Square One

Yep, that's where we are back to. I feel about like this cat right now. We were supposed to close on our new lots last Friday. Paperwork did not get done in time and it got delayed to this Friday. We have since found out that part of the lots are in a flood zone and we would either have to spend thousands of dollars bringing in dirt to try and bring the level of that part of property up or we would have to get flood insurance for thousands of dollars a year. No go. We took it as a sign that God just didn't think it was the thing for us to do. So, now we are back to the question of whether to build or just buy something with the idea of staying there for a few years until we are in a place -mentally-where we can be capable of deciding where we want to live forever. I'm not sure we are in a position to decide something like that, yet. We are just going to lay low for a while and talk about our options. We have to decide something soon, because we need to know by next January if we are going to keep the girls at private school for another year or not and will have to re-enroll. There is a waiting list at their school, so I don't want to lose their spots if we aren't going to be in a better school district by next August. But, January is a while away, so I think we can decide between now and then what direction we will want to go in. I am not really upset, but I am frustrated. I don't like not knowing what we will be doing- especially when it comes to where we are going to live. I'm used to moving, I just usually know where I'm going way before we go there. There really aren't any houses that jump out at us at the moment, but houses come on the market every day, so we will keep that option open. Well, we will figure it out. We just don't need to be making snap decisions, and that means we need to hand the control over to the only one who really knows what is best for us. My white flag is up and I am ready to just listen. Annelise doesn't care where we live as long as her room is pink and there is a pool somewhere she can go to. Emmaline could care less about any of it. So, at least they are being easy about the whole thing. :Sigh: Please pray for us! It would be nice if something just "fell in our lap" because we are so frazzled, it needs to be obvious! Well, I will be excited about wherever God leads. Just waiting to hear the exact location......
