Ugggghhhh - it has been a LONG stretch of sickness in the Carpenter household the past few weeks. I think our family slogan for 2011 should be, "We don't just get sick, we get SICK!" Thankfully, I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Tim was my nurse last week/beginning of this week when I was sick, and now it's my turn to take care of him. The baby has escaped this one unharmed...I'm hoping and praying it will stay that way. Lots has been happening, but when you are in charge of the entire house and all the people and animals in it it's difficult to find time to write!
We received an offer on our house - it was really low, but it's an offer nonetheless. Since we're attempting a short sale it's all up to the bank at this point. I was writing an e-mail to a friend the other day and mentioned how this whole situation is now fully in God's hands - not that it hasn't been this entire time, but now that it's out of our hands completely it's easier to see how much it is IN God's hands completely. We have nothing left to do but pray, since all of the paperwork has been submitted.
In other news, we are flying to Florida in March (thank GOD) for a much needed vacation as a little family. Tim received two vouchers for flights due to getting bumped on a trip he took this summer - we decided to cash in and go someplace warm and FREE...to visit my grandmother in her retirement community. I know, soooo glamorous - you are jealous. My nana couldn't be happier that we are coming to visit and I couldn't be happier to have something to look forward to in a few more weeks.
I shall end my night dreaming of a spa pedicure/manicure, an eyebrow wax (my eyebrows scare me when I look too closely in the mirror...), and a massage. Then, I shall wake up tomorrow and think about what a nice dream that was, and pluck my own eyebrows - ouch!
