it all started with...

It all started with us thinking it was time to get out of the "renting world" and start the home buying process. Soon after we found the house we thought would be a perfect starter home. Over the past 6 months, we have had several small/ moderate sized projects to better suit this house for us. It started with that...However, we now have a much bigger issue on our hands....WATER! it seems to be everywhere...in the walls, in the carpet....ughh! I wish we would have known this 6 months ago BEFORE we bought the house :(

It seems like once we think we have figured out what the source is or the locations of the water damage, we find more and more! The stress of all this has been a bit too much for this pregnant lady to handle. Once we find the exact sources of where the water is coming from we can move on to the plan of knocking down walls/ killing mold/ and re-doing the walls. hmm....  :/

I find myself constantly wishing we would have made a different decision. What if we would have just been patient and kept renting for another year (or two)...or what if we would have just gotten a new townhouse? Life would have been easier then right? or...why does it seem like everyone else's house does not have big & expensive problems (especially so soon). The grass always looks greener on the other side. And we cannot turn back now!

The stress+ fear+ sadness of all this has led me to TRY and remind myself that we will be taken care of...some way, some how... God is going to keep us in his arms and carry us through this tough time. Its hard to believe at times, but that is where my faith needs to step it up.

Hopefully all of these water/home issues get fixed in enough time to prepare for baby's arrival. ;/
