Waiting...

I am so exhausted this week. Chase has been cutting a tooth and has not been sleeping very well at all, so I have been in a fog. I have also suspected that in addition to the tooth, he might just be getting hungrier, and so I have tried offering him solid food again, which he has indeed consumed with a gusto not previously displayed. :-) Maybe that, as well as the pearly white of the new tooth at last gleaming just above his gum, will help improve our nights a little. Yesterday we had to get the house ready to show - a 5:00 showing, which is a the worst time for me (so hard to keep everything together all day), and made more difficult by the fact that I just wanted to get back to bed. :-) But we did it, and it seems the family who came really liked the house, and the realtor expects them to make an offer today. My heart skipped a beat when Dave called me and told me that, and it has done so every time the phone has rung today! In light of that, we have been searching almost frantically for houses to look at down there and have been on the phone on and off throughout the day. It would really help to get a realtor with more enthusiasm, though. When we were looking here, our realtor was so wonderful and treated us with as much respect and seriousness as if we didn't have the tiny budget we did, and with some creative thinking and diligent looking she found this house for us. Now we have a bigger budget, but the realtors we've talked to so far aren't very optimistic. I think it can be done, though, and while waiting for that fateful but long-awaited call for this house, I have been praying that God would lead us down the right paths to discover the right house for us - and that everything will fall into place once we find it.
