They found him not guilty! Our faith in the justice system is almost completely gone. My kids are upset and feel like they have been abused by the system. We are all shocked by this!
According to the prosecutor the judge and the defense attorney are in shock as well. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

I hate good-byes.
Of course, I don't know anyone that likes them. JM might a little. He is leaving our house for the last time and moving to TX to be near his girlfriend and college. Yes, we are moving to TX too, but it will be 4 hours away and he will not be living with us. He is just very excited to be near her. So as he is driving off and waving good-bye he will have a smile on his face I am sure. He is starting a new chapter in his life I just have to pray that the Lord will bless him. His father and I did our best with him. Of course we are only a phone call away and will always help him if needed, but it just makes you feel a little less needed.
We also went to see my family and hubby's family yesterday. We said our good-byes to them. As I am hugging my sister and my mom we are all crying. I asked them not to but they didn't listen. I am tearing up thinking about it. What a sap! Hubby's family there wasn't any tears that I could see. They all said good-bye but no one teared up. I am sure they were sad, don't get me wrong, but it was just different.
We leave March 3rd for TX. I am getting ready to call a place about a home. I am nervous! I hate making these calls but it is much easier when you have a more definitive date. I will let you know how it goes.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we have to meet with the prosecutor. Remember when John was attacked? Well we have to go to court on Wednesday morning. We meet with the prosecutor Tuesday then court on Wednesday. We were so hoping that they would plead the case out, but I guess it didn't work that way and we are on our way to court. I am a nervous wreck already with the move and all, now I have to add this to it! UGH! I need some prayer! PLEASE!!! ;-)
I will update more in the next few days.

Date For Moving Day
We have known that we were moving but didn't know when. That was a tough one as it is hard to plan life when you don't know what life is going to be. We were told to be ready ASAP basically so we alerted our friends and made some vague plans. Well on Tuesday we got a date. Dh basically got to pick the date so he gave us a tad bit more time. He starts his job on March 9th. He will work until Feb. 27th at this plant, take the following week off, and start March 9th. I am thankful he has the week off to help and get settled. We have a plan in motion for now.
We also gave our 2 week notice to pizzaBOGO yesterday. Let me tell you, that is one pizza I will miss eating! If you haven't tried it yet, you should. Make sure you sign up for their e-mail club so you can get the coupon for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Anyway... our last day there will be the Feb. 21.
Friday is our last day for co-op. I wanted the boys to continue as long as they could, but John said it would be best to stop this week and put school on hold until we are settled. With school on hold it give me more time to focus on packing. Seth has part of his room taken care of and Joshua started on his room too so we are "working on it". JM is about packed up. He will be leaving early as he is going to see Shelbie and get settled in his own apartment. My baby is moving out! That is even scarier!
I am getting very excited, but at the same time scared as can be. We have no housing lined up yet. Because of that, I have 3 dogs I don't know what to do about. The thought of not taking them with me is KILLING me! I love my dogs. They are such good dogs but if we don't have housing lined up, then I don't know if we can find a place to live with them. If I have to find homes for them, I would rather do it here so I know they will get a good home. This is so hard! Casey has been with us for 11 years! She is the family baby! How do you leave that behind? It is tough that is for sure!
Friday is John's birthday. He will be old... LOL Just kidding. He is turning 44 on Friday. We were going to do a weekend get-a-way but with the move and all, we thought it best to save our money and use it for moving. Moving is very $$$$$!!! We are going to dinner on Friday and maybe do something together on Saturday too but we will be coming home. Then we have to work on Saturday. What fun for Valentine's Day!! ;-) Anyway I have a gift card to Longhorn and another one on the way for Longhorn (curtesy of mypoints.com ... use my new e-mail addy when you sign up;-). With the gift cards it will help out a lot. If I get the other one it will be $35 in gift cards. That is a good chunk. I love Longhorn!
Oh! Something sweet! John called me this morning after he left for work. He said he felt empty or that something was wrong. He asked if he kissed me good-bye and said I Love you? He said if he didn't he was very sorry! Awww! How sweet! I couldn't remember myself and told him I wasn't sure either. He said if we did it was more of a routine thing and that wasn't good. So we said "I love you" over the phone and said we would make up for it after I got home from work. That just put some love in my heart.
Have a good day!

Some news for you!
We are moving! Where to, you may ask, well.... Fort Worth, TX are. We are doing so within 4 weeks! YIKES!!!! JB's job has an opening and he volunteered to take it. Scary part is that we have to do it FAST! So much work to do but at the same time we don't have all the details so it will be hard. They wanted him Monday but obviously that isn't going to happen. So within 4 weeks, we should be there. We are just praying that it all goes smoothly. Anyone into Precious Moments? I have a curiou (sp?) cabinet full of them. We are trying to pack light and that is not something that is needed. I will miss them, but... Anyway, if you are interested, let me know.
Cool Bedroom Bliss Giveaway!
I went to The Secrets in the Sauce blog and found they are having a bedroom giveaway. I could use some nice stuff, but I am sure you could to. Check it out and enter!
