Newest Events

So this past weekend was full of stuff.. for the most part. Friday night we went to see the new Harry Potter movie. I've seen and read all of the series, and Kim has come close to seeing all the movies, but hasn't read books 4-7, but she enjoyed it. The movie itself was great, but I was really upset by some of the major events that were not included. It will be interesting to see how the next movie unfolds.

Saturday was a major sleep in day and house looking with a realtor. We saw about 6 or 7 houses. Some that were good, others that were downright hideous and one that we fell in love with. As of this morning, the one that we fell in love with and could see living in for many MANY years, is now under contract and thus not available. Needless to say I'm trying my hardest to not fall to pieces. This has been the way it goes with us while we've been house hunting. We see something we like and then when we get ready to do something about it, it goes under contract and unavailable. It's hard to keep our hopes up, especially since we've had a tough time saving enough money, and now that we have the money and are ready to make offers, it's a huge dagger into every inch of my being. I woke up this morning and I knew today was going to be rough, but this just stinks.

All day yesterday I kept praying to God, that this house was what I wanted, and I knew it was something Kimberly wanted as well and that I trusted in Him to take care of it. I know God does things His own way, but it's hard to understand and feel good when He's ways and my desires to meet up. It's also very tough to keep your chin up in these circumstances, to keep trusting and praying, but it's one of those things that has kept me going for so long, and I will never give it up. God is still sooooo good!

Otherwise, things seem to be going well. I lost 1.5 pounds over the weekend without doing much, granted we did walk around quite a bit on Saturday. Training is still going well and I run quite a bit tomorrow, so I'll definitely need to get some good sleep tonight. Kim is doing well also, the news about the house definitely hurts and I can tell she really wanted that house, so I'm just trying all I can to be there for her.

Pregnancy wise we have a cumquat that is developing muscles and bones this week, so we got some extra ice cream at the grocery store. We have our next ppointment in a few weeks and by that time baby should be up to a peach. It's truly amazing to think about this process and how something so beautiful is happening inside my wife. It's moments like these, when you take the time to think about, that can really make life become so wonderful. Thanks all!
