Cross Your Fingers, Toes and Eyes (A Little Prayer Might Help Too)

Well, we recived an email from our real estate guy again this morning. We have a new contract on the house. The last two contracts have fallen through at the last minute but we are hoping this one goes well. It turns out that this offer is made by the parents of the people who fell through with the last two due their not being able to finish the lending stuff. Sooo....before our agent sent us the contract he first called the lender to make sure everything was firm and then emailed copies of what we needed to sign and mail back to him. If all goes well, we close on the 28th of this month. We have been praying for someone to buy our house for over a year now but things have gotten harder since we arrived here in Japan as we no longer recive a housing allowance. Actually selling this house will be great.

As for what else is going on with us, some of you know that the planes that Brandon works with has had some issues, and they have grounded some of them. Its a little confusing on how it will take them 18 months to fix the problem on each plane. Couldn't they build a whole new one in less time? Oh well. It looks like half of the planes will be able to continue to fly so not much will change for us.

Joey has been sick the past week but is feeling a bit better. He was upset to not be able to go and play in the fresh snow this week.

I made my very first batch of homemade, from scratch bread this week. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. The second batch is being made right now. Its Whole Wheet Raisen Oatmeal Bread. Fun. The thing takes like 7 cups of flour!

Thats about it for us. Hope everyone else is doing well!
