What a day for miracles.

What would you start to think if the carefully laid plans from 3 months prior were suddenly screeching to a halt? That is how we were the past two days. We put our schedules together right. We planned the closing, the move the doctor appt. The final inspection. All was going the way it should. Some lender, decided to put a stop to everything with one sheet of paper 24 hours prior to closing. I don't know how anyone else would act, but I give myself a gold star for not losing my temper on everyone. Hettie and I kept the faith, we knew we had to close yesterday. I don't even have the time to tell the whole story. I'll continue this later but we have to move today... Gotta go.

How about that...

I am on cloud nine this week. We are expecting for those of you who have not been in touch with us. I am excited and have no idea how to express myself. Hettie and I have been transitioning from our lifestyles to ones more accommodating to babies. We are going to be buying and planning and shopping and inviting. There will be painting and prepping and lots of babyproofing. We are excited about all sorts of things and have no idea where to start. We already have our first appt. to see the OB. The unborn baby will have it's first flight in late Oct. Time ot start thinking names. We appreciate the input from anyone, good luck getting your name on the list. And no we are not wanting to know the sex beforehand. We are hoping to have a healthy baby and that is it. Until then, we want to hear the heartbeat, see the ultrasound go to classes and just enjoy the ride. I'll check in from time to time. I need to tell the story somehow!!! Love to you all, and we hope you all are as blessed as we are right now.

Labor Day!

Isn't it great to get Monday off? I always enjoy the 3 day weekends. I like the fact that the next week is only 4 days too. For me it will still be five. Better than six. I am working on getting the sales and service up for the pinellas office. AJ and I have made some big steps in the business. I hope we keep up our run. The real reason for this blog, is because of the wonderful travel we have done this weekend. Hettie, John and I have been up in Crystal springs seeing sights and interacting with local wildlife. Manatees are very cool. They average about 1000 lbs. They swim so gracefully and I think they are some of the friendliest animals out there. They have a wonderful disposition, no wonder they get harassed so much by others. They have no natural predators, but they do no harm other than eating and traveling. I see now why they are called "sea cows". They are pretty cool though. Hettie left a wonderful detailed message about what we did yesterday. I'll let it go at that. Time to relax for the rest of the day, and pray for those in the upper gulf area. We'll be heading home today to get our pup and go home. Take care all.
