November!

My cousin Aaron got married! The wedding was in Indiana...It was a long trip but the kids did great!! The wedding was beautiful and so much fun.
Mika only made it through half of the reception before she fell asleep.. I'm not sure how she was able to sleep since the music was soooo loud!
So we sold our house in early November and found a house to buy. We were so excited about moving and the day before we were supposed to close on both houses we got a call from the bank telling us that the house we were buying was in a high level flood zone. We needed to bring a lot of extra money to closing to purchase flood insurance! This was news to everyone involved including the owners of the house.. Very long story short... A little creek runs behind our "new" house and FEMA designated everyone on the street to be in a high level flood zone..It is not accurate but you have to jump through hoops to get it corrected... So, we are homeless for the moment until they get it fixed. We love the house so much so we are willing to wait.. It could take 30-60 days... we are praying for 30. We have been staying with my parents ande Michaels parents.. Being homeless is starting to take a toll on everyone.

This is the back yard.. looks like a flood zone huh?? There is a creek but there is no water in it plus there is a 10ft retaining wall...FEMA, FEMA, FEMA!!!
