In Other News

I try to keep this thing less of a pity party - sob fest and more of an upbeat view on life I tried as long as I could not to post this post. But some things in life don't come with an upbeat twist or a sarcastic cover. So here goes.   We are not moving.    At the last min. my husband's boss' decided that they didn't actually want him in NC and bam-O! We are not moving.  We were able to get out of our contract with the builder in NC for only our current life savings. And hope to get out of the contract to sell our current home equally as un-sued. So cancel your plane tickets and put on hold your plans to visit because we are staying put.
It has been very hard to give up the dream home we were building. Harder still to hear that they were pulling the tile out of our master bathroom and kitchen. The plan is literally in pieces. We are slowly picking them up one at a time, brushing them off and trying to figure out how this puzzle goes back together.
For now J still has a job, everyone is healthy (not always the case through this thing) and we are still a family with two wonderful and oblivious kids. Claire is excited for the start of Kindergarten in a week and a half. and Nick is looking forward to having all the toys to himself for a change. It's been a whirl-wind summer and it can't end fast enough for me. Fall is coming and I am eager to see what it brings.

so sad for you that you are not moving-I know how excited you were. (I was excited to just get to see the progress)
