House Sold - Redfish Lake Cold - Being Sick Getting OLD!!!

The Big Christensen Reunion was set for the week after July 4th! Our family (Matt & I's) haven't been on the Redfish trip for four years so we were EXCITED! Monday night we got a call from a Realator with an offer on our house. Tuesday as we were driving to Idaho we counter offered. Wednesday morning at Redfish Lake, ID we recieved a call that they had accepted our offer. It was unusually cold at Redfish and we had loaded up the kids to go to the Nature Center to look around. As we pulled in the parking lot, my family all pulled up along side our car, we rolled down the windows and announced, "We are HOMELESS!" Yahoo's! and much celebration insuded!!! We found out the center was closed so we headed over to the lodge to look around. As we rolled up the window's and with a million thoughts and feelings running through our heads, Mattina from the back seat announced "I get to make new friends!" after a pause, Matt said "me too!" and I added my "me too." Jake didn't miss out on the moment and added "I too!"

The rest of the week was fun mixed with emotion. It was good that we were busy and couldn't be COMPLETELY overwhelemed ALL the time, just in quiet moments when it would hit us again. Wednesday and Thursday were cool with spurts of rain. Usually it's so so hot that the ice cold lake is delightful to be in. That's how Friday was - HOT and we loved it. We actually went tubing down the Salmon River for about an hour before hanging out on Redfish beach for the afternoon. The River was high and swift due to all the rain this year, it was fun not to hit our bottoms on the rocks as we tubed down... o.k. so Denise and I did hit a big rock that we couldn't manuvur our tubes around, but on low years you drag bottom for a while and we didn't:)
Saturday we headed home. And Monday I had a sore throat. Grrr. Tuesday a head cold. We had houses to look at and a house to pack, I can't be sick. Wednesday our friend Ben who had the same flu was better and I was not. By Friday I was sick sick and I knew I had a sinus infection, so to the doctor I went. Because I was 17 weeks pregnant and was pretty confident what it was, they gave me an antibiotic before the weekend! Yahoo righ? no. Monday I am still sick sick and now it's in my ears and I can't hear anything. Wednesday my Mom and Dad show up to help pack boxes and I head to the Doctor again. Since I'm pregnant and have now been sick for 10 days, she gives me a new antibiotic that you only take for 5 days. I should feel better in 24 - 48 hours. Yahoo right? no. It is now Friday, and I think my hearing is worse and I still cough and feel crummy. I am so SICK of being SICK!!! and it's not pregnant sick either, just a bug gone BAD.
We found a house in Syracuse on Wednesday evening. We put an offer in on Thursday morning. Matt called at noon today to say that they counter offered and he was excited to take it. I am so excited. It is a darling darling house. I am praying that there are friends there for our family to make, because we are having a difficult time leaving the neighborhood and friends here that we love, love, love.

We have felt like Heavenly Father has been guiding our steps so far, so I guess we will keep moving our feet:) Love you all!!!
