We bought the house last night!<P>YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!<P>And, my son gave me some seeds, decorated a styrofoam cup and wrote all over it about the best mother he could have!!! And H took my son shopping and they returned with a wonderful card and a little Birdhouse for the new house!!!! YES YES YES!!!<P>and...... you are not going to believe this one......<P>My oldest stepdaughter brought me a basket that she made for me - with potpouri, incense and an incense burner, a plaque and card. The card says:<BR> "For all the good times, good talks, and good feelings you've given me ~~ Thank you so much." <P>~~~~~ahhhhh!!!~~~~~

WilliamJ,<BR>don't know where those icon's are! I think the wink is as close as it can come! Both H and I almost started crying when I received the basket from my SD on Sat. If all the emotions have been bottled up, they came flooding out of me while watching Touched by an Angel last night. Now I'm exhausted! But a good kind of exhausted!<P>Dear LWB - I know I have been where you are right now - and it aint no fun But, maybe you can see there can be a light at the end of the tunnel? hugs to you.<P>Butterfly - It is wonderful. I'll have an extra room - if you need a break from those fires, you can come up and visit. I know we'd have a good time!<P>Brown0674 - Thank you for this reminder. He is always with us. I have prayed for your situation many times, and I'm sure in God's timing your husband will come to his senses. Once those scales are removed.<P>J Willy - Thank you for the prayers, and I'm sure I will remember this. Most holidays go by without any attention or notice from my husband, so - I might say - I was a bit surprised. I am very busy trying to get ready for vacation - getting some things wrapped up before I go. Had an article to write yesterday for the newspaper and it took me about 5.5 hours because I was so excited! Couldn't sleep last night! Still excited! Thanks for the prayers.<P>FHL - I'm glad that you are glad. Glad you remembered your password also. Geesh, would we have guessed this a year ago? How are you doing from your accident?<P>Nancy - Cool! We need to package up your confidence in the rest of it and spoon feed it to you! God Bless you.<P>Medic!!! You CRACK me up! You never fail. Well, we have one boat that floats pretty good. H caught some nice bass yesterday, had to throw 'em back though. Too early! Fishing Opener was on Mothers Day...I think that is cool, gets kids and dads out on the lake and lets mom have a break. We've got an extra room downstairs! We are so cramped for space in our little house now that I can't believe I'll have 3 added rooms! Even an underground tornado shelter encased in concrete. Will make a perfect little office for me. I just can't believe this! YEAH!<P>Catnip, I hope that our 7 year old can have so many wonderful memories that it will overshadow the painful ones. Thank you. Let me know if you find any good buys on paddle boats... <P>Bozo's wife, Deb: So cool, huh? He is always so awesome. Always puts the cherry on top (like the decoration on a hot fudge sundae) when he answers prayer. In this case, the "cherry" was the thoughtfulness of my oldest stepdaughter. That God's specialty.... reconciliation!<P>Lori - Can't stop from using the smiles! Hey, anymore talk about you and Robert's new dreamhouse you want to build?<P>NSR - Yes, good news can raise your spirits. And, we are on our way to CA to celebrate my son's wedding. It is just when you really need to believe in answered prayer, and the promises of God for marriage. I'm really thankful. God has great timing.<P>Professorg - Yes he is!! Thanks for all the prayers, Rob! Answered prayers are just wondeful, aren't they! YES! God Bless you and your wife. Hope she still has her wedding ring on, and hoping her mothers day put a lot of points in your lovebank. <P>To all who have prayed - even those that didn't post, like wasstubborn, and cl, and emptyshell, all of you - Thank you so very very much for your friendship and prayers for me and my family. God Bless Us All!<P>And, I forgot to let you guys know - my husband bought me a scanner (He was on his toes this weekend, huh?) - so now I can send some pictures your way (once I figure out how it works) (and once I get back from CA!!!) <P>LIFE IS GRAND!!!!!!!!!<P><BR>

Pahakissa! I'm sorry, I scrolled right by your post and passed you up! <P>Well, we aren't sure when we move in.... On Friday, my husband got a call from his real estate agent in Wisconsin, and he had two offers on his house he inherited. The agent told him not to be surprised if he has another offer for $10K over the listing price. So, it depends on how fast the buyer in Wisconsin can get it together. We have a deadline of August 15th to give them the downpayment.<P>My husband negotiated a deal (he is a professional negotiator, he's good at that unbelievable) at 7% for 15 years. So, we will only need to use a small amount of money from the sale of the inherited house. In the meantime, we will be fixing up the one we are in, and when it is finally finished, we will sell that and we will have the money to remodal, repay my husband for the use of the inherited money, and even have enough left over to do something creative - like pay down on our loan or build a boathouse/tractor house/woodshop for my husband. <P>I am really excited. It is really a good deal, not only because of the location, but because of the deal my husband made - and I know we'll have about 25K equity after the first coat of paint!! <P>I'm very very thrilled. So I won't be pressured to pack up, clean, fix up, etc. in one weekend, so that is good too.<P>Sending you cyber energy for your upcoming move..<BR>TNT
