Time is flying

We have had a wind of a life since we sold our house last april. We moved into my mom's and immediately enjoyed life not owning a house for a while and looked forward to spending more time with my mother. We took an over seas trip in August and in November we found a house that needed some cosmetic work, so we got it for a good price. We were happy because we could easily afford it and also make it our own style. We planned to tear off wall paper and paint. Tear out carpet and get some nice wood flooring and enjoy the great outdoors on our new 4 acres. BUT we found mold behind the first wallpapered wall as soon as we started to tear it off. We didn't plan to move our belongings in until after the remodel, so that part was great!

BUT It took 2 months to figure out what our rights were and how we were going to afford to remediate the condition of this home. Long story short without any exaggeration GOD showed up at every turn, need or question. We have now went thru a full tear out and are almost ready to put down the wood floors and then the kitchen cabinets. I wish I had the time to detail all of "GODS MIRACLE MOVES" that have taken place during this time when we felt abandonment, stress, strain, not only financially, but with all the questions and how to proceed with any litigation against our Home inspectors.

IN the end we can see that our money and time has been an investment that can provide an even greater return. Per Our realtor our location property values have gone up and since our house qualifies as a new house we can ask for top dollar. I don't know if we plan to pull our money out or not and recoup that large amount it has taken to get this house in shape to live in. But it is a thought!

The sad thing is that I have had to drive an hour each way thru the week to be with the workers at the house since we can't live in there yet. That has caused me to have to leave Hope with my mom, spend a lot of money for gas and put alot of un-needed mileage on a car the we need to last for a while.

BUT in about 3 weeks now we should be able to move in. I am not sure I want to. I think it is because the DRAMA has been at such a magnitude that I just want to escape to higher ground even though I have a NEW house that I got to design. It's nice that Chanan will have the final say on all of this. IT is a beautiful place and I am looking forward to feeling a move in calling from my heart. I have not had that for years during the time we lived in our last house which was a condo. I also can't make myself type the word, I hated that whole deal so much!

My dear sweet Hope, soon we will have our own schedule and you will have mommy back full time. We will have our play dates, library days, garden days everyday and so much more fun. I AM READY TO HAVE A STEADY DAILY PACE instead of a race to figure out how to FIX broken things.

I miss just being your mommy and having all those kinds of things to warm my heart. My heart breaks every morning I have to leave. BUT I am so grateful for Grandma's sacrifice everyday to put her life aside to take care of you all day long. I know that you are lovingly cared for and that helps my day go a little bit better. Soon and very soon my little sweet gift....we will be playing in the dirt and planting our own food. Learning about homesteading and living off of the land. Feeding chickens and milking goats as well as many many more fun things....SO get ready were soon moving into our new home my LOVE Girl!
