so I can finally say it...I got the house!!!

I am so excited, relieved, overwhelmed!!!

I have been thinking about how things have played out the past couple of months. I had a therapy appointment today and realized so many things during that session. I am blessed. I have so many things to be thankful for. Yes, I am mourning the loss of my 17 year relationship and everything that goes along with it. But I am also proud of my strength and focus. I knew I had to take care of myself to be able to take care of the girls. I am ready to find myself again - I have missed "me".

So back to how things have happened...I have met and become close to some amazing friends, many from DAM (local mom's message board). From that board have come many opportunities and resources and ideas...including the latest: a simple post about a house for sale in Carrollton!
I knew the name, although she didn't post much. But when I met her, I felt like we had known each other for a long time. And when I walked in that house, I just knew it was meant to be ours.

I can't wait for playdates with the kids, dinners with friends and bubble baths when I have some time to myself! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers...thank you for the support...thank you for being my friends ~ I am blessed :)
