Silver Lining

Its been a crazy few weeks.  Cleaning out the old house, Jasmine starting an amazing program, Changes, Funeral, Hair Ball, etc...

So, our old house will most likely have a new owner as of march 11.  We will have 90 days to vacate the property after that, but we are trying to get it done asap. We just want to be done with it completely.  We were there for quite a while last week, and it was rough. First of all, it was FREEZING in there. When we moved, we had everything shut off, so there is no electricity, gas, or water.  It was probably a good 10 degrees colder in the house than it was outside. So I opened up all of the curtains and blinds so I could have some light. I cant explain it, but everytime I go into the house now, I get overwhelmed and sad. There is just bad energy there. as soon as I walk out of there, I feel 100x better.  All I can think of when Im in there, is everything we went through in the 5 years we lived there. The black mold taking over the back room, and having to basically rebuild it, Finding out about Jasmine's abuse, and going through everything that entailed. Car accident. All of my health problems and hospitalizations. Constant stress and worry about money.  We werent 'living' there, we were merely surviving.  So I am glad to be moving on from that, and leaving alot of that there.  But at the same time, I love that house, and what it represents. That was our first home. We truly became a family there. And we learned what true love really is there.  Anyone of the things we have dealt with could have torn our family apart, but we have made it through all of it, stronger than ever.  I feel that I am walking away from that chapter of our life, having learned so many important life lessens.

Jasmine was accepted into this amazing program, at Silver Buckle Ranch and you can read all about it on my over blog http://www.lilmissjasmine.blogspot.com  we are so excited for her!

We are going through alot of changes in this house, and they are all for the better.  I feel like this might be our best year yet. I have a much more positive outlook on everything, and I can see the 'silver lining'.

Saturday was busy, busy, busy! I had to get Jasmine ready for the ranch, went to work until 2, then went to sing at Bills funeral, then we had the Hair Ball 2011 at Main Event for Brett's birthday. It was an amazing evening.

Bryan and I are going away to the beach for our anniversary at the end of the month, and I am so looking forward to it.  It will be so nice to just relax, and enjoy eachothers company.
