Wait....Search....Wait.....Wait Some More

We continue to search for houses, we have found one that we are in love with.  We have seen the inside and we have talked with a banker about funding.  Now we Wait!!!  Our house is still on the market and there does not seem to be anyone interested in it.  It's hard to not get frustrated and discouraged.  I keep telling myself that it's fine and that what will be will be, but it's not working often. Here is the house that we would dream of having.......one day......if it's meant to be.

November Thankful

Week 2 Nov. 8th through 14th

Day 8: I am thankful for the ability to drive and have a reliable vehicle that gets me where I need to be.  I think that this is one thing that we take for advantage of. 

Day 9:  I am thankful for my Mother In Law.  I am super lucky to have such a great extended family.  She has accepted me coming in and has been just as understanding about my moods and personality as her son has been.

Day 10: I am super thankful for Regan.  He is my father and dad and the best one there is.  He stepped in after he met my mother like we were his own born children.  Love and discipline it didn't matter.  He has been super involved in supporting me as I have grown and has been a big part of who I am.

Day 11:  I am thankful for my furry children, Daisy and Precious.  Although there are days that I don't seem to be thankful I am.  They have been there when I felt like there was no one there.
    

Day 12:  I am thankful for nap time!  I am an adult who loves/needs naps.  I am super bummed when my son decides not take naps because I can not nap.  My world will change when he quits naps all together.  Naps allow me to refresh.  For some reason I have always been the person to want to take a nap.  When bored I would rather nap than find something to do.

Day 13:  I am thankful for Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks!  They clearly do not like me because I believe that I could loose 10 lbs if I just stopped drinking them.  But, oh the flavor, I dream about it.  I crave it, I beg for it.  It's one thing that I can't get enough of.  Yum Yum Yum


Day 14:  I'm Thankful for my Aunt Connie!  She has been my second mother for many years.  She has helped raise me and shape me to who I am today.  Thanks Aunt Connie for being there for our family!

Thankful for November

Week One: Nov. 1st through Nov. 7th

I have decided to do this in weekly increments do to time sake.  I know I would not remember to log in daily. :-) 

Day One:  Today I am thankful for my family.  Immediate, extended and beyond!!  Without them and the support they provide to me and my family each and everyday I am not sure where I (we) would be.  Verbal, nonverbal, all kinds of support fills our hearts and we could not be more blessed with this support that has strengthened us.
 

Day Two:  Thankful for the two men in my life.  They both entered my life so quickly I'm still not sure how the last four years of my life has happened.  First Curtis, the one that can handle me, MOST of the time.  He is patient with me, gets me, frustrates me, excites me, challenges me, and loves me.  He is someone I am proud to be in their life and Proud to say he is in mine.  Second came along Bentley.  Wasn't really ready for him but couldn't be happier with where he has taken me in my journey of life.  He also knows how to comfort me and challenge me in ways I never knew a 2 year old could do.  He lights up my heart everytime he smiles and the excitement he has for life is so refreshing.  Love you both so much!

Day Three: I'm Thankful for friends!  We may not get to spend a lot of time together, but the time we do spend is so cherished.  They get me when the world seems to not.  We can spend hours reminiscing like we never had time away from each other.  They do not judge me, even though I sometimes judge myself.  I can confide in them without fear that they would steer me in the wrong direction.  I would love to be able to spend more time with each and everyone of them, but they understand and get why sometimes that can't happen.
        
   

Day Four:  Thankful for the opportunity to be apart of Parents As Teachers!  They are a great group of ladies and I am proud to be one of them.  I enjoy working with families and bringing activities so the family can work together to strengthen their children's development.


Day Five:  Thankful for my job at Mercy because it allows me to provide for my family.  It may be stressful at times because of my schedule but it's allowed me to be flexible so I can spend my days during the week with my son.

Day Six:  Thankful for my health.  There have been several reminders to me how important my health is to me and I can not begin to tell you how lucky I have been.  I have not had many problems outside of struggling with pregnancy and I am SOO thankful!

Day Seven:  I'm thankful for TV.  I really am.  It allows me some time to just not think about the daily stresses and allows me to enter a world of fantasy.  During the couple of one hour shows I get time to watch I am able to just imagine how life could be, or be darn thankful for the life I do have.  Its my chill zone!
