Life

Sorry it's been so long. I have a couple reasons for that.

One: our desktop computer got a virus and is not working properly
and
Two: I've been very busy and sick

I ended up not finishing my 24 day challenge because we thought I might be pregnant and I knew not to diet when I thought I was pregnant. So I am now finishing where I left off, but I don't think the effect will be the same. I will probably continue some of the weight loss products and try to lose weight, but I won't blog everyday about the progress. (some of you are cheering right about now)

I think we have made somewhat of a decision about the baby/pregnancy thing in our lives. For right now we are supposed to raise our daughter as an only child (I'll be honest she takes quite a bit of attention). I will continue with my weight loss until I hit my goal weight.

After I hit my goal weight and Martie is out of the house (or closer to out of the house) we will start thinking about if we want to expand the family, and possibly how we want to do that. We will be praying as of now about it...because it's never too early to start praying.

We aren't sure we want to adopt again. Nothing against Martie, but it's can be very tough. It's been quite an emotional experience and I don't think it's something we are called to do again. (but that's where the prayer comes in...God's will, not ours)

There is one other medical procedure that we haven't tried that's not as expensive as some of the high tech ones, and we are considering trying that one in the future. But like I said, this will be a year or two into the future. I have actually become quite content with our little family, and I'm really ok if we are not going to have any other children.

Ok, our possible future children (or not) is not exactly what I'd call breaking news or even a big-time announcement. But I do have something that is in the process of changing that is very exciting.......

.....we are looking at houses. We are ready to be home-owners again. We are looking in a nearby town (about 15-20 mins away from our town now). And as of now, we found one we all fell in love with. Ok, I'll be honest we've only peaked in the windows and one door, but the little bit we've seen, we've liked. It needs some TCL, but from what we can see, it's not in horrible shape. And it is very roomy and open inside. And it has three of my favorite features (I actually prayed that God would let us get a house with these things). It has a bay window...I've always wanted a house with one, it has a fireplace in the living room...can't tell if it's a real one or a fake one, and it has at least one room with a hard-wood floor.

The outside needs paint really bad, but it has the paintable aluminum siding so it won't be bad, and I absolutely love painting and was hoping to have a house we could paint.

**(side note) I once painted houses as a job for a summer with my mom. We paid for the family to go to Disney Land in California.

Anyway, I think I've went on enough for today. As you can tell I've missed blogging. I love sharing parts of my life with you. Just be praying that no matter what God's will is, that we would stay in it. God bless you and keep you till we meet here again.
