Almost ready

Well it looks like we will be closing on our house in less than 48 hours, kinda hard to believe. I went today and after several locations finally found the place we will be calling home for the next couple of months at least. It's still sort of surreal that we a about to embark on a new journey. The house we currently live in is the house that Jeremy and I bought just prior to us getting married 5 years ago, the house we've brought both of our girls home to, and the only place other than our parents' house that we've called home. In some ways I'm excited to see where God is going to direct us but at the same time sad that we are saying goodbye. It seems like my verse for this year is Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Thank you Lord for the hope and future you've given us. May we never forget to YOU be the glory!!

Happy Thanksgiving

God has a sense of humor

I don't care what anyone says, God sure can be funny. As an example how funny is this:

So we've had our house on the market now for 93 days. We had decided that if we didn't hear anything this weekend it was coming off on Monday and then we would put it back on in the Spring. I was at lunch yesterday with some friends when our Realtor called to tell me someone wanted to look at our house. At that time it was in NO way ready to be shown so I postponed it for a couple of hours in order to go home and clean. The people showed up right on time, stayed for 30 minutes, and MADE AN OFFER!!! It was what we were wanting so we accepted but here's the kicker....we have NO IDEA at this time where we are going to live. :) Through all of this we have said God is preparing a place for us so now He just has to show us where it is.

Ok it gets better. Our Realtor called me back today to let me know that not only do they want the house but that they want to close by the 30th so that they can get a better rate. That's right we now have 3 weeks to pack up all our stuff (we really don't have a lot to pack so I can do that in about 2 days) and find somewhere to live. See what I mean about a sense of humor?

Oh and did I also mention that we are also expecting our 3rd baby???????

Bad day

Well I guess I can't say that the whole day was bad more like the evening. as a matter of fact the first half was pretty good since the girls and I got to spend some time with my mom, sisters, grandmother, and nephew. It was on the way home that things changed. Both girls were exhausted from our busy day and feel asleep shortly after leaving my mom's house. I was really hoping that they would both stay asleep until we got home but Gracie woke up screaming. Come to find out she wet her pants and was of course afraid she's get her butt sucked in the vacuum cleaner. So we get home, get her clothes taken care of, put both girls in the bath, and get the car seat out of the car to clean (Jeremy was cooking dinner). After the bath we sat down for dinner where Carleigh was fussy the entire time. Once we were all finished we let the girls get down to play so that Jeremy could shower and I could straighten up. If not 10 minutes later Gracie went pee in her pants AGAIN! I'm not sure what's going because the last couple of days she's been having accidents. It wouldn't have been that bad if not within 30 minutes later she pooped in her pants, on the floor, and all over the toilet. SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!?? I could have spit nails. Well things have
calmed down now, they're in bed, and hopefully there won't be anymore drama tonight.

The other thing that has put me in a down mood is that I think we have found someone to take the dogs. it's one of those love/hate things. I love the fact that we found someone and it's someone I know but hate the fact we are actually letting them go. Brock turned 5 last month (he was the 1st Christmas present I bought Jeremy when we got married) and Gabbie will be 4 this month. They were our first kids and even though it's best, it break my heart thinking of them not being here anymore. for those of you non-dog lovers I know you don't understand but for those of you who are, please pray for me because this IS VERY DIFFICULT!!!

October 31, 2007

So I caved. I'll be honest and tell you that for personal reasons I never wanted my girls to celebrate this day but it was important to Jeremy. Up until the day before we weren't really doing anything, but Jeremy told me he really wanted to dress the girls up and take them out. After a couple of calls to friends and eventually a good compromise, I caved in and said yes. So what do your kids get to be when you only have less than 24 hours to come up with a costume? A hippie and ballerina/dancer of course!!



We took them up to Gracie's school for their Trunk-or-Treat, which we won't do again, then to the one at Joelton FBC where friends of ours go, and then over to Ninnie and Pop's house for more treats. In all the girls received 10 POUNDS of candy, which mommy and daddy are enjoying quite nicely!!!! :)

Here's a couple more pictures from the night...

Laugh for the day

So did anyone else watch the Colts/Patriots game last night? Did you see the commercial with Peyton? A little too broad? Ok let me break it down for you.....

It's a cameo of Peyton asking "Do you want bigger arms and 6-pack abs?" (to which Jeremy says out loud YES) Peyton: "Well unless you're under the age of 23 or a professional NFL player, GET A BIGGER SHIRT!!!"

I burst out laughing and unfortunately can't find the clip so you'll just have to trust me. Jeremy thought it was pretty funny too!!

Tough decision

After several months of talking about it Jeremy and I have decided that we are going to get rid of our dogs Brock and Gabbie. You can't believe how incredibly hard this is for us but we feel like it is the best thing for them. we don't have that big of a yard and with the girls getting bigger we haven't been able to spend the time with them like we would like to. So if you know of anyone who might be interested please let me know. They are both AKC boxers and really are GREAT dogs...especially with kids. Here's a picture of them....
