My new front yard!

God has been blessing our family over and over again. Each and every day I am so amazed by His provision.  We hit the road in Texas not knowing where we would end up exactly or when we would have time to find a place.  Our plans ended up changing after looking at two different homes. The first was a definite NO but the second one met ALL of our needs!  When we stepped out of the car both Sean and I knew it was the place for us! We had to find a place with at least 2 acres but I'll go into detail about how it fit our needs later. This house had only been on the rental list for ONE week! So, instead of heading straight to California for Thanksgiving we decided to snatch it up and get settled for a couple days.   The house we found is nothing special to most of you.  But it seriously meets all of our needs and I don't think we could be any more pleased.    This is what I get to wake up to every morning!  No, there is no grass here in the desert but it is definitely a beautiful sight in many ways! Supposedly there are wild burros and mustangs in those mountains. We also have lots of rabbits and coyotes.  No, we haven't seen any rattlers yet but I have been showing my children youtube videos hoping to instill some fear of those satanic creatures! Praying they stay far from my babies!

Arizona!

We made it here safe and sound and took our time driving!  Thank you so much to those who kept us in their prayers as we traveled! We definitely had the hand of God protecting us.  Also, Thank you to ALL of our friends that helped us pack and get everything loaded and out of our home in time for our inspection!  We are so grateful!

 We stayed at a couple different hotels but didn't get to swim or enjoy them too much. Just got good night sleeps!  I had fun driving the U-haul as it brought back memories from my old truck driving days :) 

So far we love it here!  Lots of pretty mountains. Something we have missed in Texas.

I do already miss my friends in Texas. God had blessed us with such an amazing church and friends!  Praying that we get plugged in and find a new church family soon! 

We are looking at homes to rent. Hoping to get something soon! Then we will be off to Cali for Thanksgiving! I have some pics to post from the trip but I need to get them off my phone and rotated. Off to visit my Grandma Bev today!
