One Day at a Time...

Oh my goodness. It has been a LONG time since I blogged! What have we been up to, you ask? Well....we sold our house!! Woo hoo! We actually sold it to some really good friends, so it worked out awesome for everyone. We closed last week so we are now officially homeless. (Well, not homeless I guess, but no longer home owners....) So, we have been house hunting non-stop. To give an accurate description, I'd have to tell you that we have looked at forty-six houses in 2 weeks. Yes--I said FORTY-SIX. We are just plain exhausted. We finally found one this weekend that we LOVE.....but.....we can't close on it until January. We have a big decision to make.....wait until January or keep house hunting??? I think we have really crappy timing on this with the new home buyers credit ending at the end of this month. Several months ago, there were tons of houses on the market in the areas that we are looking. Now, there just aren't that many and so we're having to look at things that aren't exactly what we were picturing. I guess all the first time home buyers snatched everything up?? Why is it that you never find what you're looking for when you're shopping with money to spend?? (I find this is true with clothes shopping too. When I have no money, I find tons of stuff. When I have money and am shopping for something specific, I can't find anything!!) It is super frustrating!!

In other news, Shane has been working 2 weeks at his new job and really likes it. We are so happy and relieved about this! It is always scary when you start a new job and have to start totally over. But, his boss seems really great and he has a really nice office. It seems like he has been able to jump right in which is wonderful! He even found out that his license will transfer so he doesn't have to take the Texas test which was rumored to be a booger.

We've settled in here at my parents house and are doing quite well considering we moved us, Booker, Lucy, Sebastian and quite a bit of stuff in! We moved the queen sized bed that is usually in the room that Logan is sleeping in to storage, and put his little toddler bed in there. This gave him plenty of room for his toys and made the room feel a little more like his. Lucy is really enjoying swimming in my parents pool and has requested that our new house have one. (Not going to happen!!) I've been sewing a lot this week and just finished a custom order for my sister-in-law to take to a baby shower today. I'm working on getting more things listed in the shop and trying to get my business back up and running in our new location.

So, in short, we're doing good and hanging in there. I'm missing my girl friends and Logan's friends in AR though. We have some wonderful friends there! We had such a great routine down and I feel very out of sorts. I'm loving being near the family, but right now we're just spending so much time looking for a house and doing practical things (like eating and sleeping!) that we haven't had much time for finding activities for Logan or settling in to any sort of normal weekly routine. But, we have been going to the park, playing outside and walking the dogs a lot though. My goal is to try out the library storytime this week and try to keep a more 'normal' schedule. Here's hoping!!
