One step forward, two steps back

Well, blogger fans, we here in the Kelly household have a challenging couple of weeks. We have been sick, had major work stress, gotten a few nasty boo-boos, had trouble sleeping, our jayhawks lost and, most disappointing of all, we have decided to withdraw our bid on the house. Wade went to a very thorough inspection this weekend and we found some structural problems that we are just not willing to take on. So, we are back on the house hunt and, on a positive note, have already found several places that just hit the market for us to check out. We know the right house for our family is out there and we are excited to find a little spot to call our own. But, it is hard to get too upset about it with the breeze blowing in my window and the smell of the neighbors magnolia tree in the air. This morning a small yellow butterfly kept Henry and I company on our walk. The butterfly even rested on the tray of Henry's stroller when we stopped at a stoplight.
I have an exam this week that I have not put very much time into studying for, so the stress level in the house is going to be up for a few more days, but we are on the brink of a new month and a fresh start. It's Spring! With all the flowers blooming and the amazing weather and Wade's birthday coming up, there is no way around it, April is going to be a great month for us. We hope there are sweet breezes and sunshine at your little spot too. -L

It is good you found the troubles before you were moved in!
You will find the perfect house at the perfect time!
Blessing for exams!
May you have a sweet April.
Yellow butterfly! I bet it was a Yelloe Sulpher, glad to know they are awake. I have not seen any yet.
I will keep an eye out.
Love,
Aunt Sherry

My sister and brotherinlaw are loking to sell a house in the coming months. They obviously need to find a new house first, but it is a nice place.
