So ummm...
Mostly nursing my anxiety -induced belly aches and trying to stay grounded and faithful. Been band-aiding the rug burns on my knees the last two days and hoping God doesnt put me on his call block list because Ive been blowing His line up recently just asking for more and more and more..
Thank God for grace!
We went to look at a RYAN homesite last Saturday afternoon. Denise, the sales consultant, was very nice and very knowledgeable. She offered us a deal we couldnt refuse on a beautiful home on a beautiful site. We walked through someone else's drywalled shell of our model and trudged through the dirt to see where ours could be built. We spent two hours getting all of our questions answered and scheduled and appointment to come back the next day and run numbers with all the options. We went home Saturday night exhausted. The oriigional plan was to stop by the site on the way to the movies but by the time all was said and done we were SPENT. We prayed a lot that night. We showed up at 1PM sharp and spent the next 3 hours maxing out the entire house with options. After we did all that we realized we needed to comp the house to one of the larger models with all the same options. Wouldnt you know the larger house came out 10K cheper with all the same options? We agonized over it for a while but in the end our "smaller" model had much more character despite being about 400 sq ft smaller.
We ran some more numbers and gave her a check to hold the home site and scheduled and appointment to go back and choose the specific color options and give her a larger check Tuesday night.
We prayed some more. I was sick most of tuesday. Nerves mostly.
We showed up check in hand. Walked through the half-completed homesite with our model again and still loved it.
Picked out brick, shutters, door colors. Bath tiles, faucets and cabinetry... door handles and stair spindles... and the list went on and on and on.
Then we signed our life away on the dotted line and gave her a fat check.
I am officially broke but HAPPY!!!
We'll move in late August/Early Sept.

On a side note I had my wisdom teeth removed a week ago today.
WORST experience of my life. Ive just regained my ability to speak like a developmentally ABLE person. I swear Id take gastric bypass over have 4 wisdom teeth out ANY day.
To top it all off Im hooked on Lortab( its like Vicodin) and I dont think I can make it through the day with out it.
On a brighter note I lost 8lbs this week. Not eatinig much solid food makes a big difference.
