Dude...take your dog

The house we are moving into is in the process of a few things.

  1. Finishing up the work on the foundation (80 year old houses need a little help)
  2. New paint on the shutters
  3. New dry wall on 2 or 3 walls
Sounds exciting right? I know! I'm excited!! 

The problem: Current tenant. Due to circumstances I can't share because it's obviously his privacy, he is supposed to be vacating the property. However, he continues to avoid the owner of the house and WILL NOT remove his property. He has promised several times he is moving his stuff out. The owner of the house is older, she has been trying to get him to cooperate. I feel sorry for her. So we shall see. He left his poor dog there for 4 days by itself. The proper authorities were called and he picked the dog before it was taken from him. Not sure if thats good or not? It was a beautiful black lab.  Legally there is something she could do. But if you have ever dealt with legalities you know this is not a fast process. And since our D-Day is May 31st...it's cutting close. 

The GOOD NEWS: The contractors say that they work should be done Friday and if the current tenant will let the owner know he is not returning we can go in there and CLEAN and PAINT! Yay! Which I'm excited about! So fingers crossed, hands together praying, and whatever other things people do - hoping this  "dude" gets moving :)


Josh and I have decided how to honor our baby. When the time is right we will share. But there is just so much going on right now. We definitely feel a little more peace now that we decided how to honor our baby. I do want to express my thanks again for the prayer and to the ones who have wrote me. Not many. But the ones who have I apprietiate. Knowing people care and recognize our grief means a great deal to us both. 

Until tomorrow... 

Happy Blogging!

    So you finally get to move in!! Shouldn't take long to paint and clean if we all put our work clothes on.
    Glad you and Josh decided to pick something to honor your baby. Sometimes it gives closure or a way to remember. Maybe never any closure I guess just acceptance that our Lord knows best and He is the healer of all broken hearts. When Kristi and Brian decided on giving teddy bears to the hospital for the mothers that lost a child, I think it helped them heal. Not forget, just heal. Giving is always a good idea and that you helped someone else get through a tough time.
    You and Josh are loved by all the family. I do pray for God to give you the desires of your heart and bless you more than you could ever imagine. Big kiss, grams

One year ago today my life changed

Image
One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
