What was August? THE LONGEST MONTH OF MY LIFE! We are still patiently waiting for our home to close. Each step gets us closer, but the waiting game is putting more and more stress on our current situation here at my parents home. As they prepare for my brother's wedding we continue to tip toe around each other, hoping that we can make it through the weekend without saying or doing anything that will cause permanent damage. It is sort of like living in a mine field, never knowing when you are going to step in the wrong place and blow up.
The kids are starting to feel the stress too. My older girls have been crying at night, wondering if we are ever going to move like we promised we would. Danielle needs her own space. At 9 she is JUST like her mother, who enjoys at least a few quiets minutes to herself everyday. That's hard to do when you share an office turned into a bedroom with your 3 younger siblings. Hannah is our sensitive one and worries we won't have any place to live. Although we continue to reassure her, her fears still pop up when the lights go out at night.
Brent and I attended the temple Wednesday morning in hopes to find some peace in this whole situation. The bank has said they are selling the house to us. It's just when they feel like getting us the paper work. Brent and I aren't sleeping well either and the stress is starting to bring us down a bit. I've prayed for patience, compassion, love, etc daily to overcome this ordeal. My only saving grace is that if this EVER goes through we can live there till we die and I will never have to do this again.
