Layout reads:
"April was a very hard month for our family. We sold our house at the end of March and had to be out within a few days. Unfortunately we didn’t have anywhere to go, because we were still waiting to close on our house in Texas. We decided to send the kids to Grammies and Grampy’s house in Tennesse to stay until we closed and moved into the new house, which was only suppose to be a week and a half. We got everything loaded on the moving truck and headed down to the hotel. Our first week in San Angelo was uneventful and we missed the kids like crazy. But they were getting spoiled, so they didn’t miss Mommy and Daddy too much. Our second week down here, Christie’s Grandparents came in for a visit. That definitely lifted our spirit, because we got bad news about the house. Because of some issues with Michael’s student loans and the underwriters would not give us the loan on the house. Then it was a mad dash to try to find a place to live. There were literally no rental houses in our price range and nothing available right away. The next week, we were lucky to find a two bedroom apartment available within two days, and it was just forty dollars more a month than our mortgage was. So we took it, moved our stuff in on a Friday, got it all set up and went and got the kids on a Saturday. The kids love their new Dora and Diego room and the fact that the apartment has a swimming pool. They really enjoy going over to Michael’s bosses house and seeing his chickens and playing with his older boys. I wouldn’t say that we have adjusted to life here. We miss our families very much and everything is completely and totally different but we’re slowly getting used to it."
