Times like now I question my sanity.  The kids and I left Little Rock at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.  After a 45 minute traffic delay in West Memphis and an hour stop for supper in Jackson, TN we arrived in Columbus at 3:30 a.m. I had been up for 22 hours, handed the kids over to Mike and went straight to bed. I woke up around 9:30 or so. I have been fortunate enough to have naps everyday. 

We looked at houses all morning, yesterday. I found one I really like. Mike found 2 he really likes.  Think they are the same? NO!! I have to admit, one of the 2 Mike likes is really cool.  The problem……It sits on N. Wood Lake, yes, a lake. 4 kids, under 10 and not allowed to have fences up…….MOMS, need I say more?  The back side of the house has 2 decks, up and down, kids leaning over, falling off and going splat.  Anyway, cool house, wrong timing. 

The one I like is in town but on a quiet street. Has a huge front yard and a long driveway.  No associations or anything so we could put a fence up if we wanted.  It has a pool and hot tub in the backyard.  We would have to put up another fence that locks directly around the pool. It is a very traditional 2 story house, functional and we can be there, long term.  It has 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, laundry room, hardwood floors in the living, dining, and a bedroom. (Pretty sure it is throughout and just covered by carpet.) Family room has a fireplace, there is a full unfinished basement.  It is a great house to host a small group and entertain. Ideal for some kind of ministry outreach.  It is one block south of Parkside Elementary and the community soccer fields, park, and People Trails. It is also within reasonable bike riding distance of Grandpa and Grandma’s new house.

Someone please buy our Little Rock house!!! Pray for our home to sell!
