Daddyami

Daddyami is the new name for Miami via Aidan. Isn't that precious! Ian moved there and now A says, "Are we going to Daddyami?" Talk about Aidanisms to put a big smile on my face!

This past weekend, Ian took the kids and I stayed in Tampa to try to finish up the house for showings. The house is looking pretty good. There Are a couple of areas that could be better. But, we made a lot of progress. I will admit that I (like most people probably) thought it would sell the first weekend. It isn't a warm and fuzzy feeling worrying about this. I am doing my best to remember how perfect this house was for us and how I knew instantly that it was the one for our family. I know God has a plan and someone is meant to be here. Someone is meant to have Bonnie as their rock next door. Someone is meant to be blessed by all the money we invested in this home and the loss we are going to take. I know with complete certainty that God has a plan. Unfortunately, as often is the case, I don't like God's timing. The wait was the worst part of our journey to Ariana. I find myself stressing over this home the way I stressed over our dossier. "Is there anything else we can do?", "How long will this take?" "Jeez, I wish the phone would ring!". Sounds familiar! Back then my lack of patience was because I was so eager to be able to protect her. You know, when they are in your belly, you can take care of them from that moment on. Now, it is more about financial fear. A very real fear that has a strangle hold on Florida and California right now. I know that choices we make now, like what price the home at, and what to invest in updating, will effect the bottom line in the end.

I think it is time to head over to Mck Mamma's blog and get some perspective. Boy Oh Boy, I need to bring back Thankful Thursdays!!
