The Cutest Little Booties

I just ordered the pattern for these cute little booties, don't you think they would make an adorable baby gift?

Oh, and I'm not pregnant!!!

House Update #2

We counter offered, and they rejected our offer. Our realtor talked to their realtor who said that the reality of becoming a homeowner set in and they just weren't ready for it. They had to have a co-signer on the loan and they are both still in college. Michael and I are fine with that, it was a little soon for us anyway. We still don't know where we are going to move.

House Update

After 5 days of showing our house, we got an offer. It wasn't as high as we wanted, so we submitted a counter offer today. We will see what comes of it!

Gratitude

If you haven't heard, Houston is getting their power back. My parents got power just yesterday. My sister said she was freezing because of the AC, and it was so nice to see her room again.

A few days after the hurricane, most everyone was out of power. There were people working around the clock getting power back to everyone. My mom was driving past the high school and saw some workers that had come all the way from Florida. They were on their lunch break so they were all just standing around. She drove up to them and as she did, they all got a very annoyed look on their faces and started to grumble to each other. She rolled down her window and expressed how much she appreciated them coming all the way from Florida to help out. They looked at each other startled and replied a thank you and she drove off. It was obvious that these men had many people coming up to them asking them when their power would be back on, pleading their cases as to why they should be next to get power, and probably some complainers about how long it was taking to get power. From their response it was obvious that nobody thought to come up and thank them for their hard work, and for leaving their families to come to Houston to help.

What a great example of gratitude.

I challenge you to find someone that you don't normally say thank you to, and give them a heartfelt thank you.
