Land Baron-ing

[feliciakw]

I'm writing this post from my house in Va. We brought Geo some stuff so he could move in. Our yard is HUGE!!! With all sorts of plants. We're going to have to learn to like gardening. And we have strawberries in the yard! And gillyflowers. Gillyflowers always remind me of Sweeney Todd because it's a line in the lyrics in one of the songs. But they have this wonderful, spicy, clove-esque scent.

I'm going to meet with a couple of job leads today, then we (folks, MiL, and Bro's Wife SiL) are heading back to Ohio.

And in other news, we've got an offer on the house. This is good. They want us to pay lots of stuff at closing. This is not good. I'm sure the timing of this offer is not a coincidence, but I'm praying for acceptance and peace where the offer is concerned. Geo has felt for a while that we'd have to make a sacrifice where the Ohio house is concerned. This is it. Of course, sacrifice is never "fun" or "welcome," so I need to come to terms with this and move on. Thinking about how we'll be helping someone else become homeowners and contributers to the economic structure of our country sort of helps.

But our new house is beautiful!

I know what you mean about having to learn to garden. :-) That'll be me and my roomies, too.

Hooray for the offer on the house! I'll pray for peace for you and Geo, and also that maybe they'll back down a bit on the stuff they want you to pay. Even a bit helps.

(Are you as excited as I am about CSI tonight? Will you be watching it tomorrow because of the driving time and so forth? I bet you will.)

Yes, I'm way behind in replying to stuff.

Prayer works. I know it does. I just need to learn patience. Thank you for your prayers. :-)

Yay for new house being beautiful and fun smelling flowers!!

Praying for your new job, old house, etc. Sacrifice isn't fun, you're right.

But good stuff is coming! I can feel it! :P

Thank you so much, Kim, for your prayers. I just need to learn patience and trust. I really do. The thing with the house as turned out great. Now I need to trust that God will put me in a job I like as well as the one I'm leaving, with people I like as well.

So much love for your icon. :-)
