Ramblings

good morning.

Thank you all for the wonderful wishes for the house. We talked to our realtor yesterday and she has only been able to get in contact with the wife and proposed the deal to her, renting with option to buy, then two years buying it for the full asking price... which no one ever really offers full asking price for the first offer. But she hasn't been able to get in contact with the husband. She said they travel in separate circuits, not sure exactly how this work but we are just hoping she will be able to get in touch with him soon. We are on pins & needles and not sleeping well trying to wait this out. Not to mention all the plans and ideas that are circulating in our thoughts, although we are trying to not get too far ahead of ourselves.

they say all good things come to those that wait. right? that is how i'm trying to see this situation we talked to Sig about the house then had to wait about a week to see it... we liked it. then we made the offer and are waiting for her to propose it to the owners and i'm hoping since we have waited 3 days so far, with out knowing when we will hear from any of them, that this will have a good outcome.

for some reason i have really wonderful luck with things that i want working out in my favor. it is unreal. something always changes or bends or just goes exactly right in the universe so that things work out for me. i'm really thankful for this and hope that it will be the same way with this house. BUT at the same time things don't always go the way i want or plan or even calculate... and although it is sometimes set back and disappointing, to say the least, it is always for a reason. Some of the most major things in my life that have failed seem to have been for the BEST reasoning and made up more significant parts of my life. things and people that i couldn't imagine being absent in my life.

so although i'm trying to play it cool and think positively... i'm still dying to hear from Sig and see what the owners think of our proposal. as soon as i'm done either celebrating or being disappointed and trying to come up with another proposal for them, since we were approved for the mortgage and could still go that route, i will come post about it so you all can know what is going on.


ALSO!! Thank you all for the camera info. It seems as though my camera is really truly passed on. :( sad i know. i'm trying not to fret about it... and i'm also trying not to think of all the pictures i'm missing every. single. day.

ugh!!

i'm not sure what to do yet. i'm not sure where to shop first. i did some research with lead me to the Canon Rebel XSi... but wow!! that is pretty pricey and right now my finances need to be focused in other directions... a LOT of other directions. so i con't to search and see what you are all using. :) thanks for all the advice.

Not Only...

Not only am I loosing my mind...

but dammit, now I've gone and lost the camera too!!

Shit!

Alright, I know it has to be around here some where!

The question is now...

Where exactly is that some where place???

lol (well sort of)

; )

Once I find the darn thing, I'll post some of the

pictures from Chuck E. Cheese!!

(wish me luck in finding it, and thank God,

that I know where all the kids are today.)

Lions and Tigers and Bears....

OH MY!!! Okay, okay... so there were no lions and alright there wasn't even a tiger... but oh Lord, there was definitely a BEAR!!! Yep!! I finally in my 28 yrs of life and living in the country go to see a live bear just roaming around!!! I cannot believe it!! I was so excited I grabbed the camera, shut the windows in the living room... don't ask... long, long, WAY long story. ;) I went out onto the porch to take some pictures of this amazing beautiful HUGE black bear and guess what... he was gone!! I was so disappointed... but hey at least I got to see him!!! I told Trevor to stay in the house and I went out in the yard and looked for him some.... I was slightly apprehensive, but more anxious to see him again than anything.
I couldn't believe that I really saw a bear just sitting in my yard. I was so excited that I started to shake... it was so amazing. I'm still keeping an eye out hoping that maybe he will come back here. I called Bryan and my parents to tell them all... no one was quite as excited as I was. Oh well.
So that is all for now... I'll keep you all posted if there is any more sightings... and one day I might have some time to fill you all in on the long, long, WAY long story of why I closed the windows in the living room...
