Hair Loss

A little update.....

The past few weeks have been SO stressful! I think I've lost a million strands of hair waiting to see what God has in store for us. Luckily, my hair's pretty thick, so I haven't noticed any bald spots... yet.

We've found someone to sublet our apartment; a cute couple who was so sweet and loved our little place. Which is great, because B hasn't exactly been gentle on the walls or the carpeting. But, they said it was the perfect place for them and they loved B's artwork. ;) Pending their approval from management, they'll be taking over our little home... which made me almost cry when I was talking to them about it (so emotional... I hope I get my "ladies days" soon so I can stop being such a sap). Even though it's been such a frustrating experience to live in the middle of a big city with a 2 year old with no real yard for him to run around in, this is the first place we've lived as a little family and it's bittersweet to think of leaving it.

I also talked to the landlord of the duplex we looked at (and fell in love with) in Edgerton, and he's offering it to another couple that got their application in before us... they must of filled out while they were there, because I filled it out and emailed it back to him within 2 hours of us seeing it. But, the duplex was perfect with the original hardwood floors throughout, a beautifully redone kitchen, a nice yard... the list goes on and on with it's complete perfectness, so we knew it was going to go fast.

We're looking at a new place in Lake Mills today... it's not in the country, but I looked at it with google satellite (which totally creeps me out because you can look at anyone's address and see their home) and it looks nice. It's on a corner lot with a decent sized yard... it definitely needs some yard work lovin', but luckily for me, the hubs is a landscaper by trade and I'm pretty sure I could get the work done for next to nothing. ;)

I feel good about this place, but, I felt good about the other place, too... so, I guess we'll see how God plays it all out. It's frustrating and exciting all at the same time to wait and see what God has in store for us... mostly frustrating because I'm SO not the type of person that's ok with not knowing what's going to happen. I definitely think He's using these past few weeks as a learning experience for me; so, I'm desperately trying to let Him mold and shape me into the woman He's obviously trying to make me in to.

The job posting I applied for at work closes on Tuesday, so I'll know more about the job next week probably (hopefully). But, I do work for the federal government and they aren't exactly known for their speedy response times. So, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't know anything for another couple of weeks, yet. Which, of course, means more hair loss...
