Living Arrangements

What a crazy exciting time us Fergs. Todd has started his new job and is lovin it!!! I mean loving it! He's gettin the feel for the employees and the management staff. And taking advantage of his new employee discount!! Can't wait until I get my discount card!! Watch out world Mrs Paige hasn't been shoppin in months!! Don't worry people, we won't go overboard...afterall we are trying to figure out where we are going to live! Speaking of living.

Let's talk living arrangement! Todd is in Bartlesville! That's his new home! He is staying with his bro and Rachael. We are so blessed to have them down there to have friends and to have a place to stay. Thanks!! Todd not only has to work, but also find us a place to live! We are looking at buying our first home...or renting.

I am in Springfield living by myself for the first time in 5 years...actually the first time ever! It's a bit lonely. My nights consist of me coming home from work, looking around at all the boxes (empty and full) and trying to figure out where to start. Depending on how hungry I am I with either start packing or start cooking dinner. By cooking dinner I mean, look in the cabinet and decide on soup or tuna or mac n' cheese or take-out. However knowing I don't have much food, the first night I decided to make cookies...and I ate half of the batch...oh let me tell you I only made like 10 cookies so it's not like I ate lots....however 5 cookies felt like lots, especially after my belly looked like a pregnant lady's belly. beautiful! The first night I was alone I think I ate all night and watched tv all night and was not motivated to do anything. Well until 8:00 at night, I caught a second wind (the the first wind) and packed a few more boxes. ((note to self, my readers are bored with your blog, spice it up, or speed it up)) Ok, so yesterday our Sunday School class had our married Bible study. We are studing the book Song of Soloman. Wow, it's spicy! Yesterday the subject was sex. Who would of thought the word of God has descriptive scripture of love making. I think the preacher on the tape, Tommy, said "Steamy" a couple of times. ((I wonder if that made a few reader decide to read the Song of Soloman as their next book to read??))

I am fortunate to have wonderful friends! Christina and Wyatt allowed me to stay with them Saturday night so I wouldn't be alone. They are great!! Thanks guys you are an amazing couple and I will cherish our friendship!! So now I am living among boxes again. I'm loving it! My sister says that my garage is gammed pack with stuff and it's a mess...and she wonders what it is...I'm like that is everything from inside my house, sis, I AM MOVING you know! OH yeah. I love my sis! ((side note: if you come over to my house, or if you are one of the lucky ones who want to help move us, you will notice we have gathered lots of boxes, lots of furniture, and lots of love through the years. Don't mind the mess.))

The plan this week is to get the entire house packed up and boxes moved to the garage. Then I will deep clean the house! The duplex is up for sale, so I can't leave the place a mess.

Thanks for your prayers and your love. Until next time! And just so you know there are more than just 2 things that live in Oklahoma. Now there are three... ____ and ____ and the Ferguson's!

Where the Heck is Bartlesville, Oklahoma??

The answer would be the new location for Todd and Paige!! Sad but true! We are moving to Bartlesville, OK! Todd has a new management job at the Gap store in the mall (starts Mon 4/9/07) and I am still hunting...or just starting to hunt for a new job there. Todd will head down and start work. My last day at Bolivar will be the 20th. It's really sad to be leaving a place I have been working for for almost 6 years.

So Why Oklahoma and Why Bartlesville? Well, simply because Shane and Rachael live there! Or at least that is why we started looking...oh about 3 weeks ago. We like the town; it's not a big city but it is bigger than Cabool. About 35k ppl and it has Wal-Mart and lots of churches and a good pizza place and a nice baseball field and it's home for Phillips 66 (which we only care about if I get a good job there) and it's about 2.5-3 hours away from Spfld. Not too far away!!! We are planning on getting a place with a quest room and yes it will furnished with a queen size bed for you to sleep comfortably!!! I'm assuming if you are reading this, you like us and you will want to come and visit! And we will make it baby friendly for all ya'll with little ones. And animal friendly for you crazy cats out there!

Please keep praying for us and our new adventure. Pray that I find a suitable job and that this transition runs smoothly. I know Shane and Rachael are more excited than anyone else, but hopefully the rest of you will be thrilled as well. Todd and I are excited, although we are going to miss our family, our friends, our church, and our normal Springfield routines very very much. We love you all and we will be visiting soon. wait...we haven't left yet. silly me.
