Butler!

Oh man. Butler almost did it. We went to some friends for Easter dinner so I missed most of the game but I came home and it was tied with very little time left. Then the game went into overtime. But CBS kept switching to the Davidson Georgetown game. I'm blaming CBS for Butler losing. Man I like watching that team play. Notre Dame lost too. Now who am I going to root for?

Stress

Oh man I'm trying not to be frustrated but yesterday I read through our bid on the house to see if there was a way I could get out of it. The rumor is that it could take longer than the 10 days that we were originally told. The reasoning is that they dropped the price last Wednesday or Thursday. Our bid went in last Tuesday. They might wait the 10 days from when the price dropped. I wanted out of the bid so I wouldn't have to wait any longer. By the way when we made the bid we were told the asking price was 98,000. Now that they've dropped the price it's listed at 98,375. Colossians 3:1,2 tell me to set my focus on what is above. Verse 5 tells me that if I obsess over what's here I'm committing idolatry. Great now I'm going to live inside of an idol. Ok so don't obsess and it's just a house again. Who cares. It's just a house. There's thousands of them. I just want to know which one I'm going to live in.

It's March Madness!

It's that time of year again. I'm pumped. I've made a bracket challenge for readers of my blog. It's free. Sign up and pick. Just click this link. The password is weaveswrites. Sign up. You don't have to know a bunch, it's just for fun. Oh and make sure you cheer for Butler.

Usually I'd be complaining about somebody that was left out, Arizona State, or how a team was seeded wrong. But I'm just glad there is a tournament, take that BCS. Now I need to plan my menu for Thursday... Got any ideas?

This walrus is great!

I don't often put these types of videos here but this one was great.

We have to live somewhere

Ok I put an offer on a house. I know it's very fast. I'm just as nervous as you are about it. Ok, more nervous. We only looked at 9 houses. This one stood out far above the rest. I must have looked at 1000 online and this was one of my favorites right away. It has 4 bedrooms all decent sized and upstairs. It has nice sized living areas downstairs. It's on a busy road and has a small yard but is a newer house and is in the right price range. I'll let you know what happens and put some pictures up later.

Just when I thought I saw the top

We just paid the last of my student loans. We've paid off our car. We're getting closer on Steph's student loans. Just when all of this was starting to look good, we're going to buy a house. I know that's a good thing but... How great would it be to have no debt? We'll keep working towards that day.

Chippewa Hills Baptist Church

Where do I begin? I love this place. I love these people. But when God calls, I go. I really believe God has called so we head to Kokomo. But more about that later. We had some good times here. Great fishing trips, good times golfing, incredible times with the youth group. I could go on forever. I cried like a little girl as I read my letter of resignation. We'll miss these people. Thank God we get to spend eternity with them. I'll be telling them about the blog so you may see some of them around.
