House for Sale

Well, after a lot of thought and deliberation we have made the decision to put our house for sale, last week. George and I are sad, this is the house we wanted to raise our children, but we have to do what's best for us and I am sure god has other plans for us. The real estate business is not what it used to be. Work is very slow for a lot of us in this business. A few of our friends who are in the same field, have placed their homes for sale or some have lost everything. I am very sad, but at the same time excited. Once the house sales, we can be debt free and take alot of things off our shoulders. We have decided to rent for awhile and then take our time searching for a new place to call our home and add to our family.

I hope and pray that the house sales fast and we can get to the next chapter of our lives and not go bankrupt, with how the economy is right now.

Hello!

Hi everyone!! I am still here just nothing really to blog about lately. I have been scrapping a bit and just enjoying some beautiful weather with Briana, playing outside with her T-Ball, bike and shes learning to skate.

A few days ago, George found out he needs minor knee cap surgery for his torn meniscus. Its a out patient surgery, so he is not to nervous. He will have to have crutches for at least 2 weeks and then some physical therapy. He is not sure, when he will have the surgery. The Dr. said its not an emergency, but he would like to have it done by the end of the month.

Not Much Going ON

Well, not much has been going on here, just the usual work and home stuff. I have been scrapping a little here and there these past few days. So thought I would share some of them with you all. I have mostly been doing cards. I just started doing them, maybe in the last few months. Starting to love it now.

It's Out!!

There it is my name in print. The June issue of Creating Keepsakes is out and so is my little story in the "In Your Words" column. George went out and got me two issues one to keep somewhere safe and the other to get torn up if it needs to be. He is so awesome! Now I just need to stalk my mail woman for my Computer Tricks 2 magazine....Woo-Hoo!!!



Awesome photo taken by my friend April at Scrapfreak.

My mothers day was very low key, nothing exciting. It was just us 3 hanging out at home and watching some TV and movies. We ordered pizza, chicken & mojos from Shakeys Pizza, my favorite place and them we made Hot Fudge Sundaes. George and Briana gave me earrings and beautiful flowers. I still need to take some pictures of them before they wilt.

Hope you have a beautiful day with your loved ones.

Woohoo!!!
