Finally!

Well, it's been about a month since I've posted last...not a whole lot has happened but the stuff that has happened have been big.

First of all, today we will be closing on our house in Connecticut!!!  We are super excited about it and are ready to get out of this stinking hotel!!  Chuck's company has been gracious enough to extend our time in the hotel to Saturday (which is when our furniture will be delivered) that way we won't have to sleep on the floor for three nights :)  Time in the hotel has been a little frustrating but it has gone by a lot quicker than I thought it would originally.  The past few days have been filled with phone calls and faxes while we tried to get every last piece together for the closing today.  But it's finally all together and around 4:00pm today we will be homeowners!...again...

The house in Lafayette has been kind of a headache... As you may remember we had an offer after five days of originally putting it on the market and then the potential buyer got cold feet after the home inspection...  So we put it back on the market and two weeks later we had another offer...but it was contingent on her selling her current house.  Well, she ended up getting an offer and we set a closing day for our house at the beginning of July... but then, the offer on her house fell through.  So Chuck and I decided rather than letting her have first dibs and waiting until she got another offer, we would just drop her and put it back on the market...that way if she ended up getting another offer she could just put another on ours, but that hasn't happened yet.  So our house is back on the market, still getting showings but no bites yet.  I think our realtor is planning on having another open house some time soon so, hopefully, something will happen then.

And the final big thing that has happened this month is that we had our second miscarriage.  We had our first doctor appointment the week before we left Lafayette, when I was at 8 1/2 weeks, and everything looked fine.  Then I started to worry a little because about 4 days later I stopped "feeling" pregnant.  It wasn't until we had reached Connecticut and had been here for about four days that the whole miscarriage process began...and it lasted twenty days.  It was really hard for me at first but it quickly turned in to something that just really made me angry.  I wasn't angry at God, I was more angry that it was taking so long and that I was in so much pain.  We've had a lot of support through this whole thing, though.  There were a couple weeks where I think the front desk was getting tired of signing for packages for us.  Everything was very encouraging, just knowing that even though we were far away people were still thinking of us and praying for us.  I'm feeling a lot better now (besides the fact that I'm still stuck in the hotel).

And Chuck is doing well too.  He's enjoying his job and learning a lot everyday.  I think he's felt a little stressed lately with having to get everything together for closing.  But we're almost there!!  He's ready to get out of here too...we're just tired of having to look at each other all the time...we need some walls!!! :)

And Sugar's doing well too :)  I think she's ready to get out of the hotel as well because, lately, she has started faking having to go to the bathroom just so she can go outside...

And that's it for us!  Next post will probably be of painted rooms and new flooring :) Can't wait!!!
