Do you ever feel like God just gave you a huge hug right when you needed it?

I had just found out who the winner of Lysa’s contest was last week and I have to admit I was very excited for the sweet lady who won! Her entry was amazing. I was also a little bummed that I did not win the scholarship. Then at that exact time, God picked me up and gave me a huge hug. Literally? No, but let me share how.

I got an email from the BlogHer Network stating that my blog had been accepted and that they wanted to advertise on my blog! Talk about two extremely opposite emotions in my body all in the same ten minutes. I have been waiting for an email from them for a few months and it came! And not only did it come but it came at the perfect time. (I didn’t know if they wanted bargain blogs or not so I had no idea that they would accept me.) I was so excited you may have heard me squeeling from the my little town in Texas!

Go check out BlogHer over on the right sidebar over there! I really like them so far!

We have had a few shoppers tell us about this great company D.G.P.J, inc also called, The Silver Jewelry Club . I ordered some earrings from them and they are pretty neat for the price. They let you try their jewelry for free, you just pay shipping. (Thanks Heather!)

You can choose from one of four pieces until the timer goes off and they rotate in a new piece. I am warning you, it’s addicting to watch for the pieces to pop up!

The coolest part is that you can clean while you wait for the next piece (if they kids are napping, anyway)!

I can officially say God has given me my own fairytale. We found house #3 today and that is where this story begins…

We pulled down a private road. We saw the last house we were going to see this weekend. My heart started beating very fast because I knew that hubs would love the fact that this house had it’s own private road on it’s own private cul-de-sac. It was listed as only .24 acres. Most houses in this area have 1 acre or more and I knew hubs finds pride in owning his own land. But I knew that he would love that this house looked like it had 3 acres all to itself even though it didn’t. There was a town owned creek to the left and I remembered back to when I was a little girl and I searched for turtles in the creek behind our house. That creek would be a huge hit for the boys if we moved there for sure as well as the five wooded acres across the driveway.

As we got out of the car, it began snowing. We bundled up and went into the 1100 sq ft house. I already knew from the outside it might be the right one God had for us. The house was just listed yesterday and had it been listed one day later, we would not have been here to see it.

We went inside. It was updated and very cute. The kitchen, dining room and living room were open as all one room, which made it appear to be larger. The bedrooms rooms were huge. (It didn’t take much to get me excited about room size!) We went down into the basement and even though it was unfinished, it was another 1100 sq ft of storage and had lots of room to play and even had huge potential of being a third room in the future. The bedroom door even matched the wood color of my large rustic Texas dining room table, (which was one of the things I looked for, to see if my table would fit in the house or if we would have to sell it to live there. I know it’s silly, but I bought that table with the intentions of having my grandchildren eat at it one day!) We went outside and the snow was now peppering down.

It was a beautiful start from God to a possible new house! We then drove down the private street back to the road and then saw the one fourth a mile walk to the beautiful lake we would be members of if we bought the house. Our street had it’s own private access. Our two black labs would be in heaven if we walked to the lake and let them swim every day (when it was warm)!

So here’s the scoop. We threw out house #2. It’s out of the running. We now have house #1 and house #3. We are probably going to put an offer on house #3 but (even though the price is in our range, we need them to go down just a little bit for our budget) and if it does not work out, we will put an offer on house #1 . It’s all in God’s hands! It was a very eventful weekend and we are so excited! Snow pictures of house #3 are to come when we get home!
