Moving? Maybe...

So for a long time we have been looking for a place to move as our current residence is in foreclosure. These things happen when you have a landlord that stopped paying their mortgage the month you move in. Today we received finalization in the foreclosure proceedings that the property would be sold December 2nd. There were quite a few homes we were going to view today and one of them was in Deltona. It looked promising, but again they all do on the internet and then you see it in person and realize that pictures do not tell the whole story. So the home in Deltona is all that it seems and tomorrow Joe will be going to see the home with us (he was at Promise Keepers today). In other news love bug wants to start dance classes. I am hoping to get her enrolled in either dancing or gymnastics after we move. If all goes well with the house tomorrow we may be moving as early as the next few weeks or as late as the 1st of October. I am so excited about this house! I am just trying to not be so excited. If it is in God's will then it will happen and if not, we will find another home. There, I said it and hopefully it will sink in shortly.
I started a new job this week and I LOVE IT! It is back in the car industry and once you have been in the car industry you can never truly escape. The work is fast paced and you always have a ton of it to do. Crazy I know, but it's in my blood at this point. Seriously I think if you took a dna sample there would be little cars floating around with the genomes.
Love bug is still loving school and is also enjoying riding her bike now. She has gone through another growth spurt and I need to get her some new clothes. I just got her a new outfit and she decided to get into my nail polish the other night and try to paint her own nails. She got some polish on the new shirt and it is officially play clothes now. I might try to find a few new ones tomorrow if I can. Well it is time for the bed as church is tomorrow and the morning will be here quickly. Have a good night and pray for us to find a home!

School...Already?!

Last Friday the Gaylord Palms held a promotion for Friday the 13th (crazy huh) where the first 13 callers to call at 1:13pm would get a room for $13.00. My loco hubby heard about it on the news and called and was the 1st of the 13! So Friday night we stayed at the Gaylord Palms. It is gorgeous! There are tons of water features (it's a huge atrium with streams winding everywhere) and in the water love bug got to see huge coi as well as turtles and alligators. She had a blast! If that were not enough we went to the pool Saturday morning and they have several different pools-one specifically for families. The marine pool had an octopus slide as well as a little dry play area with a snail slide and the two splash pads. We had almost as much fun as love bug did and of course she didn't want to leave but we had to not only because of the check out but love bug had an appointment for her first hair cut. Don't freak out-it was only a trim. My wonderful hairdresser Trish trimmed about 3 inches off of love bug's hair and it looks much tamer now and nothing detracts from her gorgeous mane (biased much-yes I am). Then there was some school shopping and Wal-Mart made me very happy by having everything that we needed and enough cashier's on hand for a change.
So we had a very nice weekend and yet I am sitting here very sad. Our love bug starts preschool in the morning and while I am happy and excited for all that she will learn and the thrill of starting her education this means many other things. My love bug, my baby is growing up and growing up fast. I cherish every wonderful moment and have enjoyed all the stages of her growth, but it is still going to fast. Everyone says children grow up so quickly so enjoy every moment you can. I have done that and still, I need more time. She is my love bug, the little blessing we got to keep. I cannot have children easily and she is the only one we get-why can't I get more time??? My little one is indeed growing up to quickly, and that makes me sad. I am trying very hard to look at all the wonderful things to look forward to with this new chapter and I am happy for them, but at this moment I am feeling quite sad. Just wait until tomorrow morning-I will be a blubbering idiot.
That is all for now. I will post pictures of the new hair as soon as I can and if love bug's first day of school. Goodnight all!
