I'm starting to really love this blog!!

It's so funny but, I am really starting to love this blog. I've been checking it almost everyday. It's so nice to hear from family. Just the mudane day to day stuff, like my guest room is dirty. It's also nice to have the comments from everyone on my posts.

It can be a really good thing to see the incredible trauma that goes on day to day in strangers lives. Work can really give me some perspective sometimes. It can help me to realize how small the trials I am having really are. This to shall pass...We both have really good jobs. We are actually quite financially secure--we just can't afford a house. We are also both very healthy. MOST IMPORTANTLY WE HAVE EACH OTHER. If we don't get our earnest money back...it's just money (a lot of it though). Eventually we will find somewhere to live.

I must have made our fight seem really bad...it wasn't. I was more concerned about my reaction to it. Scott cooled down after a few hours and came and appologized for loosing his temper. What I can't get over is how insecure I can be. It really makes me feel crazy. Scott gives me no reason to doubt his love for me, but one argument and I feel like my world is going to fall apart. Maybe I'm a little sensitive right now with all the other stressors and my feeling of resposibilty for so many of our financial problems (the RV and the earnest money). It's really hard to feel responsible for something that has upset someone you love--like you drug them into it and they would be better of without you. (My insecurities talking--at least I recognize them)

Anyway back to work!!

I love this blog too! It's amazing how much more connected I feel to all of you, it's like I'm not so alone. I mean, I'm lucky enough to be in the same city as Steph and Sarah, but it's nice to feel like all of us are still a part of one another's lives, even those simple day-to-day things, like you said.

Thanks for sharing your positive outlook on how blessed you are, despite all the small things that have gone wrong (or haven't gone right). I know it's easy to get caught up in the bad, so it's nice to have those moments of clarity when you realize the good outweighs everything else. We are all so blessed!

I'm glad to hear things are okay. I was worried about you and how you were holding up (I am a natural born worrier). Isn't it fun "talking" to each other so much? I miss you and need to see all my sisters!

It's my understanding that if the house didn't pass its inspection (and thus couldn't get financed) you don't lose your earnest money. I don't know the details of it, but I thought that was why you didn't go through with it?
love you,
Mom
