A bit about everything...

First I'll start with the house.... The people you have bought our place had a home inspection done on Saturday. We didn't hear back until Sunday just as we were walking into church. Our realtor called and said that the other Realtor had just called him to advise that both bathrooms were filled with mold and needed to be completely gutted and redone. She had apparently yelled at him for 7 minutes about how horrible it was that we were trying to sell something that was a health hazard...blah blah blah. Anyways, I tried really hard not to let it take away from my worship time and I did pretty well. Chris on the other hand was a mess. We rushed home after church to read the report that she had emailed. It was crazy. The report simply stated "potential signs of mold, however no mold was detected or looked for". WHAT?!! you want us to replace both bathrooms completly? I think not! Anyways, Chris took out a panel in our crawl space which allowed him to see into the basement by the tub (between the walls) and there was NOTHING. We took off both toilets and lifted up the lino...NOTHING! So, we told them to "take it or leave it" but we arent doing anything. If there was mold, we'd be MORE than happy to take care of it. I don't want to sell something harmful, nor continue to live in it for another 6 weeks but really, there is not a sign of it! Other than stained lino that was like that when we moved in 5 years ago. Which is a stain from the glue that the developer used. We will see what happens. They have until Thursday to decide. If they say okay, we move forward, if they say no, then we slap it back up on the market.

We had Raya's follow up appt for her blood work yesterday. I was feeling nervous but at peace at the same time. I knew that whatever the Dr had to say didn't change anything, and if it did, it would be for the better because we could just "face it straight on and deal with it". The more I know about her, the better I can parent her and guide her and encourage her. We didn't find out much except for that she definately has 'something'. Her CK enzyme level is REALLY high. Normal would be between 0-170 and hers is 710. So, now we are waiting on the neurology clinic again.

Church.....(sigh), I love our church. Not the building, the people. It's awesome. I can learn, serve, encourage, cry, laugh, sing, build relationships, worship...... All in the same place! Over the past couple of months I've developed a friendship with someone that I've been wanting to get to know since we started there. I've had a 'gap' in my 'friend portfolio' (haha) and she fills it. She is seriously one of the most amazing women I've ever met. Kind of like my Grandpa is the most amazing man I've ever met. And it's funny, because she's starting to fill the void that has been in my life since my Grandpa passed away. She faithfully prays for me and my family, she encourages me, she tells me great stories from when she was young, she reminds me that the power of prayer is our biggest tool in daily living, she gives me great hugs, she adores me for who I am and I get to listen as she talks about the days when she was a young mom trying to guide and raise her children in this world, how her and her husband met, and started dating, and how she got out of the vehicle and slammed the door when "he tried to get fresh" with her after only a few dates.
