The house is back up for sale. Not too much is happening. I know Chris will be devastated, if once again, we are forced to stay here. Now let me tell you, that HERE is not a bad place to be!! We have the best neighbors in the world, and a great ward etc..etc... But knowing that you can't change your situation, or make your own decisions about where you want to be, and what you want to do, is a serious bummer in my book. And then you feel disappointed that there isn't at least one person out there who thinks your house is as great as you have for the past 6 years. And now it's even better, because we've spent so much money fixing it up! It's hard to be patient. And if we have to stay here, there will have to be some major sacrifices made, because this house is just way too small for our family now. So I'm really hoping we sell our house soon.
I think I NEED a vacation. Seriously. Before I was married, anytime I got down, or just needed a pick me up, I would go on vacation. Fly somewhere, or something. Well, things have changed, and I can't just take off. Though, it sounds wonderful :) Day to day life is a reality. I just wish it would get warm outside, so that the girls and I could spend some time outdoors, or that we could all go on one of our infamous camping trips soon! Very very soon! It's hard to live and have fun when you have to keep your house spotless for a showing any minute, that may or may not happen.
But on a positive note, Chris is doing really well at work. He has been promoted to Store Assistant Manager, and has received a small raise. He is always working to better our family, and he's the best thing that has ever happened to me! Life is good, yeah, great, everyday with Chris! His IS my Prince Charming!!
I just think Spring needs to come. Warmer weather, and time off work, etc... Summer can get here anytime! Let the sun and fun begin!!! I think I need a new project. Something to keep my mind off things! Maybe another sewing project :) More outings with my siblings and parents. I need to plan a trip. Something to look forward to. Well, I hope this wasn't too depressing, because really, we're doing well. Stay tuned.......

I love your title because that's what my blog is - thinking out loud. March is always the longest month for me. Just keep praying for the Lord's will. No matter what that is, it will be right.
Hang in there girl! We will get something on the books. We LOVE getting out. Maybe we should plan a date with the girls or something. We could get a condo somewhere. Life goes UP and Down that is for sure. Keep thinking about all those good things that are going on. That helps. Love you all!
Everyone feels it sometimes! Thats life. Being human. And those of us who need sunshine and warmth to feel joy, energy, happiness... winter is hard on us! Heavenly Father is aware of you. Put your life in his hands and everything will work out. I am praying for a big SOLD sign in your yard!! :)
I can feel your pain. I know every day what it is like to live in a small house with 3 very busy children. It get down every time I got to friend's houses that are huge and wish "why couldn't I have that?" Even my friend who just moved to England where houses are typically small had a huge house...I often feel like some people get all the luck...then have to remind myself of my blessings. There are people in my ward who have 2 kids in a tiny condo. And we own our house, so I shouldn't complain. But you do have a great outlook on life, though:) Spring will come, and maybe since your pregnancy is different, you'll have a boy:) Oh wait, hope that thought doesn't make you feel worse...boys really are great!!!
Wendi, A boy would be fun!! I'm kind of hoping :)
I have kind of felt the same way about blogging lately. This time of year is just kind of blah. The weather is so back and forth, and nothing really exciting is happening in life. Maybe plan a fun getaway for just one night or something. It doesn't require a plane, but it would be fun and much deserved!
