Updates

Sorry I haven't been writing as of late I have had my hands full. I really had a good birthday week. It was very healing and contemplative. Steven (stepson) came and took most of the nursery furniture. I sat in the chair or laying on the floor for hours every night just thinking of what was to have been. It is so odd to look in that room and not see everything in order. Like I said, there was just allot of healing time.

So, as far as the house goes. Last weekend after allot of thought and need to move forward we decided to take the house off of the market. So last week I started to redo the nursery and make it my craft room. My very own girly French Country room. So I went on a hunt to all the local antique stores and thrift store and found a great table that I refinished, I got an chair and a side table and I had this sweet cart that needed to be beaten up and painted as well so I was working on that. Have been ordering stuff like crazy.... .... So, here I am steadily working when all of a sudden we get a call Saturday morning from a realtor saying that his client ( the original couple that came to see the house the first week it was on the market) noticed that we had removed our home from the listing and had a slight interest and wanted to know where we were at. We called him back and said only if his clients were interested in making an offer would we even consider moving forward. They came tonight and looked again. We have told them we would like and offer by Friday otherwise it is a closed door. So we shall see... Honestly we are good either way.

We had something else happen. Our sons girlfriend just told us that her cousin was pregnant and wanted to give the baby up for adoption. That she had told her about us. She didn't have anymore information but would get back to us. Tim and I said great let her know we are interested. I found out today that she aborted the baby. As you can guess I am heartbroken. I wish nothing had been said to begin with.... It seems like once I get off of one roller coaster another one soon arrives. I am glad this last one was a very short one. Oh the twists and turns lately are just a little too crazy for me...

You are on some kind of roller coaster! I'm sure once you find out about the house, you will feel better.

Wow, about the girl and the baby. That must have been very difficult to deal with.

Your craft room sounds very cool. Having your own space, decorated the way you want must feel very nice. :)

So sorry about your house offer and especially about the girl's abortion. You have had too many hard things to deal with lately--You are in my prayers.
your craft room sound very cool--wishing you many happy times in there.
