celebrate her brother and sister-in-law's 40th wedding anniversary with her siblings. It was great to hang out with my aunts and uncles.
The best news yet is this - WE SOLD THE MOORESVILLE HOUSE!! The inspection was on Saturday (4/11), so we are still not done, but the buyers want to close by the end of April. Praise God!! Believe it or not, I have not worried at all about this part of the move. Crazy?! Maybe, but God has made His presence so well known throughout this process that I knew He would bless this part too. And so he has. What a huge relief! So, if all continues to go well, we will be in IN for a visit soon.
Sami and her friends have actually been WRITING LETTERS to each other. Real, live letters! One of Sami's friends even included a note for Becca! THANKS HANNAH!! That was soooo sweet!!
Please continue to keep the girls in your prayers. Sami is concerned about scheduling. She is also still trying to get signed up for online courses before they fill up. The only thing we are waiting on is the signature of the woman who encouraged her to get signed up right away. That was a month ago. Grrr.
Becca, although she is loving softball, she was very reluctant to go back to school this morning after spring break + Monday off. She put on her game face this morning, but................... Anyway, they are still working hard to make it work. They are doing a great job!!
We are still looking for a church:(( All things "church" are still really difficult for me, personally. I went to one women's bible study before the deluge of guests, but have not been back. I miss our FUMC family so much that it is really hard to go to church. I know it will get better. You all know how patient I can be !!!
To those of you who have sent emails, IMs, texts and notes, I can't tell you how much it means to all of us. We are still adjusting and trying to make MB feel like home. We miss all of our friends and family tremendously.

April Fool's was not that bad!!
It started out badly, though. We said "goodbye" to Nancy, Taylor and Zane Janneck who spent 4 days of their spring break with us. We had a great visit!
The kids both got good news from school and I learned a lot from a delightful conversation with the school nurse - really!
Sami went to tutoring for algebra 1 and was happy with the progress she made! YEAY!! Boy, do we miss Mrs. Crawford @ MHS! She also felt very confident about her "To Kill a Mockingbird" vocabulary final. The essay final is today (Thursday) so hopefully, she will feel good about that too! She also got an "A" on her World History test! WOOT!
Becca did well on her classwork today and continues to work hard on her Power Point presentation about - what else - penguins! She has learned how to place picuters from different locations, insert text and bullets and to create animations! Scott told her she was going to have to teach him how do use PP now!! I went to have lunch with her so I got to see "the crush". He is very cute. He seems to have it pretty bad for Becca, but she is being very coy! How hillarious!
I went in to make sure B's shot records had been faxed from Northwood. We started chatting (try to contain your surprise!) It turns out, she and her family attend the church we have been attending. Her daughter is a Sophmore at Sami's school and attends the youth group. Her husband also works with the youth. She took Sami's name and was going to pass it along to her daughter so she could keep her eye out for her at youth if Sami chooses to give it another go.
She also gave me the inside scoop on a bunch of Dr's here in the area. Not bad stuff, just information. It was tremendously educational!
Becca's first softball scrimage is scheduled for today. However, it has been raining all night and all day. I doubt they will play tonight, but I have been surprised before!

Finally, SAMI DROVE MY CAR LAST NIGHT! She drove around our neighborhood and did a GREAT job!! Wow. I still can't believe she is legal (well, with me or Scott!). I am not at all looking forward to the first time she pulls out of the driveway by herself.
