Packing

Packing has officially begun at the Hughes house hold. Did I mention that I hate packing? We bought some boxes at U-Haul, and then Scott has brought a ton home from work. I would rather buy things for the house than buy boxes. I've gotten a lot packed because my Internet hasn't worked for 4 days. It's amazing how much it distracts me! Through all this packing I have been wondering why I felt it necessary to decorate for every holiday that exists. We're not talking just normal decorating. We're talking over the top even the guest bathroom goes from seashells to Christmas kind of decorating. I have been excited about putting all of them out in our new house though. I guess I love my decorations I just don't like packing them up and having to think about unpacking them and reorganizing. I'm wishing that I didn't have the way of thinking that if 1 is good, then like 3 or 4 are even better. I was packing up drawers in the kitchen and realized that I had 4 aprons. I told Scott and he said if all of our things didn't fit in the boxes he had already brought home that we had to get rid of it. I told him to quit being mean to me and bring some more boxes home tomorrow! He did. We're having a baby shower tomorrow for one of the girls in our CG. I volunteered to make the cake because I have been wanting to do a present cake for a long time. I made my own fondant this time and it was a mistake. It is the ugliest cake I have ever decorated, but I'm stuck with having to bring it. I had a lot of trouble with my chocolate fondant. It was too stretchy and it ripped after I put it on. I had to patch it up with more fondant and it looks so tacky. Oh well, what can you do. A girl came and looked at our house on Wednesday and our realtor said she wants to buy it but the only thing is the price. The problem is that behind our house the model home of our house is for sale and it is $15,000 cheaper. It is several years older and doesn't have all the fancy things we've added. We told our realtor what we could come down to and we will have to pay between$4,000 and $5,000 but that's money we would have had to pay for a mortgage payment if we didn't sell it. Pray that everything works out the way it's supposed to. These are kind of stressful times right now but our sermon last Sunday was on trust, and I completely trust God that everything will work out. We're hoping July might be the month we buy a house, sell a house and get pregnant. Our fingers are crossed!
