Welcome back all! PHEW, what an interesting past 6 weeks this has been, but we made it to Texas! I am happy to have this blog once more and I can't wait to see what the next 365 days of our lives here in the Dallas area brings. I am going to try once more to post my happy moments for the day. Honestly I wish I could have started this blog a few weeks back because, like the first 365 days, our lives have been filled with turmoil and trials beyond comprehension! If we had a nickel for every time we have heard the phrase, "I have NEVER heard of people going through something like this!" we might have enough for a down payment on a home! Onto the home situation, just one of many crazy happenings, 60 days ago we bought a home, or signed paperwork to. At every corner the sellers have threatened to put it back on the market. They didn't like it when the inspector came in, they were livid over the appraisal, and Friday when escrow was supposed to close, our lending didn't come through, for a RIDICULOUS reason, and they got angry about that. So we signed an extension and escrow is supposed to close tomorrow. Well, then their Realtor told us that they said NO and that they are going to just put the house back on the market. They somehow managed to take the lock box off of the home and have also removed the For Sale sign. So tomorrow the future of our lives literally hang in the balance of a very UN-balanced human being. We have prayed long and hard and feel peaceful about whichever way this thing goes tomorrow. That isn't to say we are happy or stress free about it, but we will like everything will work out somehow. So, would you like day one of happy memories? Well wait no longer!
We drove from Amarillo to David's apartment today and enjoyed lots and lots and lots of car time together! Thankfully we had more time to spend stopping and taking breaks so that helped the antsy kiddos and dog a lot. We started out our morning with breakfast at Cracker Barrel for Father's Day and it did not disappoint! Then we were off! We stopped at a really fun rest stop with a park, doggy area, and indoor area for kids. It was fun to have a decent break in our day and the kids looked a lot for Rattlesnakes (thank you huge WATCH for Rattlesnake sign at the playground lol). Alas we did not find any snakes, but we did spot a really pretty!
We stopped another time at this town called Memphis, which was kind of like a 50's style ghost town. Not sure if everyone was just gone for Father's Day or what, but we ate lunch in the town square and not a SOUL was around! For those of you that watch The Walking Dead, I truly expected a walker or two to pop out at any moment!
A really happy moment was arriving at the apartment and getting to see the cats once more! I missed them so much! They both cuddled and snuggled with me and we all enjoyed checking out our rooms and looking through the apartment. It is off to dinner for us and then BED for two VERY cranky boys. Saying lots of prayers that no matter what happens tomorrow, we can feel at peace and that A HOME will be provided for us. It will all work out and I will keep you posted! Blessings to all y'all!
