The First Day of School

Yesterday was Abby’s first day of school. In our district kindergarten starts the day after everyone else so today would have been Nathaniel’s first day of kindergarten. I woke up feeling terrible with the start of a migraine. I was expecting today to be hard, but it was worse than I was expecting so I decided to make it like a Nathaniel Day. 

Felicity wanted to go to the park so we walked / biked to our neighborhood park down the street and played for a while. Then went to Culver’s for lunch and frozen custard. 

After some fresh air and frozen custard I’m feeling much better.

It's all going to be ok

Our family has had a tough year.

Last summer we decided to move. We moved into our new house in September. We put our old house on the market in October, after we moved. It now May and it has still not sold.

It has been under contract 4 times. The first buyer backed out within a few days, the second after inspection because of water issues in the crawlspace. We took it off the market for a few months and had the water issue fixed. The third time we really thought it was going to sell, but after a contract extension the buyer was not able to get financing. We are now on contract number four and are supposed to close in a little over two weeks.

Through it all we have not been stressed or worried that it will sell or that we will not be able to pay our bills. We don't like that it has taken so long and don't really like having two house payments, but we are confident that God is going to take care of us and that it is all going to be ok. We have been through so much worse with Nathaniel's death. God has been with us through that and he will be with us now with this. We just need to wait. With hope.
