Home Is Where The Heart Is

Well I've wanted to post an update for a while and it seems every time I go to write I have something else that needs to be done or that I’d have so much to say who’d want to read it all.

I don't have time to tell you every little detail but here's the major stuff.

Josh and I thought it would be a good idea if we started looking for a house. So we actually looked at 3 houses and found one we like.

The house is in Casnovia and it is for sale by owner. We spoke with the owner and he let us tour the house and he gave us all the details about the house. Since then he's been kind enough to let us look at it several times to get a better look.

The house is a two bedroom house - the girls would share a bedroom but the layout works out and they'd have enough space. There are one and 1/2 baths, a huge living room, a four season indoor porch, a two stall garage, and includes a shed and pole barn.

The selling price is lower than the assessed value so we spoke with a financial person and we were approved for the amount we'd like to offer.

We're so excited that we'd be approved to purchase this house. We're hoping now that the rest of the buying process will go well so that we can finally be homeowners.

Abigail (Abby most of the time) is already going to be 2 on April 17th. She's grown so fast and seems so much older than 2. We'll be having two birthday parties for her one for my side on the 19th and one for Josh's side on the 20th. One thing I love is when I give Abby kisses I pretend that I’m stuck to her cheek – she loves it and now sometimes she’ll say Momma... “Stuck” in her own way – there’s not a day that where she doesn’t make me smile. My wonderful husband will also be 27 on the 20th!!

Jasmine (Jas or Jassy most of the time -hehe) will be 5 months on the 14th - and even though she's my little girl and has always seemed so tiny - she's getting so big. I keep putting on three months cloths thinking oh she's tiny - and then they're too short or just a little snug. I keeping thinking oh - 3-6 months cloths and forget she’s only one month away from being 6 months. I’m thinking she’s going to be a lot like Momma – and Abby’s a lot like her Daddy.

Some day’s lately I’ve been stressed out or “depressed” and then I realize I get to a point where I look back and think – ok everything is working out and everything is happening for a reason. God takes care of everything if you let him. I’m so excited to hopefully have a house and have a place where I can be with Josh and my precious girls and be HOME. We’ve looked at home in the past and none have worked out as well as this has been working out – so I just feel like this is where God wants us.

Josh and the girls are my everything and I just can’t describe the love I have for them. I need to remind myself often how blessed I am... especially when I think things aren’t going perfectly.
