Change of Venue

A change is never easy but sometimes it is for the best and only good can come from it.  That is the change we find ourselves in as we change venues for the daily struggle of life.  Terra Benedicta is moving to another and better piece of land with a much bigger house.  These changes were forced on us by our mortgage company, Citimortgage.  When the pay cut was made a year and half ago we took a reduced monthly payment.  But the mortgage company filed with the government as if it was a default loan, got a bunch of bail out money, and then turned and foreclosed on the property.  The comforting thing is that we are not alone and it has been done to many people and by a few different BIG banks.  The horrible part is that it has been done to so many people and nothing is done to these companies.  BEWARE!  I have no fears in saying we are a borderline communistic country.  If you have any interest in reading the sad stories regarding just Citimortgage (and this is just a 10th of the stories) go to http://www.customerservicescoreboard.com/Citi+Mortgage?&mes=comment 

On a happier note, the house is on 100s of acres of land with no neighbors as far as the eye can see.  It is so much bigger than what we have now.   It has a big barn, a front and back porch, and is far off the road which will be better for the kids and the dust.  The owners will also do a lease purchase with us!  It was a total work of God the way the whole thing happened.  The location will make life more simple as it is between the two schools and yet closer to the city.  I can not wait to get into it!!!!!  Packing is taking place at the moment.

We will keep the title of Terra Benedicta with us no matter where we go as it describes more our family's story then it does an actual place.  Updates will be made more often to the blog.  Over the next few days I have a lot to catch up on, lots of pictures to share, and many funny stories to share.  We have been very busy with our little autistic one not to mention the running, running, running between volleyball, soccer, play rehearsals, homecoming, etc.  Please keep praying for us!!!!  We are coasting on the wind of your prayers and only staying airborne by the grace of God!!!  Thank you Jesus for Your unending love.  And to the Holy Queen for her constant prayers and love.
