Visit From Friends

This past Saturday we had some very good friends over. It’s kind of funny because I did a goodbye post about this family last week, but it wasn’t exactly goodbye for good! J We just can’t keep apart for long, especially knowing we won’t get to see each other once we move.

 

Speaking of the move, WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!! The amazing part is this: we showed our house over 30 times and had only gotten one low offer. Then my Abuelo called early last week and said he had a dream that we had sold our house. We took that as a good sign, and continued to wait.

 

Later in the week Dad made a comment. He has been studying the book of Mark and had been contemplating how many times 40 days comes up in the Bible as a period of testing and waiting. He wondered if God would have us wait 40 days to sell our home.

 

Well, Wednesday we got a good offer on our home! When Mom and Dad did the math later that night, they came to the realization that from the day we put our house on the market to the day we received the offer was 40 days. Isn’t that amazing? It was further confirmation to us that everything about this move is happening in God’s timing. Right now it looks like we will be Texas-bound by the end of the month!

 

Anyhow, I’m not sure how I got off on that tangent, but I thought ya’ll would like to know. J But back to our friends. Mr. P was the team leader for our missions trip to Haiti, and since we’ve gotten back our families have become really good friends. I have come so close to calling him “Uncle” by mistake a few times. J We really wanted to get together with their whole family a few times before we move.



We got together for a big family dinner of pizza, popcorn, chips and salsa, veggies with dip, fruit salad, pumpkin pie pudding with homemade whipped cream, brownies, cookies, and candy.

 

The twins had a lot of fun playing with little D. This guy is FULL of energy! If I had half of his energy I would be so much more productive.

The kids also had fun playing games with his older brother G. This game of Monopoly went on for quite awhile!

Later in the evening, Mr. P taught us how to make paper footballs (he seems to be the champion at making these.) He also managed to fix a problem with our computer, which we REALLY appreciate! J It’s nice having your own Geek Squad!

We had a lot of fun throughout the evening laughing, visiting, looking at pictures and catching up with each other. I love their family, and we’re so glad they could come over!
