I have finally figured out how to get to the grocery store the video store and the only fast food with in 10 miles of our house ( McDonalds -- we rarely eat there) without using the Navigation system. Zeke had a great time at Football camp last week and met a few new friends. Thanks to football camp I can now get to the county high school too. Zeke is excited about playing football for the first time this year. Rusty will be going to football camp next week and then next weekend we will headed to Florida to retrieve the last of our stuff. YEAH!!!
The local Southern Baptist church is huge and is really involved in the community. It is the first time in over 3 years that we have lived close to the church we will attend. We are excited because this offers us more opportunities to be involved. The church is only 10 minutes from the house. They have Awanas and they also have Upwards Football, soccer, and basketball. In addition to all the Upwards sports they offer a weekly Karate class at the church recreation center. We are excited about Zeke being able to pick back up into his Karate possibly at the church. This week the boys are attending the Bible School. When I dropped them off this morning there was somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-500 children at the church. It is really neat to see that much activity at a church. I have heard from several of my neighbors that the church has a really good reputation in the community.
Here is the update on the ex-husband soap opera: We got word back from the state of Florida about the re-look into how much child support he pays. Starting sometime in the next couple months he will be paying twice as much as he is currently paying. It is still not as much as he should be paying but at least now what he pays them will make up the majority of their college fund money each month. The last time he saw them was the 9th of June, and things are starting to run smoothly again. He was up in DC for a conference with his girlfriend the last weekend of the month, and didn't even attempt to call them. I was shocked. He has only called one time (4 min 28 sec phone call ) in the past 6 weeks. This has really been a blessing as it has enabled us to get into a normal routine up here. He does get them for Thanksgiving and we will have to buy tickets for that soon, but that is almost 5 months away.

Your new church sounds really great! We have really enjoyed the Upwards soccer and basketball around here. Nathan and Luke will be so jealous to hear about Upwards football! They would love to do that, but the church here doesn't have it--in fact, I didn't know Upwards even offered it anywhere!
I can't believe R was close and didn't even bother to call. Unbelieveable. Well, his loss, and as you say, better in the long run for the boys and your routine. I'm glad things are going smoothly.
It has been great not having to deal with all the little personality conflicts and bad attitudes brought on by spending time with him (R).
It was the first time I saw football offered too -- and they even have cheerleading. He actually asked for a time to call everyweek -- the first week we left -- I told him any night at 8 as that is when we are settling down for bed -- I was worried that he was actually going to start calling all the time, but as yet he has still only called once.
Looks like we may be ready to entertain company sometime around the end of July first of August. Can't wait to have you guys up and see the girls. Oh yeah -- my brother and his wife just had their 4th boy -- Tobias Christopher on the 7th.
