grown up woes

it is saturday afternoon and here i sit on my couch watching mindless reality tv with little lulu sound asleep on my lap and still in my pajamas. yesterday was a tiring day and when i woke up this morning...the motivation was lacking. i guess i just have a lot on my mind.

if you talk to anyone in the US, they will probably tell you it is a buyers market...but not really a sellers market.

after being on the market for only 8 DAYS, our house is now under contract.

so basically that means we have a couple of weeks to find a house. only problem is, we did not think we were going to sell our house so fast and therefore had not even started looking. after sorting through a lot, jared and i realized we need to wait a week or so before we can make an offer on a house we absolutely love. house hunting can be exciting and incredibly exhausting at the same time. as exciting as selling our house is, it's a little nerve racking knowing that we are pressed for time, that there is a house we love at the right price, but we have to wait for a couple of checks to come in before we can even think about making an offer and by then it may be gone.
God is teaching me patience yet again. funny thing is, i have an unusual sense of peace knowing that there really isn't anything i can do, but that everything will work out according to him plan. just knowing that God is in control gives me an enormous sense of peace in and of itself.

growing up can be fun at times, but it isn't as fun and carefree as i always imagined it would be.

in knowing that, i am off to my grandmothers for one of her yummy home cooked meals with jared and haley and baby berry! grandmothers are such a beautiful blessing :)
