Our House....


So as many people know, I am pregnant. It was a big surprise, but a happy one. We actually find out tomorrow what we are having. With an unexpected pregnancy, me not having any work since early January and Chris being in the lumber business we have been experiencing some tough times. Adding a new baby also means paying for extra health insurance and a bigger vehicle. Since all of these things have been going on we decided it was in our best interest to put our house on the market--our good "pal "Dave Ramsey helped us make this decision too ;) Of course with pregnancy comes crazy hormones, so on the very day that our house officially went on the market I had a slight fit of hysteria at 11:00 at night wondering if we were making a mistake. I had felt at peace with our decision and it seemed completely logical but my feelings started making me wonder if we were making a mistake. So after some prayer and conversation we decided we will still keep our house on the market and sit back and see what God has in store for us. We only have 3 months or so to sell the house because once we reach that point my stomach will be huge and I won't be moving around very well...meaning that keeping the house "show" ready will be hard. Anyway, we don't know what lies ahead, but it will be interesting to see what happens. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

You're in my prayer's. I totally understand how you feel about selling the house...I was at peace with our decision to move...and then once you put your thoughts into action it takes on a completely different life. :o) Good luck and I hope that your house sells fast!!! I can't wait to hear what you're having. :o)
