No go on the offer

The houses from yesterday are a no go. They decided they were too much work for the cost. The house is at the top of their budget and there was like $20,000 in renovations to be done so I think it was a good choice. I know this process is stressful on Rachel and I just hope that they find something soon for their sake and their nerves!

Tonight Rachel and I talked about any annoyances or frustrations we had with each other so far in living together. The only thing I shared was that I asked if she could verbally express thanks more often, like when I make lunches or dinner or watch the kids. I totally love to do that for them and serve them but the appreciation expressed really encourages me to keep it up. I felt way needy even saying that but I am glad it is out there because if I didn't it might have turned into resentment. After I told her she put up a really nice post on facebook:

"feeling so appreciative of Jenny Hunter for all she & her family are sacrificing for us. So blessed to have this opportunity to deepen our friendship. Hopefully, our actions will speak louder than this, but THANK YOU!"
