Life Moves Fast
That sure is the case around these parts right now.
Some of you that spent time with me at PodCamp Nashville know that I got an offer on our old house during it. That fell apart quickly and went no where. So when I got a similar call during SXSW I tried to keep thing in check and not tell that many people. But, this one felt different.
I’m not about to celebrate quite yet (yes I can be a pessimist from time to time), but last night we signed the purchase and sale on it. This was suppose to happen on Friday and when it didn’t I got a big old pit in my stomach that sort of distracted me from everything else going on. Ripping off some blue ink signatures last night at 10pm sure did make for a nice end to the day.
So for everyone who has been crossing their fingers and holding their breath (thanks Dave) it is one step closer to done. As I’ve been saying when it finally does go through you’ll know! No worries there.
We took the kids by last weekend for one last look at their rooms and swing on the swing set. They had a blast.
Now I’m just dealing with all the administrative things that come with this. Inspections, phone calls, e-mails, etc. It’ll be worth it come next week and we have everything done!
In other news that made last night pretty cool, our close friends Laura and Patrick welcomed a new baby girl into the world on Monday. I can’t wait to meet her. I’m sure she is as beautiful as her mother. Congrats guys!

Life does move fast….
You wrote “We took the kids by last weekend for one last look at their rooms and swing on the swing set. They had a blast.”
That reminds me of when we moved to our new home. The place where we were before was awful for our family. We lived out in the country where we had a gravel driveway that when it snowed made it impossible to drive on. Not only did we have to walk 1/4 mile to the road, but when it snowed, that meant no water could be “delivered” to our home, meaning weeks if not several months without running water…..
I could go on, but my comment would be longer than your post. The thing is that with as much as this house was so exciting to move into, it was very difficult emotionally to leave behind the home where we lived when our first two children were born.
We still pass that home on the way to my parents and our oldest says… “Dad, can we go see my old room.” Ah the memories of playing with her in her room. That home is full of memories!
I pray that the sale goes through!

*laugh* Thanks for the smile Dave. I wasn’t sure what I was going to find on the other side of that link, but it made me smile for sure.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Congratulations on this, C.C. I do hope and pray that things continue to go smoothly for you guys. I’m hoping that Dave hasn’t turned blue from holding his breath.
Congrats also to your friends Laura and Patrick.
Life definitely comes at you fast.
Make it a great day!
