Great News!!

Well, McKinley's t-ball game went okay. They had to be there at 7:50 A.M. for pictures (which I think was a very bad idea), and it was extremely cold here Saturday. By the time the game started at 9:00 most of the kids looked pretty bored. By 9:45, McKinley started crying because she was cold and tired. I think if they hadn't of had to been there so early, she would've been fine. She wouldn't play the rest of the game though. Her first bat she got a double (for you non-sports fans that means she got to second base on her hit). In the outfield, if the ball came anywhere near her all the other kids ran over, and she'd start to chase it, then stop. She probably figured "why bother?". Let the others get it. It was pretty funny, and would've been much more enjoyable if it hadn't of been so cold. Austin and I looked at a house out in New Hope on Saturday, and we put in an offer. It's a small, cute house in a nice, family subdivision. She accepted our offer, and today we signed a contract to close the deal on May 31st. I'm so excited!! We have a house!! Ben and Melissa drove by it with us yesterday. It's too bad we can't show anyone the inside for awhile, but everyone will know exactly where it is, by the time we can. Amanda, it's just a couple of minutes down the road from your old house. When ya'll come back to visit (I know it could be awhile) I'd love you and Darren to come by!! If I had a camera I would take some pictures to share with ya'll. Of course I don't have anyway to get them onto the computer so a camera wouldn't help much anyway. That will be our next purchase, after we get a new bedroom suit. We have a very old, hard bed, and my old dresser and chest of drawers. I'm hoping to put that stuff in the spare rooms, and get something new for us. We'll see. I hope everyone is doing great. We are working really hard to get ready for the MCT (Mississippi Curriculum Test) at school. They take reading on Tues, Language on Wed, and Math on Thurs. I told them they better try very hard b/c they have one day to show the state of Mississippi that they are ready for the 4th grade. Hardly seems fair does it? But I won't go into that now or this blog will be reeeaaalllly long. Everyone have a great week. I'll be checking in. -
