a home of our own. almost.

I try to embrace the very things that are most important to me. and laugh. taking the boys to the movies for the first time. shrugging off the discouragement and frustration of dirty laundry piling up. and careful not to voice grand expectation.

but the power of I wish, I hope and I dream is getting bigger and bigger every minute. and the waiting. aargh the waiting. it is eating me up inside.

tomorrow we will have a home of our own. or not.

I had a dream last night that my dad bought us a house, but to get to it you had to fly in a little rickty airplane for hours, it was very remote and isolated. Not my dream home, and the chances of my dad buying us a home are 0, so maybe it was just a sign that your going to get your home!! I'm so exctied for you, good luck.

I feel like for this topic, I say "I understand where you're coming from!"

It's so hard not to plan, not to see the future, not to hope and dream of breakfasts in the sunshine and kids running around -- sending good thoughts your way. Let us know as soon as you do if the deal comes through.

OH MY GOODNESS, my fingers are crossed for you! Wow--so much has been going on in your life of late--and in mine...we need to catch up. I loved, loved, loved reading about the magic of going to the movies with your boys. You always have this way of noticing the most precious little moments with them--in amongst the scramble of day to day stuff. You're such a great mom, Irene!

I hope the house becomes yours. I think there's nothing worse than that waiting period. I hear my girl calling me, she just woke up. Can't wait to hear!
