Rejoice with Me!
Thank you for your prayers! I’m just rejoicing all over the place for the wonderful 24 hours or so I’ve had. I’ll tell you all the good things in the order they happened.
1. We didn’t have cheerleading practice last night, so I had an hour and a half to myself while waiting for the other kiddos to be done with practice. I got to clean out the van (14 empty and half-empty water bottles in the trash!) and take a half an hour walk around the park.
2. It was Wit’s birthday, and we got Pearl Harbor on DVD and watched it once the younger three were in bed.
3. This morning, we all got to sleep in since we stayed up late watching the movie.
4. The book I needed for homeschool this week, Theras and His Town, which was lost for a week and a half was found! I had torn the house apart for so many days and was despairing.
5. LibbyK and I went out to lunch with TGD which was yummy and fun.
6. I found out my dear friend Linda U. is expecting baby #8.
7. We got an email from Cambridge. It read, “I can now confirm that my wife and I would be happy to let Conduit Tail to you
for the five months from January to May 2008 and look forward to meeting
you.” The house is ours! I’m so excited.Here’s a picture of the house. Isn’t it so spiffy and Englishy?
For those of you who are confused, we are moving to Cambridge for TGD’s sabbatical January through May of 2008. Then, we will return to PA. We are not moving for good.What has you rejoicing of late?

WOW! what a beautiful house to let. so happy for you (and happy for the rest of your fabulous day)
That is totally awesome. I look forward to the days when LadyJ and I will have the time/money to do such things.
The house looks just like I thought it would. You must be very excited.
That house is the most British thing I’ve seen in my entire life.
I’m very happy things have worked out as they have.
Love the house! It looks like something out of a P&P movie, you must be so thrilled.
That is great to hear!! I bet yall are thrilled!! The house looks very lovely..
its a kickin’ english crib, fo sho
I echo englishwestern’s sentiments: it is a “kickin’ english crib” indeed.
I’ll have to go check it out on my way home from work today!
BTW- nothing’s settled yet on my end, but I may be in Cambridge for part of January, in which case I might be able to see you again! Hooray!
Wow – so many good things in such a short time!
I love the house and am so glad it worked out. Like rjdohner said, it reminds me of something from P&P.
Can you please adopt me from Jan to May??
OOOh, that is SOOO wonderful!!!!!!!!!! I’m happy for you AND also green with envy!
Congrats on the spiffiness!
Absolutely love it!!! So happy for you!
Oh goodness, that house is adorable! Please please please take tons of pictures, inside and out, and especially of you all living in it. I want to live through you…
Sounds like a great day!!!!! Oooohhhhhhh I’m jealous(sp?) that house is sooooooo cool!! Of course, I can see how it could be hard to leave for that long. Still, that will be an awesome experience!!!!!
That’s a pretty spiffy house, i’m happy you guys got it! What are you going to do with your house here while you’re gone?
Ima get to it.
That does look like a totaly English house! I’d have you look up my former roommate while you’re there, but he’s a bit of a wild child.
Rejoicing? With you and that house! What adventures await……!
That is so awesome!!
You will speak out against the slander of the Good King Richard III won’t you?
This is livin’, this is style, this is elegance by the mile
Oh the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me
First cabin and captain’s table regal company
Whenever I’m bored I travel abroad but ever so properly
Port out, starboard home, posh with a capital P-O-S-H, posh
The hands that hold the scepters, every head that holds a crown
They’ll always give their all for me they’ll never let me down
I’m on my way to far away tah tah and toodle-oo
And fare thee well, and Bon Voyage arrivederci too
O the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me
Wow, that last comment was posh in the extreme. And who is that cute baby?! :*)
What has me rejoicing? That YOU are rejoicing! Besides that I will get to go out to dinner with my husband this week (hey, even it is a fundraising banquet).
Congratulations on the trip and the beautiful home you’ll have!! Wouldn’t my husband *love* to do that!!!! (But I won’t fly.) How exciting!
That house looks wonderful! I’m glad you had people to stand in the gap for you and pray. I completely missed this opportunity. How cool is that? Living in such an English-y house right through an English spring! You have to come back though, you know that.
Wow! Very Englishy! Love it! I also love the cheerleaders! YAY!
