so....we're moving again. the house that we're renting finally sold (miraculously) and we're going to have to find another place to rent. i really was not worried due to the economy and the fact that there are probably a million and a half houses for sale in Anderson b/c nobody moves here. well, i'm now proven wrong. we technically don't have to be out till december sometime, but i'm not moving then!!we decided to do it now and get it over with.
we only have one prospective house that we're looking to rent and, needless to say, we're REALLY hoping it works out. we can't see it until november 1, and from the pictures it actually looks like it would be just fine..maybe even another full bathroom! i'm just really hoping that we're the first ones in line with deposit and application in hand, that the house is a decent place to live, and that we can just hop on over there without a hitch. we'll see. what timing, huh?
i'm really trying not to be upset about it, even though the timing sucks and moving's a pain and costs money AND the fact that we just finished painting the baby room here. we have very generous landlords who allowed us to paint whatever we wanted, and i'm wondering if that helped sell the stupid thing. some couple probably thought, "oh,look. the nursery's already done and it's so cute! we'll take it!" bah.
ah, well. onward and upward. just waiting for that peace i'm supposed to be feeling. how am i supposed to "nest" and get ready for the baby if i don't even know where my nest will be?
30 week pictures coming soon. i'm getting a little more camera shy the bigger i get...

hi friend. you mom told me all about everything on Sunday. Have peace in knowing that you not only have family near by, you also have a huge church family. You just have to be willing to let them help!! And just think, the first nursery was like a trial - make sure you like everything (which I think its totally cute) and now this is your second opportunity to make any changes you may have thought of.... or maybe you were just totally happy with it the first time, then you konw you will be happy with it again! anyway, I hope you have a very nice baby shower this weekend and Im sorry we can't come but have fun!! :) love you and we are praying for you!
ReplyDeletecan i just say something that you have permission to hate me for saying because i would have hated anyone who said this to me-a lot of 1st timers go past their due date. this could be a huge blessing that you get to "nest" again later in the game because i know you would have that whole nursery stocked and the house baby-proofed way early and then want that baby out already so you can get to work on taking care of him. you will already want to kill every person you see starting around 2 weeks before your due date, so maybe this distraction of moving will give you plenty to do between now and then. lol. but nonetheless, looking forward to seeing the new place and nursery when you move!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you don't go too far past your due date if you do go late. I was 21 days past my so called due date. Good luck with the move Courtney and with the last 7 weeks of your pregnancy. You are going to do great.
ReplyDeleteoooo, you and timbo should put up the big group pics from your shower! i can't wait to hold isaac!! also, heather will remind him forever that she held him in the womb. it's quite endearing. lol.
