Buying a House

The process of buying a house is a painful and long process. It is simple when looked at on paper, but agonizing when the process is going through. It can suck the life out of you and have you on an emotional roller coaster. It is worse than a visit to the dentist to get a root canal--actually I shouldn't say that, I have personally never had one, and don't plan to either, but I can imagine how painful that is as the root is exposed for that brief amount of time.....

Buying this house was supposed to go much smoother, but I should have known better. There are somethings you can count on in life: death, taxes, and home buying is NEVER smooth.

That said and out of the way, we will know today or tomorrow whether or not we get this house, and whether or not we begin a different kind of home search. Either way there will be a post tomorrow.

Welcome!

So, I thought I would try my hand at this whole blog thing. Ramanda is my inspiration, so thanks to you!

Hmmm, I guess I will start with some basics of what is going on with us, and then later will add more.

Blaine starts his new job as an English teacher on Feb. 1 at a local private theraputic boarding school. It is a great opportunity for him to start teaching as he doesn't have his Bachelor's degree yet. This will help him finish this and then he can take an alternate route to liscensure for his teaching liscense. In the process he will get his Master's degree. I am so proud of him.

Adam and Austin are doing great in first grade, and are excellent readers. They are getting so tall, and will be baptized in June.

Anna is part of a preschool group where each of the mother's take a turn at teaching, so I only have to teach once every 7 weeks. Not to bad for me.

Lily is potty training now, and is finally getting the hang of it. She is doing great.

I am looking into starting my own daycare. It is contingent on us getting the house we put an offer on, cause I obviously can't do it when we still live with Blaine's mother. I am hoping we get this new house, but I know it will all work out the way the Lord intends it to, and it will be the way that is best for us.

Other wise we are great and just L-I-V-I-N!

Anyway, I hope this works and that people look at it....

Later!
