Lemons & Lemonade

I'm completely uninspired. Seriously. If I blogged too much, you'd be as close to sleeping as I am. Which is pretty darn close, fyi. My baby woke up every hour to eat last night. Apparently stress decreases your milk supply. Who knew? Not me. (You were right, Susan. I am stressed!)

But with everything bad, comes something good. I've found that to be very true.
*We found out last month that we'd be homeless in less than a month. Yep. Perfect. Just what I wanted with a new baby! The good part? We don't have to worry about selling our house like many people in this economy do.
*We had a completely lousy realtor on our house finding trip. But completely wonderful friends to help us out.
*Zane and I both fell in love with the same house. Nothing bad about that.
*It costs more than we wanted, but we got more than we wanted. Including two different neighbors from our church! Who wudda thunk it?
*We will be living in a hotel for the weeks that we are in between houses. (shudder) But at least I won't have housework during that time. And continental breakfast is nice, too. I know, I'm reaching. It won't be great.
*I don't want to leave these wonderful friends we have here behind. It makes me sad to think about. However. Before you know it, we'll be in our gorgeous home in an area filled with people who already have welcomed us with open arms.

Life has a way of evening the score, doesn't it?

So happy you found your house, so happy you don't have to worry about selling yours, so happy you'll be 10 hours closer to home, so happy you won't have to clean for a few weeks. Hope you make some of your hotel stay in this part of the country before moving on to your new home state. XOXOXO

Good luck to you as you make your move! Looking forward to having you and your family here.

And hope you start getting a little more sleep!! That makes all the difference in the world!

What town will you be living in? Who will your lucky neighbor's be?? It will all work out. Hope the baby starts to sleep better.. I guess I better enjoy these last four weeks of sleep..even though I am uncomfortable and ready to be done!

You have so many things going on! Again....you are amazing. Glad to hear the house sold and that you found a new home. Can't wait to hear more details about the new home.

Hope you can cram in as much time as possible with your friends there before you leave!

Good luck with everything in the next couple of months. I'll be rooting for the day you are settled again and can unpack your boxes.
