So many changes.

Tom and Laura went to her graduation luncheon at the Broadmoor on Friday.  They both looked to nice.  She has prom this weekend.  My Laura is grown.  She is so beautiful and so smart.  I can't believe she is mine.  She has all of her paperwork in order for Capernray.  She really is leaving home in September.

Still no luck on the sale of our house.  It is REALLY getting me down, but God called us to this new adventure.  He will get us through it.  I am trying my best to be patient, but man is it tough.  We had an open house over the weekend.  Not one person came on Saturday, but we had five lookers on Sunday.  I know it only takes one, but I really wish they would come soon.  It is just as well as we are still considering what part of Charlotte to live in.  This is getting real too.  My position posted last Friday..  It makes me so sad.  I really wish I had a home in Charlotte to think about.  In time......

Not gonna get me down.

Still no action on our house.  This week, I found myself really getting depressed about the lack of showings. We can't buy a new house in North Carolina until we sell our house here in Colorado.  It feels like we are never going to sell.  

My string students performed for the last time at school this week.  I was in tears and so were they, as we all realized that the strings program will stop with my leaving.  It felt like I was leaving all of these things that I love and can't even see where I am going in North Carolina.  Having faith and not losing hope is hard I tell ya.

The hope is that the market will soon pick up with the new academy instructors getting their orders later this month.  Things will get better.  God has not brought us this far to not see us through to the end.  I miss my beloved.  I miss our family being together.

Faith

  We have had one showing in one week.  Others have had much, much more.  I got so bogged down in thinking that this house will never sell.  It will.  God is reminding me that I just need to be patient.  It's tough.

  I have been sick for over a week, with a bug I brought back from Charlotte.  I have felt better this weekend.  With that, I have tidied up the house once more.  I choose to think of this as a new start.  A new week.   I am no longer feeling sick.

  I am trying to not questions my faith and our decision to move.  Things will all work out, in the right time.

Patience

  We had two showings of the house this past week.  Both were duds as one thought the commute was too long and the other thought our bedrooms were too small.  Tom keeps reminding me that the "right" buyer will come along.  It sure is hard to wait for.

  I sent off my application for a North Carolina teaching license.  That made this whole move seem more real. We are working on the final touches to Laura's graduation announcements, so that is feeling real too.  Our family is changing in such big ways.

  The girls and I are doing fine, but we sure miss Tom.  I miss just talking to him about every day things, and knowing that he is there.  We talk many times per day, but it is not the same.

  My cold is better.  Still hanging on to an annoying cough.  I am hoping that I can rest and kick this bug once and for all.  We may get at least a snow delay tomorrow as we are to get 2-6 inches of snow tonight with 30 mph wind gusts.
