And the people are paying cash!!! So that means we are closing escrow asap.
We've found a nice house to rent. It has a huge backyard. We are so excited. The boys have so many plans for back there. Kyle wants to have a big campover in the summer. Sounds like fun to me.
I can't believe how overwhelmingly stressful this process is. We have to put a $3500.00 deposit (1st, last and $1000.00 deposit) today which has totally wiped out our savings. If something happens and this deal falls through we are in big trouble.
I was telling this to one of my good friends and she told me of a quote that is just perfect: Trust God and do what's next. The house sold, I'm trusting God and doing what's next. I'm not going to "what if" myself into another anxiety attack. KWIM?
So we are being super thrifty these next few weeks. I'm challenging myself to eat only from our pantry. So far, so good. I have $50.00 cash in my wallet from selling some books to the used bookstore. I'm budgeting that for food the next two weeks. Milk, fruit, bread. This will get us through with the other things we already have.
Prayers would be great. I'm really trying to :juggle: between work, school and home. I've just realized I haven't had a break since last August. I'm doing alright but I can feel the tension building. I had a massage earlier this week, that helped. I'll be glad for spring, sun, warm weather.
Thanks if you've read this far. Have a great day.
