So I was going to share with you all today how we took our house off the market last week. I had been avoiding telling you because it felt a little reminiscent of when we miscarried twice. Im not comparing losing a house to losing a baby so please dont comment that. Im just saying it made me think of those feelings again. We had told EVERYONE we were pregnant, just like we told almost 100,000 of you we were selling our home. So then had to go back and re-tell everyone we werent pregnant anymore. Inevitably there were questions that we just didnt feel like answering and people saying stuff to make us feel better that didnt. Emotions are weird, arent they? So, yesterday I filmed you a little video about how we took our house off the market. I was licking my wounds a bit. We had a house picked out to buy that I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY wanted to live in. But then I heard about the sudden death of a young girl who worked at Restoration Emporium and how her best friend has to pick out her funeral outfit this week and I decided I needed a good dose of shut the heck up. I have no problems this week. I was going to complain about the 100+ showings we had and 5 contracts that did not go thru, but then I read the story of the 7 year old girl involved in a plane crash this weekend where her entire family was killed and she was the only survivor and I decided what on earth do I have to complain about??? msn/en-us/news/us/police-girl-7-survives-ky-plane-crash-police-id-4-dead/ar-BBht33v?ocid=ansnewsap11 I was going to complain about how the house we wanted to buy sold to someone else last week, but then I watched the movie Machine Gun Preacher last night and am just glad to have a roof over my head. Those people would give an appendage to have a home like we currently do. I have nothing to complain about. And so our big news is that our house is off the market. My dream house sold. I am disappointed, but in the big scheme of things...... I have NO PROBLEMS. In the words of my friend Chrysy.... I need to suck it up buttercup. Thank God for honest friends. Thank God for what I already have. Thank God for perspective. If you need a reality check or perspective check today, I encourage you to look at any of those pages I tagged. You will get a good dose of just shut the heck up too. And sometimes, that is exactly what we need. It was exactly what I needed. My problems are few. #keepingitreal xoxo, Jennifer
