April-May 2008 Living arrangements, yeah, that could be a problem

Like I said, during this transitional time we had some wonderful help from family and friends. Roger and Debbie strong have a game room that is detached from their house. They were gracious enough to let us stay there until we could find a rent house in Ada. Well, after a month of looking, and no luck finding a clean rent house, we were at our wits end. We were spending tons of money eating out since the game room was not equipped with a full kitchen. We were sleeping on an air mattress (which we were incredibly thankful for), and I knew as I continued to grow that this would not be adequate sleeping arrangements, and we were living out of a suitcase. Okay, something had to give. In steps my mother......... what a wonderful, well-intentioned woman she is. She has been a God Send and made a wonderful sacrifice for us. We had had no luck selling our house, and that did not seem to be changing for awhile (for a number of reasons, to come in later blogs). Anyways, my mom had her own house, yes it is tiny, yes it isn't ideal, yes it's barely big enough for 1 person much less Will and I and a newborn baby, but she offered to let us live in her house and she would move out until our house sold. We almost couldn't accept the offer because we did not want her to be put out of her house, but it was the best solution any of us could come up with and it saved us from having to pay a rent house payment and a mortgage payment all at the same time, so we accepted. She moved in with my grandma, and that is the arrangement to this day. We will move out as soon as the house sells. That's the deal. THANK YOU MOM! ~We Love You!~
