Insanity

Here are the top 10 reasons why my blog has majorly suffered and why life is as complicated as ever:

1. we moved

2. Bo is in the middle of being hired by a new company

3. we are renting our old house - yet selling it in October by the woman who is renting it

4. back to work (it's been great though) no longer sleeping in just plain sucks, however I am loving my adult and professional time

5. had an issue with E and H's preschool - seriously considered pulling them out, so we met with another local preschool director - however we decided the best decision is to stay put (although I am still highly upset with them about a very minor issue, which they made a ridiculous decision on without trying any possible solutions)

6. My sister was rushed to the hospital this week thinking she was in preterm labor - turns out she had either a gall bladder attack or pulmonary embolism. I was up at 3:15 in the morning to go watch my  nephew who then did not want to go back to sleep until 5:30. You can imagine how I felt at work that day. Lindsay was thankfully released, the baby is fine and we are just hoping she does not have another attack. They cannot do any testing until the baby is born.

7. stressing over new appliances being installed, cabinetry work done in the kitchen, decorations, new furniture, painting rooms, yard work, carpet - you name it.

8. girls birthday party is in TWO weeks!

9. I am hosting a baby shower for my sister in THREE weeks!

10. doctor appointments, paperwork, back to school shopping for preschool

So.......there you have it. Things are crazy - HOWEVER I am not complaining BECAUSE every single thing that has happened to us recently has happened for a reason and we have seen these reasons pop up every step of the way and within just weeks of each other. God has a plan. He has planned for us to live more comfortably in a bigger house with a huge yard and private area. Because the house was my grandmother's He has planned for her house to not be sold by just anyone and that we can keep this house in the family. He has planned for Bo to not travel as much, be home more, up his career in the medical field and possibly start his MBA soon. He has provided celebrations - Emma's birthday, upcoming parties and a new baby in the family. He had a plan for a lovely lady, although she is conquering major hurdles in her life, to desire our old house so much she was willing to rent early and therefore help us financially. It is also going to be a perfect place for her to live. She is also buying it at a very reasonable amount of money considering the real estate market, paying for closing costs and there is no realtor fee because she approached us herself and has been interested since the beginning of summer.

Aside from the births of our girls I have never seen God at so much work for our family. It also makes sense to why I got the job last year at Hillpoint. Everything is working in a positive manner and although time has been an issue and things have been crazy, we could not be more thankful to be where we we are today.

I hope I can catch up a little bit and post pictures later when a few more things are done to the house!
