Fashion Police

So Rachel served as my What Not to Wear coach. My clothes have really started to frustrate me with not knowing what to wear and thinking everything looks dumb. So, we went through every piece of clothing I had and put over half of what I wear in the Goodwill pile. Now I guess I just need to go shopping!

Happy Birthday Hez!

His birthday started rough with Uriah being sick, had french toast for breakfast, house hunting, ENT appointment with Uriah, grilled chicken for dinner, went for a second look at a house and now making an offer. Sounds like an eventful birthday to me!

Sick kiddo

Uriah was up all night last night throwing up and so Hez didn't have a very good night. He stayed home from school today. Hez and Rachel went house hunting and then took Uriah to an ENT appointment.

Making an offer

I am sitting on the couch right now as Hez and Rachel are working up an offer with their realtor. I went over tonight with them to see the house along with Rachel's dad. It is really cute. Lots of neat molding and it is a nice size space. I think it would be a good house for them. The big deal is that it is being sold for 169 and they want to offer a lot less. Don't know if they are going to come to a meeting place or not. Hope so!

Double Rainbow!

Yesterday we had two separate occasions to see a double rainbow out our front window. It was really neat and the kids loved it... especially Uriah. Hoping that was the last rain for a couple days. Here is a photo of one of them: http://yfrog.com/gz44muopj.

A Light Day for Me

Today I had an OB appointment and a meeting with Cathy so Rachel watched the boys for me for a while today. That was nice to have some alone and free time. I am going to do that for her tomorrow. Hopefully she can get some recharge time because I know that the late nights and the home search has taken a lot out of her.

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!"
