Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!
I've been taking the facebook challenge of posting daily something that I'm thankful for...so I've been celebrating Thanksgiving for a while now. I don't want to stop once Thanksgiving is over...

I love this time of year...more than any other. I love the crisp weather...colorful leaves....the coziness of curling up with a blanket, candles, and a sweet romantic movie!! I love that it gets dark early...meaning that all my children come in earlier from playing outside. Of course in a couple of months...I'll change my tune and decide that spring is my favorite time of year...I'm fickle!! :)

I'm looking forward to seeing my sister-in-law and her kiddos. They are on their way home from Indiana. They won't be here for Christmas...so we have to do this holiday up good!! Maybe a movie tonight...yummy meal tomorrow...perhaps a little shopping and of course we have to celebrate Christmas on Saturday with them.

Holidays are wonderful....having family to celebrate with is PERFECT!!

Kinda Bummed

Well, today was our Open House. I spent most of my Friday night tightening up the loose ends of getting the house spic/span. Since Kevin got hit with the Hiny flu this past weekend, and had to miss work...it was his turn to work today. So, I really didn't have a whole lot of help from him. Which was a little frustrating...but couldn't be helped. Anyway, when Kevin woke up this morning at 5:30...I did too. He went to work and I began all of the last minute chores.

I was very optimistic all day long, til I heard from our realtor at 3:00. She called and said there were no lookers. Then she called a few minutes later and said that as she was leaving...someone came to look, so she stayed and let them look. So, I'm a little bummed. I know God has the perfect buyer for our house and I know everything works out according to His timing. So, we sit and we wait.

I wonder if I've ever mentioned that I'm not a very good "waiter". Patience is definitely not one of my strong points. Now, Kevin on the other hand, reminds me frequently that we are NOT in a hurry to sell. And I say "I know"....but then I am secretly shooting daggers....I don't like hearing him say this!!!! :)

Well....even though I'm kinda bummed....I've still got hope. I know once the right buyer likes what they see....we'll be so pleased and awed at God's perfect timing!!!!
