Well, we're putting our house up for sale. We are going to downsize. I think it's the smart thing to do because it's just me and Lamar in this big house almost all the time. Macy is here on some weekends and for 3 months in the summer but we still have a really big house for just 3 people. It's rare that I ever even go upstairs. I decided to just start looking online at houses and the day I did, I found this adorable house. Not only is it white with black shutters with dormer windows but it also has a front porch. It has my name written all over it. It's in our price range, too, and in a good neighborhood. They are asking less than $100 a square foot which is very rare for a cute house in a good neighborhood. It's also 2,700 square feet...not too big and not too small. Anyway, Lamar called our realtor today to make an appointment to see it. We were going to go on Friday. Well, Virginia called back to say it already has a contract on it. :( I'm disappointed but I trust the Lord 100%! Look how cute this house is, though.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this house!!! I could just see me sitting on that front porch in a porch swing with Charlie Bear by my side. Also, I really really liked the inside. Oh well. God knows what He's doing and where we're supposed to be. He also knows when and if our house will sell. There is a house on our street that has been for sale for over a year. It has a contract on it now, though. I love the neighborhood we're in now. I've always loved this neighborhood. It's the safest I have ever felt. I also like our house a lot. I understand about downsizing and that is what we need to do, though. I'm a little sad about it but the house above made me feel a little better about it. I trust the Lord completely, though. He knows things that I could never know and I trust Him with our future.
Little princess had a swimming lesson yesterday. Her instructor was a man and the other 2 kids in her lesson were boys. Rosy does much better with girls and she's already scared of the water some. She got in the water, which was good, but then she wouldn't jump to the guy and I personally don't blame her. I thought he moved too fast for her. Hannah and I went in the office and cancelled her other appointments. She's going to learn but maybe with a girl instructor, like me or Hannah. :) I taught Macy to swim, after all.
I was doing the dishes today and looked out the window and saw this pretty bush with pretty pink flowers. It was a nice surprise. I had to take a picture. We're not going to be in the house forever so I want to cherish things like this. See the rose to the right of the picture...that's a rose from the beautiful bouquet on top of Ree's (my grandmother) casket. We all took a rose. It's been sitting there since December and I think of Ree every time I see it.

I have had a problem with all my plastic storage containers for awhile now. I can never find the top that goes with the bottom. Today I was putting up the dishes and saw some more tops hidden away and decided to put the tops with the bottoms.
Much better!!! :) Now I won't have to scramble around looking for a top to fit the bottom! YAY! I threw away the extra tops and extra bottoms that didn't have a pair. I really need to start organizing my house and going through stuff to give away, throw away, and to keep. There is supposed to be a curb side pickup for anything people want to give away sometime this week....I think it's the 9th but I put up the sheet while I was cleaning and now I can't find it. That happens to me quite a bit. Hopefully, I'll find it.
I realize I've blogged twice today but I need to catch up. After getting my blog made into a book, I realize how much I love having a place to go back and read about our lives. If I don't blog, I don't remember the small things like I do when I blog. I still have to put up Easter pictures and write about that so I may blog 3 times today!! :) Lamar's at his Tuesday night meeting...he just started a few weeks ago and really loves it. I'm headed to go walking. I've been waiting until it's a little cooler. Right now it's 80 but it's just going to have to do because Lamar will be home soon and I want to be able to spend the evening with him. Off to walk! :)
