A Moser update!

I have realized that I rarely post on my blog without pictures. I think it is because I don't consider myself to be a great writer and I don't really enjoy writing...truth be told. But I thought I would update you a little bit on the Moser happenings since someone made a recent comment that my blog needed to be updated.

A lot has happened at the house but I still need to take some new pictures. We have finished painting which was a grueling task...but I think it turned out great! I did try to take some pics but the lighting was a little off so they didn't turn out that well. We do have some light fixtures now so I might try to take a few more today. We have some of our kitchen cabinets in and all of our bathroom vanities ;o) The tile has been started and is looking good. The outside is mainly done, just a little touch up and exterior lights. Carpet is scheduled to go in next Monday and Dave is hoping to have it finished up before Thanksgiving....crazy! I am thinking we will be moving stuff in next weekend and it might be Banquet frozen turkey dinners for us this Thanksgiving ;o) I am excited to be in before Christmas though. It will be so nice to finally feel settled...I know the kids are excited to have some feeling of normalcy back ;o) Oh and one prayer request...we need our plumber to finish up. Seriously, Dave has not been able to get a hold of him for 2 weeks and I am getting a little nervous. He is the only subcontractor we have had to use and you here stories about people taking the money and running. Anyway, to make a long story short we really need to him to finish the job he started so please pray that we would have favor with him and he would have integrity ;o)

And now for a church update...things are going well. We have had a steady crowd each week that seems to be the same people from week to week. It has been great to get to meet new people each week and to start building relationships with families that have been consistently coming back each week. Worship has been great and I have turned the nursery over to a wonderful, capable gal we have on our team so I have been able to be in the service, worship and listen to Brian preach. Sunday set up has gotten easier each week and it starting to feel like a routine (in a good way.)

With that, I am going to go and I promise to take some pictures soon. Brian and I are going to take Brock on a little hike and maybe go to lunch. Hope all is well with you in blog-land ;o)

It's true...I'm blogging again!!

I know it has been far to long since I have blogged...not because I have so many devoted readers (I know I have a few) but because I have noticed a difference in me. Something about bloggin is therapeutic for me. I am not sure why...it's not like I am a hilarious blogger like a certain friend of mine who just had a birthday...Happy belated Birthday by the way! I think the reason it is theraputic is becuase I sit down and document all the things in my crazy life and forget about the crazy day I have just had. Here are just a few of the reaons why I haven't gotten around to blogging lately:

1. The kids started a new school with 1300 kids! Yikes!!
2. We launched River City Church Missoula on Sunday with 158 people in attendance! Yea God!!
3. We are smack dab in the middle of our house building project! There is a new decision to be made everyday! Help!!
4. My laundry has been washed but hasn't been folded or put away for weeks! Seriously!!
5. Brock is a very busy 2 year old! Need I say more!!

So no I am not still at Glacier for family camp...we arrived back at home safe but we hit the ground running and it seems that we haven't had many quiet moments since. I am going to try to post each day to catch you up on the last month of our crazy life here in Missoula! Some people double fist it to deal with stress in their lives, below is a picture of Brock showing how he handles all of the stress!

A few weeks in the life of the Moser's!

So much blogging to do and so little time! I am going to try to recap the last few crazy weeks and several different blogs! I have been wanting to sit down and blog for weeks now and something always comes up...so hopefully I remember all the events as they occurred and if I don't I'll just make stuff up!

150 days later!!!

Yes, that is how long our house has been on the market...and we finally accepted an offer! After a few counter offers back and forth, our realtor called yesterday to say they accepted the offer. The offer is contingent on their house selling in the next 45 days. We also put in a "bump" clause which means someone else could come offer us cash in the meantime and we could "bump" the first offer. So the sale is actually pending (not quite sold yet) but I went ahead and made the picture to the right in hopes that it will all work out! We are thinking that we will be moving around the 1st of June... and so the packing begins! That is definitely my least favorite part of moving! We have had the privilege of being moved professionally twice and it totally spoiled us. There are a few drawbacks however...one major one is that you don't get to go through your stuff and purge. So this time I am going to take the opportunity to go through everything as I pack and try to get rid of some stuff! "Stuff" just has a way of taking over especially when you like to bargain shop! As it is, we will need two of the largest Budget moving trucks to get to Missoula. That should be interesting!

A crazy week!

What a crazy week it has been! Here are a few highlights...not in any particular order:

1. Showed our house 4 times (uuuggghhh...a lot of cleaning!)
2. Had guests from Germany stay with us for a week and a half (what a blast!)
3. Got an offer on the house
4. Brian was out of town for 3 days
5. Countered the offer on the house
6. Went out to eat too much (not as much kitchen clean-up)
7. Waiting for an answer on our counter offer
8. Had a party to watch the Cougs play in the Sweet 16 (fun, but more clean up!)
9. Got a pedicure with Abby and some friends (a nice break)
   
10. Looking forward to next week! The boys have school but Abby is on spring break so that will be a little less running around!
