Waiting...

Well the showing happened at 4:30pm today and they stayed about 25-30 minutes.  It was a young couple expecting a baby with friends already living in the neighborhood which seems to be a perfect fit for our home so I'm waiting on pins and needles to hear any sort of feedback.  I assume if they were in love with it I would have heard back already so that's a bummer.  I guess you can't expect the first people to be the ones to buy.  Sure would have been nice though!!!  I just want any sort of feedback... house too small? back yard half dead?  what were they thinking and is it anything I can fix?

I am proud of my family and how we all worked as a team to get it in perfect shape to show today!  The boys have been so incredible.  They want this new house as much as Scott and I do. We went to church this morning and Justin said "mom, I prayed for God to bring the right people to our house and buy it".  That was so sweet and little did he know I was praying for the same thing.  I also prayed for patience (as I do every week) because I know it's in HIS time that this will all work out.  I just hope I can keep up with it all.  The stress of keeping the home clean and "show ready", being a good wife and mom...working full time, and the normal routine of cooking, packing lunches, doing homework with the kids, bath, teeth, and spending enough quality time with the kids.  When the stress starts building I just ask God to lift up my worries, cares and concerns and almost instantly I feel this weight lifted off my shoulders and I know it will all be ok.

So...the waiting game begins.  The wait to hear whether this couple is interested or not, and the wait for another showing to be lined up preferably soon! Oh and I'm also waiting for my St. Joseph statue to arrive this week.  Maybe that's just what I need to sell my house!
