Wondering Thursday update 7/22/2010

It is "wondering Thursday" but i am not wondering because I know that my hubby is working tomorrow. He will be home some time tomorrow evening. This week has gone by kinda fast even though I have only left this room once I think ! Chad has been sick this week. He started off at the end of last week with a cough and then fever. This week he has also been acquiring some new symptoms on and off. Poor guy ! He seems to be doing better today though. he had no fever last night and for that I am glad. In fact today all he really has is a cough. He has been up playing and jumping all about the room. That is an improvement as he has been laying around on the couch or bed all the other previous days. Last weekend we revisited a home that we have been thinking of purchasing. It wouldn't be my first choice but I believe we could be happy there. The guy who is willing to owner finance it has been taking some time to get the paper work done. Nothing new for down here. Yet I have to say I keep wondering if God is going to bring something else along. Honestly I am ok with purchasing the modular on half an acre. In fact the only thing that I am not happy about is I know for the same price or even $5,000 cheaper we could buy a stick built home. There are some with even more land. It is just that we need someone who is willing to owner finance as we recently have had a short sale and other mishaps to our credit. Nothing I am ashamed of as my husbands unemployment for the whole month only equaled what he use to make in one week. There was nothing we could do about it. Anyway, I am even excited about having a new project to work on. I would love to give that modular a new makeover. The poor thing is crying for one. I love to decorate and I would welcome the challenge. I guess I am just not getting to excited until I know this is what God has for me. If I know that is what He is going to bless me with then I will jump up and down with joy. If he brings someone our way to owner finance a stick built home OR a home with even more land then I will jump up and down and cry with joy ! LOL Either way I will be jumping up and down with joy. I really want a place outside of the city limits. In fact that is the one thing that has kept me from begging Gene to owner fiance this big beautiful home in Mullins we have looked at. Eugene could probably get the down payment needed for that home and then in 5 years we would own it out right. It is a huge home that in the end would be worth showing off in a magazine. It sits on almost half an acre. I absolutely love it ! LOVE IT ! Yet it is in town. So technically I wouldn't be allowed to have chickens there. I might get away with it as it looks like the old owners had some but I could be told I need to get rid of them. Also no mini goats or anything. As silly as it sounds I really want to be able to get Chad these types of animals. I have just found in the last two years what I think is important in life. I really want my son to enjoy more simple joys in life. To be out playing with his animal friends instead of playing video games, ext. One of the reasons Eugene and I decided to go back a little ways from the beach is so we could enjoy the best of both worlds. The beach and the country. What could be better ? I have already looked on the internet at the seeds we could plant in a garden. All the different types of fruit trees and such. Oh what fun that will be :) We can play around in the yard and still do day or half day trips to the beach ! I am so happy that God has allowed us to come back down here ! God is good !
