Lots of news!

Well, a lot has changed since my last post.  Coop has a job now with the Tennessean.  The pay is decent and there isn't the traveling involved like the other opportunity.  Today marks the end of his first week there and I think he is going to like it there.

We are now living in our rental house.  I really like the house.  I would like it a lot better if our household goods were here but it looks like they won't be here until around August 10th.  It is good to be on our own again.  It still feels weird to be near family on a regular basis, but we are dealing with it pretty well.

The kids are adjusting okay.  I think things will be better for them once we have their toys and such here, but for now they are doing okay.  They like having their own rooms again.  Poor Sofie isn't a fan of all the hardwood flooring here though.

Overall, a weight has been lifted off of us.  We were seriously starting to crack with no job and no house and all of the things that go along with that.  Technically he was only unemployed for a little over a month which is nothing in today's economy, but when you are in the middle of it, it seems like forever.

So here we are, building a new life here in TN.  I think in the long run it will be the best decision for us.
