This totally has nothing to do with DS, well, indirectly maybe it does 
... but since it is a WONDERFUL story and I told you all I would share when it was "time" , coupled with the fact it does have to do with another member here , I will share it here in the main forum.
Ok... Kevin and I have been planning on moving for a year now. We decided last Feb 2005 we wanted to get the house ready and sell. We needed a bigger house, newer house, and in a subdivision with more amenities and KIDS! So.. we set out on a quest for the "perfect" area. In that quest I came across a subdivision that had all I wanted... I showed Kevin. We loved it there! We toyed with staying where we were and moving in town.. or farther out, to the next county... new home, used, ect... and we kept going back to this one subdivision. While driving one day in the subd. we just loved , I noticed a name on a mailbox... TOTTEN. I said to Kevin "hm, that is Deanna's (from Uno ) last name and her parents DO live in O Fallon, what are the chances?" I then asked Deanna where her parents lived in O Fallon and she told me it was the SAME subd. we did drive in.. it WAS their house... TOO COOL we thought!
Then... Deanna's dad took a job in CO months ago. Deanna had a great idea once that we could buy their parents house! Kevin and I thought.. great.. but when would they want to sell it, ect... time progressed, we toyed with staying here again, Kevin's job was iffy, ect... but we decided we were interested and her parents were interested in the idea... so recently we saw the house. It's the one floor plan I LOVE the best... it's a beautiful house! So... we are getting ready to buy Deanna's parent's house in the track we LOVE the best!!!!!
I waited to tell you all because we were kinda waiting on the price and stuff.. and we just signed a contract to sell ours... the sign goes up in 2 weeks (YIKES) and off we go!!!
So... it's a trip and so neat..how God works sometimes... because.. if it wasn't for Unomas.. and meeting Deanna 2 yrs ago.. and then meeting her family 2 yrs ago (we all did the buddy walk together and dinner at my house) this would NOT be possible!!!!
We are SOOO excited we are beside ourselves. And Kevin talked to Deanna's dad again last night... and her dad told Kevin, "as far as we are concerned, we only want to sell the house to you guys"... which made Kevin's day! We feel like some extended family!!!!
And now Deanna knows where we live she can come visit!!!
So... that is my story!!!
