progress

But progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved and prune practices that ought to be...prohibited!

This is the quote that popped into my head as I am about to start my blog. I have attempted many a times to sit down and blog the past 2 months. But there has been little or no time. Or if I have started i decided it was better that i not write in that state of mind.
We are moving forward. In a slow and stressful pace but we are getting some where. Last month Caspian went in for a blood test and his lead levels went up. There is little we can do in our apartment to help. We do what we can. So our house hunt was kicked up a knotch or two. For the past month and half we have been working on all the home buying aspects. looking for loans and homes. Deciding on what area , what schools we want Caspian to go to. How far we would be away from the things and places we go to know. My parents came to visit the past weekend and went house hunting with us. It was a fun and stressful weekend. Discussing the pros and cons to some of these houses we liked.

I spent the last week talking with loan places and dealing with trying to obtain one. It was so stressful and discouraging at times. I didn't even nap like normal. I was so flustrated and ready for the week to be over when a little light at the end of the tunnel came. If things go in an uphill manner we should be getting to a point where we could have a house by the end of next month.

I thank everyone who has been praying for us, and those who have put up with me during this stressful time. I never thought that I would hate house hunting. I've gotten to the point i can't even turn on my favorite channel.... HGTV.... Its been far more of and ordeal than it ever needed to be but I know in the end that I will be happy that we have our own home, and we can call it our own.
