I'm Sssoooo Tired

Man I don't know what the deal is, but I am so tired today. I feel like I've done so much when in reality I've done very little. Other than work and dinner I haven't done much else. I think it's more stress than exhaustion. I'm trying to get all the stuff together for the loan on the house and trying to keep the house going. I always knew Richard did alot around the house and trust me I was very grateful. However, now that he hasn't done much the last 4 days, I feel like there is so much to do. It's going to be a long 8 weeks - so pray for me to have patience and to be able to keep up with all of it. The thought of moving without all his help is really stressful, but I guess it will all get done.
The loan process is moving along. We only have a few documentations that need to be made (or so they tell me) and then we can close next week MAYBE. You all know how that process goes. There is so much to get done before we can move and I am trying to keep a positive attitude. Don't get me wrong I am so excited about the possible new house, but I would be more positive if my husband were not in a cast. I know I will have plenty of help - I just feel bad for him to - he will want so much to help and won't be able to. Brandon - now you can repay us for all the times we have moved you guys :).
Jacob is done with TAKS test for this year and he is so glad. He had a perfect score on the reading and said the math was pretty easy - Nathaniel took math today and said he thinks he did well. I'm just glad for everyone these tests are almost over.
This buying a house thing has taught me alot of things. Number one, people don't move nearly as quickly as I want them to. Number two, God does not move as quickly as I want him to - and for that I am grateful. Isn't amazing how God's timing is perfect and if we can just learn to wait on him our lives will make more sense and be so much better. I wish I could walk in faith like other people I know. I mean I walk in faith but not completely. I am always second guessing the things that are happening, even when I've prayed about them. I know I need to learn to trust God more and depend on his grace and guidance. My prayer today is that whatever happens in my life will be becuase I allowed God to take over and reign in my life completely. God is awesome all the time not just in the good times.

It's a Monday

Wow it has been one heck of a day. Trying to get some things settled and fixed. Richard has a fractured bone in his foot and will be in a cast until June 13th. What fun that will be for all of us. In addition to that, my lender called and said the underwriters have approved our loan. Now we must provide all the other documentation they need. However he said it all looked great and we should be closing next week. So everyone keep praying that all goes well and that we can get the house. Now with Richard having a cast - you can imagine who will do most of the packing - haha. He thinks it is funny. This is all i have time for right now.

All In A Days Time

You know sometimes a day is so full of eventful things that all you can do when you finally get to sit down is sigh. We have been on the go all day. First of all, I didn't finish laundry last night until this morning - 1:00 this morning that is. But now that I am sitting here I'm glad I did it last night and don't have to do it today. Then we are up and at it all day. After Jake's games we all went over to "the house" to look again. We all just sat there and talked about what we should do or shouldn't do. I wish we would hear something so I can move on one way or the other. My sister and Bran were in town and that was wonderful. It felt like I haven't seen her in forever. I sure do miss her being here in town with us. Now everyone is gone and I am sitting here relaxing. We should be working on the house or something, but I guess it will all get done when it needs to be done. You know things happen that never cease to amaze me and people deal with emotions very differently. I'm glad God gives us forgiving hearts and I wish our minds would forget the way our hearts are capable of forgiving. I can't imagine where we would be if God didn't forget our sins as well as forgive them. I'm grateful today for family and good friends and the blessings that the Lord has given me. I hope you all have a good Saturday.

What a Day

Man it is 9:30 and I am just now starting laundry. It's my fault - we went on our date and got back late. It was worth it. It was nice to be out of the house doing nothing for a little while. We had a good dinner with Brandi and Shay and the girls and had a good time at the baseball game. Richard and I went over to "the house" just to look around and were talking about all the things we are going to do. I'm still not really wanting to talk about it because I don't want to get my hopes up. Richard is more optimistic than I am. He says he already knows it is ours or else God would have already stopped the process. I am praying he is right. In any case I'm trusting God to do his perfect will. I can handle whatever that is. That doesn't mean I won't be disappointed if we don't get that house but I will accept it as God's will. Well I'm out for the night. Hope you all have a blessed weekend.

TGIF

Yeah it is finally Friday and I am so looking forward to the weekend. It will be busy but it won't be work so that will be good. Jacob has a double header, but we get to see my sister this weekend and I can't wait for that. Date time tonight for us - haha dinner and a baseball game - what an awesome date! I'm looking forward to it. This blogging thing is pretty neat. It's a good way to vent and share. I hope to share more than vent. We have had a pretty good week. The boys were great this week and there wasn't much complaining. We still haven't heard anything back about the house we are trying to purchase and that has been frustrating for me. Don't people realize I'm a "need to know now" kind of person. I know I should be more patience. Cudos to you Brandi on your blog about patience. I will update everyone as soon as I know something. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'll post pic's if it all goes good.

Goodnight

Well it's finally the end of the day and we are finally home for the evening. Thank you mom for keeping the kids and thank you Rosie, Vicky, Danielle and mom and dad and nate for being there for Jake's game tonight when Richard and I couldn't. It's wonderful to have such a great family. I am just sitting here watching my boys getting along. That doesn't happen often. They are out on the deck looking up at the stars while Nate reads to Jake. Deep down I know they always love each other but it sure is nice to see them show it every now and then. I am truly blessed with the most wonderful boys in the world - even though sometimes I want to lock them up and throw away the key. It's about time to put them all to bed and have some much needed quiet time to myself. I'm sure I won't revel in it for long because I will fall asleep as soon as it gets quiet. Anyway I have been blessed with another great day. I hope you have too. Until tomorrow - May God bless you through the night with rest and re-energizing for the end of the week.

Half The Battle

Okay half the battle is just figuring out how to set up your page. With some help from some friends I think I've got it set up - or at least for now. Like I said earlier, I'm not sure how well I will keep up with this but we will give it a shot. It will be nice to be able to share what is going on in our lives with my friends. Especially those who I don't talk to on a daily basis. Today has already been a crazy day. The kids in class are wild - I guess they are feeling the end of school drawing near and are as anxious as I am to get the summer started. We have a lot to do this summer. I'm sure I will be sharing our adventures here along with great pic's.

I have no idea....

how this will go. I'm not good at keeping up with stuff like this but I'll try. By the way - thanks Brandi for getting me started. I'll have to post more later as I am at work right now.
