The Moving Chonicles

Here's to moving - it sucks.

But I know God is bigger than my worries.

Info on Powers - the new home of the Pedricks:

Powers

We put our house on the market yesterday. It is priced lower than what we thought it could be worth. We hoped to knock out that student loans but if it sells at the listing price it won't cover it and us still have a down payment on a new house.

Another chance to trust I guess.

But God has been gracious in showing us that we are on the right path.

The house we are looking to rent/but in Powers is owned by that dad of a lady whose son goes to preschool with David. Got that? This lady grew up in Powers and was the steady girlfriend of the current superintendent of Powers.

The guy at second or third place I called to get a quote for moving said, "Powers? I know about Powers. I have a good friend in Powers. He's the principal of the high school. We e-mail each other every day." What are the odds? I mean Powers only has a isolated 730 people. God is good. The mover came out to check out our place and give us a quote. Easy to talk to. We joked about how Powers schools could actually be making money on us. With 3 (and 4 in a couple years) kids i nthe district, Kayne's salary it nearly paid with the state funding the district will receive from the influx of students. Kayne is a bargain! :)

Now here's praying that is sells fast. Maybe people will get in a offer/bidding war and drive the price up. I can dream, right?

My tasks for the day - get Kayne done at NKN. He wore his Powers, Oregon hat for his last inservice day. And pack one 1/4 of the basement - lots of unused toys to get rid of. And call the local thrift store to see if they pick up.
