The Lords Work


The Lords hands have been at work in my life lately. For those who don’t know update on the house. It did NOT sell. God has been closing the doors since day 1 but we did not listen. We first put the house for sale because Brian was going to go to the Air Force. We were told off the bat that the market was horrible and we would have to come to the table with 20 thousand dollars. Who has that kind of money laying around? Not us for sure, so we applied for a short sale. Months later after many phone calls, emails, faxes…we got approved around December. You would think our anguish would stop there but no, they were so hard to get a hold off so people kept pulling out their contracts. Not only that during this whole wait the Air Force passed new rules and Brian could not leave no longer. And Finally last week. A week before our deadline o sell we get told the only way to sell the house is if we have military leave papers. Well we don’t have to go to Military anymore so we have no such papers…so now we are off the marker.

If this had happened any earlier in the process I would be a mess. But luckily I have come to a place in my relationship with God were I accepted any outcome he threw my way. I cried for about 30 minutes, but then I was okay. He wants us to stay in Houston for a reason, while I may not know what that reason is yet. It’s coming. I can’t wait till it gets here either.

In the mean time he made me cross paths with a young lady that needs my help. I deeply feel God placed me in her path for a reason so I am going to pull for her with all my strength to hear that I somehow can help her. So please pray for me in a BIG way. That I can help this young lady.

Well that’s all folks…see y'all next time

Sigh ...of relief!!!

Ok so the decision has been made for us. We are staying in Houston and there really is no way around it . The bank denied all 3 of the offers and on top of that was making ridiculous excuses every time we called in on why we couldn't go forth with it. So as of yesterday our house was removed off the market and we get to stay!! God has been shutting all the doors since day one , we just didn't like that answer or wanted to hear it. However for some reason I feel at peace. At least I know where I am going to live tomorrow and the next day . I also know that I have a secure job and awesome people to rely on here at work and at home. I will get to watch Micheal grow up next door!! I am just so excited about future opportunities.....A BIG change might be coming our way too. I don't want to jinx it so Ill leave it at that . Yay!!!

The last song


So last night I went to the movies with a coworker/friend named Leilani. We call her Lulu because some people cant say her name and just make something up. Well we are both Mommy's and hardly ever get any girl time, so we picked the girliest movie out and watched it. It started off real slow and Miley's acting was horrible! I kept wanting her to plop on her Hannah Montana wig and start dancing , but she didn't. Well towards the last 30 minutes it was a sob fest. Her and I were crying so hard ,she had wet spots on her shirt when we left ha ha. It was nice to hang out with somebody other than my kids after working hours. Well bottom line is I would recommend the movie , but maybe only as a rental . Or on second thought having a big tub of popcorn covered in butter will make the first half go by faster, so its up to you.

Tonight we head to Dallas for Brody's First birthday party...2 months late ha ha . Ill keep y'all posted on how it goes.

PS ..nothing on the house....STILL

Growing up



So yesterday we showed Hayden how to dip his french fries in Ketchup and he totally loved it. Daddy was in charge of demonstrating , since i am afraid of condiments. He got the hang of it really quick and before i knew it he had gobbled his way through most of his food. I decided to give him a funnel cake stick to have for dessert....Note to self...take the ketchup of the plate before moving on to dessert. He also dipped that in ketchup ...EWWWWW. He liked it so i let him eat it haha. I gave him the dip for the funnel cake and he started dipping his fries in it ...haha . Brian told me to leave him alone , tat he didnt know better. Those two have become best friends.

Second sign that my baby is becoming a big boy. Today he walked himself to the nannys door. I usually take Brody out and carry him halfway where the nanny meets me and I go back for Hayden . But today I got him off first and he ran to the door. I rushed to get Brody out and met him at the door. He felt so accomplished , you could totally tell.

I was so proud of him ! I hope he keeps up this big boy attitude, but at the same time it is so sad. Now if we can just get him out of the crib......

Birthday


Brody's birthday party is FINALLLLLLLLLY here! It will be this Saturday at Chuck-E-Cheese. I'm kinda excited about that since its a guaranteed 2 hour party and you leave the mess behind! I love it! The forecast for rain has no effect on mood whatsoever too. Im thinking of finding indoor things to do every year! When I have the party at my house people tend to be hours late, they stay late and the mess is there till the next day. Not only that in my family it is tradition to bring anyone and everyone to any party you are invited to . Hopefully no extras come this time. Ill let you all know how it turns out!
