One Year Ago, Today

One year ago today, my family arrived in Chadds Ford, PA. After hours and hours and hours and hours in the car we pulled into our new apt. furnished by Adam's company. It was smaller than I hoped, and not beautiful by any stretch of the imagination. I remember my thoughts as I walked in. . ."I cannot live here. . .there is NO COLOR, everything is brown."

7 months later, I was sad to leave. We made so many friends, found a church and became familiar with the parks, shopping, festivals. I am so happy I had the experience. I do love PA and would visit if I could.

Here are some pics from our days up north.

My friend Cilla

I just gotta give a shout out to my friend, Cilla. She and her husband came over for the 4th and we had lots of laughs. She then came over while both of our husbands were either working or at the race on Saturday night. We had fun eating out, shopping at Target and LAUGING at least twice! I tell you what, she introduced me to a product that has changed my life. THANK YOU, if you are interested, email me and I will tell you what it is. . .just can't allow myself to post it on this blog. :) Thanks for all the laughs. Let's do it again real soon, girl!! I hope she doesn't hate me for posting this pic. I couldn't resit!

Working at the Car Wash

Bryson's recent obsession is car washes "tar washes." Here are some pics of him washing Mommy's "tar" with daddy.

Is there anything better?

Sunday afternoon. Thunderstorms a'brewin. 2 year old sleeping. Me. . .out. cold. for 3 hours, on the couch without a care in the world.

This repeats every week. . .same time, same couch, (always in church clothes. . .NICE!)

so much going on . . .

Here is a short recap since last post. . .I won't bore you with the details.

We put our house on the market. (nerve wracking and exciting)
We get an offer 3 weeks later. (totally excited, giving all glory to God)
We have our house inspected, with the buyers present. All while our neighbors were being evicted from their rental house. . .2 cops cars, a tow truck and lots of yelling. . .thought it might just scare the buyers away. . .it didn't, they thought it was a good show. . .(WHEW!)
We searched for a new home. Decided to build a new house. . .the house of our dreams. (tentative, but fun and ready to go)
The offer fell through. . .my buyers couldn't get financing since they had NO CREDIT. (sad for half an hour. . .over it now. . .moving on)
We may loose the new house we were building, but I just know God has a plan for us. (hopeful)
House back on the market. (back to the grind of keeping a spotless house with a 2 year old. (just lovely)
Know anyone looking for a 3/2 in Mandarin, let me know!

So there you have it . . . for all my loyal readers. . . um, I think that includes Cilla and Emily! All two of my fans :)
