A Wierd Happy

 AS OF fRIDAY, fEB 25TH.....

We the People  ...(the hawkers)

are no LONGER HOME OWNERS!

yep!!!

WE ARE ELATED to report....

we sold our home!!!

(goodbye friend..you served us well.)

after a very,very,very, long and grueling

2 years....  IT'S GONE!!!

We are experiencing minor feelings

of sadness at the loss of our beloved home and nieghborhood...but mostly we are:

relieved, at peace, thrilled, and excited

at the possibilities that await us!

We even looked through a few model homes
last night durning our date...

(just dreaming)

I have been pushing myself for the 

past couple of trying years...not to ask the

questions like..  "why me?"   but to

replace those dooming thoughts with

more hopeful ones.... like

"WHAT'S NEXT?"

i can't lie down and die with so much left to be done.....

HOPE  is all i had some days....

With so much weighing us down...

job changes and financial stress and

losing a home.....

it would have been easy to retreat into

the rut and dwell there...

But the stuff worth anything good in this life...

IS NEVER EASY!

I am NOT perfect....

at all....

not even a little bit close to it....

sometimes the only thing that got me out of bed in the morning was...

the excitement to buy a new decorating magazine...
a great movie i wanted to see

or to just surprise a friend with a cupcake...

totally worldly ,  i know...

but hey...i did what i could and prayed for

the strength for the rest!

nope...i'm not a perfect friend, or mom, or

wife or daughter....

but boy do i wanna be some day!

i want to be comfortable in the presence of

my Savior and my Heavenly Father...

the only 2 perfect beings i know.

so i will give it my all while i am here

and have the chance....

Sooo

We do our best and hang on to hope for the rest!
