Long time, no blog...

Yes, the last blog I wrote was October 20th of last year. While rocking baby A to sleep this afternoon (because for some odd reason she chose to fight a nap) I thought I'd write a blog about our house.

Home.Sweet.Home. I have mixed feelings about this place. What I love about it: it is the first home Rhett & I purchased together and my maiden name is still on the bill; we have designed are slowly designing it as our own; it has been the roof over our heads for the past 6 years (date of signing was Feb.14); it has housed not only us but 2 of the.most.beautiful.kids I have ever come to know in my life...those of who we never imagined filling the other bedrooms in this house; it's easy to keep clean (on most days); the yard takes literally 45 minutes to cut, edge & sweep; keeps us warm in the winter and cool in the summer (for the most part); love my new floors. What I dislike about it: not enough space (for the 4 of us); bedrooms are on the small size; no private toilet area in the master bathroom; not completely tiled floors in the bathroom; master bedroom is small; the den & baby A's room stay cool in the winter & warm in the summer (insert frown face); not enough sunlight in the den (and too much in the kids rooms in the morning, as they wake at 7 am b/c of it); our backyard is not big enough for those 2 sweet kiddos (1 of whom needs a lot of running room these days!!)...

There, I got some of those things off my chest. I.We.are.beyond.ready.to.move. It's been a constant prayer of ours to move out and on with our lives. To have more room. Somewhere to create new, fun and exciting memories all at the same time. But God remains firm in his answer. Why? I just wonder sometimes, well all the time here lately. I must confess. We have saved and saved and saved and lowered and lowered and lowered the selling price. What gives? God knows and he's the only one. But you know, I trust and love him and have complete faith in him so maybe he has a special house waiting on us and it's just not ready yet. We've done all that we can do but you know one thing? We aren't giving up. We are going to keep on pursuing it until He is ready for us to move on.

Thanks for listening to my rant. Ready for happy blogs to come :)  Thank you for the prayers!
