Well.
So, we are not moving; we’re still looking; only God knows when/if we’ll get something larger. Meanwhile, things are going along as normal. We’re planning a big camping trip, which should be fun. Not much to say this morning. Maybe later.
More musings.
We spent all day long driving around town (5 hours), looking for houses for sale. We have asked, but not yet received… sought, but not yet found… knocked, but the door has not yet been opened unto us. Sigh.
Interesting development…
The little house I mentioned last night was a For Sale By Owner. This morning she called and said she changed her mind about selling. I cannot describe the relief I felt at that statement! Sometimes, I like things being taken out of my hands, as it were… so we are still looking. Robby remembered this morning about someone who […]
Musings…
I can’t help but wonder why? Why did God allow us to look at – and fall in love with – a dwellingplace that appeared to be perfect for us… one that had things arranged in a way that we liked and would enjoy… and then YANK it out from under us? Was it to teach us to be content […]
We’re not getting the doublewide.
Nobody will do an appraisal, so we can’t get a 100% loan, and we can’t afford a downpayment. Such is life.
The other night,
when Nate thought I was sleeping, he laid down next to me and said,“Dear God, Please help my toe feel better, and…” some other things I can’t remember now, and “help us get that new house. In Jesus Name, Amen.”It was so sweet! I had a dentist appointment yesterday morning. I was hoping for a filling but ended up with […]
Today’s our anniversary!
13 years ago today, Robert & I were joined in Holy Matrimony. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, and yet it seems like it’s been forever.
What a day I had today :)
My friends’ son had his seventh birthday today. It was great fun! We went to their mom’s house for hamburgers, hot dogs, cake & ice cream, and the kids broke a piñata, and he opened presents, and it was so much fun 🙂 Also there was my friend’s sister, who is foster parent to a sweet little baby girl, who […]
Things are currently stalled.
We’re waiting, waiting, waiting. Need the appraisal – waiting. Need the seller to agree to terms – waiting. Need the loan – waiting. Need the downpayment – waiting. Ugh.
We made an offer.
We THEORETICALLY will know this evening (around 6pm) whether the offer is acceptable to the seller or not.
Weird dream…
I dreamed we were moving into an apartment in a big building and the door opened on a long hill that led down to the parking lot. We had a van parked about halfway up the hill on a more-or-less flat area (although at one point it seemed like the ground for miles around the van was flat – one […]
Our loan arranger
was out of the office all day today. Maybe we’ll hear something tomorrow.
Think you know me?
Take the How Well Do You Know Dawn? quiz… you have to put in a name and email address to see your results, but it doesn’t HAVE to be a valid one. I would appreciate some indication of who you are, though, if you don’t mind 🙂
We applied for a loan.
The loan arranger (I just love that term hehehehe) seems to think we will get it with no problem. We are waiting to see what sort of loan he can find for us. We need as little downpayment as possible. We won’t know anything until Monday because today is the last business day of the month.
Ugh, dream!
I dreamed I was on a trip, the whole family. We stopped at a gas station and Robby went inside, and while he was inside, I saw a man – named “Rick” – who was some kind of criminal or something and whom I apparently had been instrumental in putting behind bars at some point or something. Anyway, I turned […]
Possible move…?
This doublewide is what we’re looking at… it’s very nice, and has a huge fenced back yard. We are looking into financing options. Prayers in this matter would be appreciated!
My poor garden!
It’s all overgrown with weeds. But still producing a little bit. The carrots are still growing and the cantaloupe (we got one today) and one lone watermelon. I haven’t checked the green onions and garlic chives lately. Got a bunch of laundry done today. Whew.
Today was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
But on the bright side, I got the kids’ room clean.
