Well, Praise the Lord!!! Finally!

So, this post may not be as humorous as some others... but there was a big announcement today! My grandparents have been trying to sell their house for a little over 2 years now.
Some background on this...

This is the only house they have lived in as a married couple. They have now been there for 56 years. Wow!! It is in a small town in Indiana. When i was growing up, i referred to the state as, "the old people state". I hear stories from "back in the day", when their small town of New Castle was booming with people and businesses. My mother has great stories of her childhood there. Now, this blog will not be exact on every detail, but this is how i understand it. Over the past several years, plants were closed and businesses kinda went downhill. The roaring town from yester-year, is not really there anymore. I always tell people how much my grandparents street brings a smile to my face. Over the past few years, many of the houses have been abandoned or have just been poorly taken care of. But, there in the middle of it all, is my grandparents "little blue house", with their American flag waving and perfect looking yard. Oh that house! The memories that I have from there. From piling all the grandkids on the living room floor, to playing with "the outside toys", the whole family gathering at the small dining room table, singing around the piano, watching Cool Runnings on vhs, jacks doughnuts, the awesome gas station cappachino, walking to granny's house, the smell of their home, wonderul home cooked meals, sitting around for hours after a meal and telling stories and so much more. It is safe to say, that is one of my favorite places. There are few places in this world that instantly make you feel like you are "home". This will always be one of them. I guess you have guessed by now what the big announcement is. They got word from the bank that it is 100% for sure sold. We have known for a few weeks now, but we got the definte from the bank today. In a little over a month, my grandparents will finally be residents in Nashville, TN. We are so happy to have them down here. The running joke is that they have more friends than any of us do. They are very loved and many people cant wait for this move. I will make my final trip to Indiana next weekend. I plan on taking my video camera and also taking many pictures. I am sure as i pull away for the last time, i will have a good cry. But, I couldn't be happier for them. Please pray for them in the next few weeks. Not only do they have a lot of work ahead of them, but they have a hometown, a wonderful church family and many friends to say good-bye to. Welcome to Nashville Mamaw and Papaw... You are gonna love it!!!!
