Surprise Day

Today was really fun because I got to take my beautiful sister in law out to lunch... and then stall with shopping... (always fun) and then bring her back to a surprise baby shower!!! Yes, the surprise was successful... of course until we pulled up to all the cars and my (incredibly smart) sister says, "is this a baby shower?" ... what are you supposed to say to that? ME: "Ummmm.... maybe?" LOL. Michael told me I did a terrible job hiding it. But HOW DO YOU HIDE a bunch of cars!? Anyway, I'm glad she had fun and got to spend some time with all these people rooting for her and get some adorable baby stuff too! It was fun.

You know, I always wanted a sister... I used to write letters to God, to Santa, and to my Mom, asking for one--just to make sure I had my bases covered. :) Then when I got a little brother (hello?? did they all miss the memo?? I said GIRRRRLLL...) I used to dress him up as a girl just for pretend-sister fun. It was pathetic. But now that I have Laura, I think I finally better go thank God for the sister I've always wanted! I love her so much!
I'm so obsessed with her little girl- my goddaughter Lucy and I'm so excited to meet her new baby girl! Not to mention I have my OWN baby girl- it's amazing!!! God is good, all the time.


No news on the house... yet. Just that Michael and I have done a lot of thinking and talking and running numbers and well... we're thinking if we get this house (which at this point is realistically highly unlikely)... it will DEFINITELY be a huge amazing miracle and a gift from God dropped into our laps- "Here ya go! Have a Happy Life." But hey, God is awesome like that... so who knows? We're going to make a way-too-low-and-probably-will-not-make-a-difference offer tomorrow or very soon. If we hear anything back (which I doubt...) i'll let you know. But for now we'll keep looking and just keep praying... God will show us what is right. (Which really FELT like this house... but I just don't know...) I keep praying for His guidance and an increase in faith and trust! All this house stuff is wearing my energy thin.

But,...
God is good. All the time.
