It's crazy. Just when you think you have everything figured out. Planned just the way it should be, God changes things. Not that it's a big deal, but on Monday my key got stuck in the van. It wouldn't turn. There was much juggling going around the next day or so. We went to my parents to pick up their car to borrow. It all worked out. We got it fixed for less than $100 and can pick it up tomorrow. But, it was annoying. It's always something going on.
Also, on Tuesday Kylie was jumping on the trampoline at a friend's house & hurt her ankle. We took her in this morning and it's not broken. That's good! She's slowly starting to walk on it and feel better. She was pretty bummed the first 24 hours or so. We spoiled her pretty good with a Strawberry Shortcake DVD. I'm sure tomorrow will help keep her mind off of it with her cousins to play with.
I was just thinking after our appointment about how great I was starting to feel. I can breathe again. I just feel like we get that little glimpse of 'easy' and then something else is thrown in to mess it up. I know it's all God's plan and timing. I need to go back and read some of my posts! He knows what He's doing!
It's the busiest season of the year for me at work with tons of productions. Bryan's busy at Starbucks, because don't we all get more Starbucks at Christmas time? Kylie's busy with a Christmas dance recital and a school production. I threw in a couple weddings to the busy season. One in November & two in December! Then, I am super excited to be doing a wedding show in January at Shopko Hall. I'm trying to get ready for that.
Anyway - we also put an offer in on a house. We just saw this house in our neighborhood pop up online in our price range (which is not common in our neighborhood). It is a short sale and needs new carpet/paint. Otherwise it looks great. The offer was accepted by the seller, but now the bank has 90 days to accept. After that, we'll have an inspection & close hopefully in February/March. That sounds so far away! The timing works to our advantage since our lease is up in February. But it is a lot of waiting and not knowing what to expect. I guess we're good at that? I know we're crazy. We haven't done anything the 'traditional' way (didn't graduate college, were engaged for 4 months, left a house in Stevens Point to move to Green Bay without jobs, now trying to buy a house). I wouldn't change a thing. I know it's all risky, but it forces us to put our trust in God. He will provide and guide our steps. If this house works, that's awesome! If it doesn't, oh well. Our only hiccup is that we haven't been saving for a house because we weren't planning on buying one until we sell our house in Point. That's not happening soon, so we thought we'd go for it here. We just need to come up with the down payment. Pinching pennies and selling things we don't use. Then the van broke. But again, it will all work out!
I'm rambling now. Be thankful this year. I know everyone is doing the 'I'm thankful for..." Facebook posts and stuff. I think it's cool to list everything off. There is so much. It's fun to share with other people what you're thankful for, but really it's all thanks to God. He is our provider. I am thankful that I can trust in God for all of the big & little things.
With all of that being said, thanks be to God! Have a great Thanksgiving with the people you are so thankful for!
