God is amazing. We did not get the house we were trying so hard to get...BUT...yesterday I was with a realtor looking at houses and she looked at me and said "why dont you come look at my house!". At first I was a little confused. "Thank you, but I think we should keep looking at houses before the kids get too tired.".... she laughed. "NO... I am selling my house and I will bring the price down for you if you like it enough" ... We drove over to this beautiful neighborhood and stopped in front of a beautiful house built on the side of the hill. We had to go up 15 steps to the front door. I turned around to see the view and it took my breath away... you could see the entire town and beyond. The house is 3 stories.. the top is all the master bedroom and master bath (with a claw footed tub), the second floor is the main floor with the kitchen/living/dining room and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.. the bottom floor has the garage and two huge rooms to make into whatever you need. This house is fantastic... more then we could have ever asked for. Today we are talking to the bank and trying to get an offer ready for her.. If we get this house it will truly be a blessing.

Tonight is the finale. I am going thru stages of terrified and excited. I know my song, but they said we need to do some dancing... what?? How am I supposed to dance on a stage that only gives me 4 feet to move around on... and what kind of dancing? I still dont even have my clothes picked out...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccckkkkk. Plus they will be broadcasting us singing LIVE over the radio... can I get a 'take two?'...

I am going to do my run today to try and get my stomach settled a little! Ha! Then it is off to spend hours in my closet trying on clothes that dont fit. Ugh.

Tomorrow is friday... YEAH!! I am ready for a weekend with hubby...and I'm ready for all of this to be over!
