UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE

Rather than posting a bunch of posts, I'm going to do one long drawn out update.

MOST IMPORTANT - PRAISE
Many of you have prayed for our daughter who began to experience some health problems this time last year, we had chronic issues for about 8 months and were finally able to make some headway in the last four months. Her checkup was yesterday and for the first time in a long time, she showed no signs of inflammation! She has done so much better, the dr. thought she looked wonderful and we have a clean bill of health. Praise God!

AND THE WINNER IS...
renting!!!!!!!!! We tried to get Geronimo, however, as we climbed the steep mountain of escalating seller's demands, we got to the point where we were no longer able to jump off - but we tried! Poor little Cinderella had more problems than a few cobwebs and a bunch of dust. Some probable structural issues have left a prominent crack in her glass slipper...alas we will not be her prince charming to repair that. And Tinkerbell...well we just decided that someday we might want to grow up and move out of Neverland, so we are opting to rent for the moment until we find the right thing in the right area for the right price. God is faithful and patience will be recognized in this housing endeavor. It is too big of a decision to make too quickly with a lot at stake.

EYELINER FOR LIPSTICK
I've been rather frazzled these days and I got some new eyeliner it is a bronzy color and thought it was real different, so I got it to try. Yesterday, I mistakenly used it as lip liner! YIKES. However, do you know it stayed on so much better all day, and because of the bronze color, it didn't look bad at all. Two for one baby!

BOXES
And if you happen to have boxes you want to get rid of let me know or you can drop them off on our porch. Thanks!

I seriously wish that you would post every day. I laugh each time I open your blog.
Yay! I'm so glad that Sheridan is doing better. I know it's been a long process.
And...welcome to the renting club. :)
I wish I could have seen your face when you put the eyeliner on your lips. Honestly, you have the most beautiful smile in the world, and it wouldn't have mattered if you put on black eyeliner!

Sounds like a wise decision to wait on the right house.
So glad your daughter is doing better!!

Hey, sorry the house buying thing did not work out. I do happen to have a bunch of boxes. Just let me know when you want them and I will get them to you.
