Well as many of you have probably heard, we have had a taste of the American dream and and felt a piece of the American reality. We had an offer on a perfect house accepted. Well as many of you know, money talks and someone else put in a higher offer and they accepted theirs after they accepted ours. RULES.... Apparently there are none in the game of buying a house. We have decided to put the brakes on this house thing for a while.
In the meantime we are trying to make our little apartment feel more homey. I got so excited about getting a home I started to neglect keeping up on house work and fixing things that needed fixed. Today we cleaned the carpets, loaded the kitchen with food and replaced our down comforter on our bed that had multiple holes in it. Which meant feathers were everywhere!!!!
We were almost done with all our chores for the day, all we needed was one last trip to the grocery store. On our way we took all the trash out, even the old laminator that had been sitting on the front porch for a month. We got in the Mustang and went to start her up.... Click click click... What??? Dead battery. We jumped it and took her to Auto zone. A few precious dollars and a new battery later we were finally off to the grocery store.
I am finally starting to recover from being sick. Many of you know that I don't get sick very often and when I do, I don't let it stop me from doing much. I had to take almost 3 days off work to recover from this one. I am positive I got sick from the germy kindergartners I teach on a daily basis. I am not really looking forward to going back to work. I am sure it will be a disaster in my classroom after 3 days of substitutes.
Well sorry to vent today, there really isn't anything exciting to write about. We are just crossing our fingers for something positive to happen anytime soon!!!

Angie!
I am soo sorry to hear about your house falling through. There should be rules! They already said yes! Oh well... maybe it will be a blessing when you find an even better house sometime. I'm glad you are feeling better. A clean home with a little re arranging always makes me feel a little better about living in an apartment. Good luck! We love ya!
That's such a bummer. I think you're taking the right approach by putting together the home you have a making it feel "homey." I know that the Lord blesses us when we are doing what's right and he sometimes surprises us with a different time line than we'd like. Hopefully the delay won't feel too long.
There are always hard times but I'm sure one day you'll see that it was actually a blessing! Glad you're feeling better, there's lots of nasty stuff going around. We need to get together again sometime soon!
That is so bad about the offer. I am sorry. Back in February we almost bought a condo, but decided not to when we looked into the HOA. We also decided to put the brakes on buying a house for a while. I can't wait until we buy a house.
