She's not much but she's still mine.

I suppose it's not that dramatic but it is pretty disappointing. While we were at Bible Conference our lovely realtor/friend called to say we'd had an offer on our house. We counter-offered and spent the next few days going over paperwork and details but by the end of the week, we had nailed everything down. Now all that was left to be done was the home inspection and the financing for them.

Since then we've been looking online at houses, writing down MLS numbers, dreaming, imagining what a new house would mean. I spent my nights drifting off to sleep by saying goodbye in my mind to my old house. I'd go through each room and remember what happened in them. I've never had a home that has been as good to me as this one.

Two days ago I got a call from Sunshine. "It looks like they're pulling out," she says. What? Why? They blamed it on the home inspection but there wasn't anything in the home inspection that was major.

I feel like someone has taken a huge crap in the middle of the bathroom floor instead of in the toilet where it's supposed to go. I'm upset that they snubbed my lovely little home. I'm pissed that they didn't see her potential. I'm floored that they could just walk away from her. It's hard not to take it personally.

On top of all that - it's all brand spanking new. If only people could see what that house looked like when we moved in and what we lived through to make it what it is today. I know that the first person to look would be astonished. Astonished I tell you!

Se la vie.

Hey, you wanna buy a house?

Crazy Month

So, I had eye surgery and as it turns out, the healing time really does take six to eight weeks. There isn't any pain left just very fuzzy vision which is quite annoying most days.

Other than that we've had a very busy month. We went to Charlotte to visit Nonnie and Poppa. My dad still swears that Justice said Poppa even though he wasn't around to hear it. We went to TMI where Justice crawled into a cupboard and drove a bus.
See?




Then we came home and Marty and I headed to TYI where we had a pretty exciting week that occured on little to no sleep whatsoever. I think the highlight of my week was getting to spend time with Russ, Charlotte and their kids. Russ and Charlotte tried to convince Joe (their oldest) that Marty's parents are giants who live in the mountains of North Carolina. It didn't work but was still funny. We had some incredible conversations with friends which are always the best part of any event. Other than that, the ropes course was exhilirating.

This weekend Marty is headed to Tampa for Thomas and Jessica's wedding and then next week we're in Waynesville, NC for Bible Conference. Yippee!

Perhaps by the time I get home I'll be able to see clearly enough to see all of the words I misspelled in this post.
