"No Good Deed Goes Unpunished"

So Says my friend Jen.

She was having a bad day so I went over to take her out and visit some; we had a really good time at michaels and then Sams club and the some coffee from Krispie Creme. I dropped her off at home and helped get the groceries and child in; we said our goodbyes and I got in the car. Once in the car I realized Jen had forgotten her drink so I hopped out and ran over to her door and Knocked. When I turned around it was to see my car WITH my baby in the back seat rolling out of her driveway. I started running after it and while doing so I am envisioning my baby and car rolling through her neighbors house. Instead it hit the mail truck parked in the neighbors driveway and that slowed it enough for me to get in and put it in park.

Apparently in my haste to jump out of the car I never took it out of reverse. I'm still not sure how that happened since the car typically starts moving the second you remove your foot from the brake-and since I didn't get hit by the door I guess it didn't start moving immediately.

So everyone is fine with the exception of my car and pocket book. And my patience since it took from about 1:15-3:00 for the whole thing to be said and done-don't count on the police to make it in time if some one is hurt-just go ahead and start making funeral arrangements.

My case should be available next week so I can pay the ticket I will surely get and turn it into my insurance company and get my car fixed.

By the way---want to see Gods providence? The mail truck stopped my car from going through the garage of a lady with a week and a half old baby.

Best Laid Plans

Charleston 2003

Cancun 2006

So our trip to Savannah-out Because DH thought his boss need atleast 3 years notice and since we only decided to go with two years it was not do able. Then The trip to the charleston/California/Keys-it was ever changing...That went to pot because the weather here was just too nice to leave-Um just and update it's like 60 degrees here and 80 in the Keys-just thought I would point that out. Anyway-No one takes my opinion so here I am on my couch blogging about my trips that are sadly not happening. Atleast there's Punta Cana and I'm the one with the tickets so no one is holding me back-plus I don't take DH on my yearly out of country trips.

HOW DO WE LOOK?

Today we put the sign for our house at 5815 River Ridge Ln, technically it will be listed on or about Friday.

We have been busting it trying to get the house ready; carpet cleanings, fence painting, pressure washing garage door repair painting, indoor painting, pulling weeds, putting in new plants-you get the picture.

It's partly sad-Andy and I have gone through so many changes in this house and seen God's hand at work in so many ways.

I got this house when I was 19. I chose it because it was within the price limit I was given, was close to my horse and close to college. andy and I had been dating for about a year and had been living together for about a year (save the back story for another time :>)

When we first moved it was from a one bedroom apartment; we had no table to eat at bedroom furniture for one room and a couch. Now we are bursting at the seems-DH says it's all my fault. 10 months after we moved in we were married and 6 weeks after that we were pregnant. A little more than 2 years after that we had two children and a little more furniture. A year after that we found out the Tyler had autism, and that we were about 5 minutes from the best special needs school in the county. Now we are a family of four with way too much furniture and needing a little space to run around so we are movin on up.

God's work if you didn't see it.

The house that has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths was WAY too much for me and the boy I was dating. The reasons we were here? I got married and knocked up so there went college and my horse. What did it turn into? Being 15 minutes from a fantastic church, 5 minutes from the best school and really great friends in neighborhoods all within 5 minutes.

I know God will guide us to the next house we need with, the things we know we need and the things we don't know about yet.
