We had a nice weekend even though I wasn't feeling great. I think I am coming down with a cold, it started late last week and seems to just be sorta hanging on. Nothing bad, more of an annoyance than anything.
It was stunning here this weekend, the weather was gorgeous and pretty much perfect fall weather. Sunny, clear skies and crisp mornings with beautiful afternoons. The time change was (and always is) a little rough on me.
Yesterday we celebrated Nana's birthday, she will be 87 in a few days. It was nice to see the family and spend a day just enjoying being with each other and celebrating Nana.
I went to yoga yesterday morning, it was the first time with this particular instructor and I really enjoyed her class. It was tough, we did a lot of sun salutations and after a few together she let us go at our own pace. Near the end of the class, we were doing some gentle stretching and relaxing and the instructor said a lot of uplifting things. I think the one that rings true to me right now is the quote I have for today's entry. She also reminded us to check in with ourselves every couple of hours and see what kind of person we have been to others, where have our thoughts been and where do we want our thoughts to be for the next few hours. It was an excellent reminder that although you may have a bad moment, don't let it ruin your entire day.
Dealing with infertility and pregnancy loss can bring you down lower than you thought you'd ever go. Although I have many friends (online and a few IRL) that can relate I still feel so alone on this journey. I often feel depressed and worthless. I think what she said really was a blessing and reminder to me to continue to be compassionate towards others and it will lift me up.
So we also received some really exciting news yesterday. We were with my husbands family and I went to get my phone. I had a voicemail from the real estate companies phone number, instead of calling them back right away I listened to my voicemail. It was our agent and we had an offer on the house!!!! I motioned for Chris to come outside and told him (it was really loud in the house.) We called our agent back and got the details. We ended up discussing it and countering back. Our agent was on the road in between showings so we didn't expect to hear back from him last night at all. We left my inlaws house around 5pm. It was maybe 6pm or so and we were relaxing on the couch and he called. They accepted our counter offer! Closing will be within 45 days and they will get possession at closing.
I AM SO RELIEVED!!! I was so worried we were going to have to go through the holidays with two houses and two mortgages. I have been stressing so much about it and more so about not being able to truly celebrate the holidays because money was too tight.
Oh...if the papers are signed today, closing will be before or on 12/21/11.
Our new house closing should be around the 22nd of this month. We gave the current owners an additional 45 days after closing. Which, if you do the math.....we may be homeless for a few weeks. Because 45 days after closing brings us to 01/06/12.
We can stay with family for a few weeks, we'll deal but it'll definitely be hard right at the holidays but I think the worst part will be having to move twice...once wherever we go and then a few weeks later again. Hopefully this will be our last move for many, many years! : )
