Be Careful What You Wish For

Famous last words if I do say so myself! If you are a faithful reader of my blog, you know that it's no secret that we would move from FC given the opportunity. Well, that opportunity presented itself in the form of an offer on our fabulous house Tuesday afternoon. This literally threw the Davisfam into a whirling dirvish tailspin! I mini-freaked and Blakely totally freaked. Anthony is male so he was in total control. yeah, right. We immediately start looking at homes in Conway. Conway would be an easier move but both of us really, really like Hot Springs and would love to call it home one day. Soooo, we also start looking at more realty in Hot Springs. Our heads are literally spinning and our nerves are shot. We are a quite vocal family so there were some heated convos. ;)


We sleep on it and truly have no idea what to do. I go with the repeat prayer of God show me a way over and over and over. Not original nor creative but I've found that's soooo not necessary with the Big Guy. Of course, the 3 biggies of snafus in this move are:


1. The timing: could it be any worse? yeah, probably but not likely. it's one week before most schools start. It would be uber difficult to acclimate Blake into a new school environment on this insane time frame.


2. The commute for AD. This could be done but not without extreme difficulty for me. It would literally leave me to myself (which would be OK but) not my preference.


3. My graduate degree is kaput for now. I cannot commute from Conway nor Hot Springs to ASU. Not and do everything needed. Too hard on me and Blakely. And deadlines are well past for fall admission to UCA.



So, then we have an epiphany which will sound nuts to most but actually would work. We would move 10 miles to the west to the farm in Palestine. Build a hangar home which is way cool. This could work! Blake and I get pumped about it. It was Ad's idea so I'm thinking okay..we sell the house live with relatives for 2-6 weeks, Blakes is still at Lee, AD no commute, and I can continue grad school. Sounds perfect, huh? Then we put pencil to paper and figure costs. It's a squeaker. It could be done but not worth the move to get it done. Soooooo, we are back to square one and the house is now no longer for sale. Now this will thrill some and disappoint others. I can honestly say that I'm a little disappointed and thrilled at the same time. Can we say bi-polar?!? LOL It's been a heckuva emotional rollercoaster of a week. Whew....this was a difficult blog entry to share.


Well, only God knows what the future holds . I am going to trust this is the right decision for right now. I am sure we will have momentary regrets because we are only human. But this too shall pass. I'm still loving my life!
