We sold the house!!!! I am so excited! I was really thinking we were going to be here for another year. I am really grateful for all the prayers from my friends and family. I really want to get to the country and to a good private school. I am going "house shopping" today with my realtor, John. That should be a lot of fun...I just hope I find something!! I have about a month to get closed on somehting new!! I'm glad that all of this will take place BEFORE school starts!!

Now on to the MOST IMPORTANT news of today... TODAY IS JODY'S BIRTHDAY!!! He is SIX!!! He has been counting down the days now for quite some time. We are going to have to do some fun stuff for him today!

The House is Back on the Market!!

After two days of not having to keep the house perfect, and being able to breathe, the house has been relisted!! Again, I must keep things in perfect order, bathrooms wiped down daily and be ready at a moments notice to clean up and get out for showings. I am praying for a miracle that my house will sell. I will only try until school starts, then we will try again next year!! What a crummy housing market!!!

For anyone that may be interested, I read that there will be a "Tea Party" parade on Sat. July 4 at 9am beginning at Swift Creek Middle school, then ending at Sunday Park in Brandermill. All info is on their website: www.richmondteaparty.com

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! I will use it as a day to educate my kids about the real meaning behind the holiday, and not just that it's a night to see fireworks!!!
