Some of my work =)

I have been really wanting to get into photography, I would like to take a class first. But here is what I have done on my own. I must say I have some very very cute models =) So maybe one day...

By the way we are still settling in. We are still living with family and kinda having a hard time finding something to rent but I have faith that God will lead us to a great house soon. =) I'm so thankful for family!

New State!

We finally made it to our new home town, Lincoln, Nebraska.

We left on Monday, Monte and Rosco in the Uhaul and me and the girls my car following. We left at around 3:00 p.m. and about an hour into the trip we get stopped because a camper and a truck caught on fire, so we had to sit there about 30-45 minutes. So we ended up driving about 7 or so hours and stopping somewhere in Illinois and staying the night. We were all so exhausted from all the crying (on my part) and driving we were passed out as soon as our heads hit the pillow. We got up and left around 9 and drove 7 more hours to Topeka, Kansas to my in-laws to stay the night. Now the girls have done amazing this whole drive until about an hour before we got to my in-laws and A just had enough she was over it all. LOL but I turned on some Dr. Jean and VBS music and she was good to go. We stayed the night there and then left around 9 and got to Nebraska about 11:30 or 12:00. So we are here safe and learning our new town. Seems a lot easier to get around then Tuscaloosa I must say though.

The hardest part of moving was saying good bye to my mom and also our house. That house is all my kids have ever known. We moved there when LL was 10 months and A was born there, well not actually born in the house but ya know what I mean. =) My sweet momma broke my heart. I hate that I am taking her grand babies away from here bc she is just amazing to them but I have to do what's best for my family and go where God wants us. So far I am very happy here, around family and friends. And guess what we have babysitters lol that is where the girls are now for the weekend, my in-laws. That's pretty stinking cool!! =) RTR!

Big Changes Coming To The Petersen Clan!

My big announcement is, drum roll please.............. The Petersen Family of Four will be blogging next week from our new home in Nebraska!

This has been such a long, on going process for the past month. Let me just tell you how good our God is. We have been trying to sell our house now on and off for the past two years. Well we decided that we wanted to move to Nebraska to be closer to Monte's family. Get this the VERY NEXT DAY someone called and made an offer on our house No lie people true story. So at that point Monte had already put a couple applications in but once we heard this news he was filling them out left and right. About a week after that we find out that there are two places wanting to interview him and listen here OVER THE PHONE so that he doesn't have to fly all the way up there. Ok so at this point all we are waiting on is to see if our house appraised for what we were asking for it which by the way the buyers offered full amount and we pay closing, which worked out great. So finally after waiting and stressing, because the whole time our realtor just wasn't very positive it would appraise for what we were asking since there has been so many foreclosures in our subdivision. So I am so on and off about moving ya know I have only known one home and that's Alabama, grew up in Florence moved to Muscle Shoals after high school then down to Tuscaloosa for the last 4 years. I start praying to God, please just give me a BIG "here's your sign" type of deal as if selling the house after two years of trying once deciding to move up there wasn't enough lol We get the call ok listen people this is AMAZING! Not only did it appraise for what we were asking but it appraised for $2,000 more. My God is GOOD ALL THE TIME! He said here Megan that should tell you this is where I want you and your family. And I couldn't be more excited to follow His plan. Of course I will desperately miss my momma and family but God knows best and I want to do it His way. =) And it makes me feel better that it appraising that much has also given my mom peace since she is having such a hard time with the move.

So now we are just waiting on a closing day, which was supposed to be Monday and now has changed so who knows when lol But we still plan to leave on Tuesday. So let's pray it happens then. It's all in God's time and well that's just fine with me.=) So I will be so busy packing and all I will not be able to blog until we move and get settled probably maybe I can sneak in a blog in a few days. lol We will see.

I want to add in.... I thank everyone for making our time here in Tuscaloosa awesome. We will truly miss you all and hope to stay in touch. And maybe I will be back to visit soon since family is only 2 hours from here and of course there is Bama football, gotta get back to a game. =) RTR!!!
