Nah! This will be short and sweet and after all the dust settles I'll give more updates. Long story short, we put our house on the market three weeks ago or so, got an offer last weekend (a week ago now) and accepted it. The inspection is today - trying to just surrender it to God. We found a house, made an offer, almost signed a contract, then learned it has aluminum wiring (very bad apparently), walked away from house, and don't have one on the horizon. Old me would be freaked out - new me abiding in the Holy Spirit knows God has a plan. I would love to not have to move to an apartment temporarily, but if we do, we will. I really want the sale of our house to go through because we just love the young couple, and selling our first house has been quite emotional for me. We put a lot into it, and I know they will love it so we are praying that all goes well for the next couple of days. Anyway, the last few weeks have been crazy busy, but I wanted to pop in to give a little update :) Keep you posted!
I read something a while back that sort of spurred me into thinking I needed to do this whole retail detox thing. I'm just going to get it out there - it has been way hard for me and I'm super embarrassed and disappointed by that. I did well for the first two weeks, and then I got into this buying and returning things habit because I felt bad after buying it. I told myself that I could still buy things, but only with extra money I earned from ebay. That worked for a while too, but then I caved to the Lands' End Canvas sale last weekend. I bought three tees, a skirt, and a cardigan. I think that all but maybe one tee will be going back and hopefully I can stop this extra shopping.
