Worth waiting for...

So...we are having a heck of a time getting anyone to rent to us month to month (not that I can blame them) while we wait on either one of these:




These are the two houses we have offers on, they are both Short Sales, we were not looking for a short sale or forclosure to buy, these just happened to be our favorites after looking for three straight days...they are both DEFINITELY worth waiting for, I just never thought it would be so tough to find something temporary. We have six days before the moving truck heads off towards what is currently, a very general location. Another option to rent fell through last night and that is honestly, the first feeling of panic I've had yet, which was followed by a simple, but profound feeling of reassurance that everything will work out. I am still amazed at how blessed we are to have sold our house here, and cannot complain, even a little, if there are a few bumps in the road along the way. I mean, maybe neither one of these houses will even go through, if that is the case, I'm sure there is a reason! I have felt an overwhelming peace since March and cannot deny a way will be provided. When I look back on the last nine years...I am so grateful for the way things have worked out. I have learned WELL that we may not always get what we want, but then again, we do not always know what is BEST...I will trust in that and I can WAIT for that!

"SEW" much FUN!




Okay, so I kinda feel like I am tooting my own horn, but I am way excited about this! So I made this for Heidi's Birthday and I REALLY enjoyed making it. Anyone who knows me well, knows I am not real crafty, I enjoy a project here and there, but I do not feel a NEED to make things... well that could all change, because this was so fulfilling and I was so pleased with the whole process, if I wasn't in major moving mode (MMM) I would totally be making another one right away. Allyn helped me by picking out the fabric (a big thanks) I was totally dragging my feet on getting started, but now I actually want to do another something crafty and SOON!
