BIG Changes To Come

A week ago my neighbor showed up at our door and asked me how low I was willing to go on the price of our house. I told her that obviously I could not even say a number without talking to Shaun first, but what I really wanted to say was give me five dollars and we will be out of here tomorrow! She asked me to talk to Shaun and give her call to see if we could work something out. As soon as she left I called Shaun and he came home in between work and class to talk to our neighbor. An offer was made and one week later....WE ARE MOVING!! After a year and a half of having our house on the market and only having eleven showings, we have finally sold our house!


Last October I told Shaun that I felt desperate. Desperate to get pregnant, desperate for Shaun to find a new job, desperate to sell our house. Turns out that God knew what he was doing all along; when does He not? God gave us all of these things in the order that He knew was best for us. In December Shaun started a new job that he loves. On December 29 Shaun and I got pregnant after more than a year of trying. And now in July of 2010 we have sold our house! God could not be more at work in our lives, and Shaun and I are doing our best to let each one of these events glorify Him in every way.

Right now our plans are to rent a townhouse in Vestavia, at least until December when Shaun will be done with grad school. The townhouse we want to move into is currently being renovated, so as soon as it is done we will be moving in. They said we could be looking at three to four weeks until it is done, so Shaun and I are just praying that we are able to get in there sooner than later. Whitten is kicking and flipping around right now reminding me that he will be here in just six to seven weeks, so we really want to be somewhat settled by the time he makes his arrival.

The Hays family has a few big changes ahead of us in the upcoming months. Lillian is starting Parent's Day Out Augest 10- I am going to need pregnancy safe prozac just to drop her off. Shaun will be starting his LAST semester of grad school in Augest. We will be moving just as soon as we have somewhere to live. And of course lets not forget that we will be welcoming our sweet baby boy, John Whitten, no later than September 16! It is going to be a crazy couple of months, but Shaun and I could not feel more blessed and are so excited to see what God has instore for our family.
