WOW I've been busy!!


Yes once again I have not kept up on my blog.  Shame on me!!  But I have a really good excuse; I've been busy.  Yes really I have been busy.   I've been working in the office w/my hubby, I've been watching movies at night w/my hubby, I've been enjoying the wonderful Oklahoma weather..yep you guessed it w/my hubby AND my daughters.  And, last but not least, I've been looking at homes and property trying to find us a place to live.

No luck yet...but like Chris and I said; "when we walk on the property we will just now this is it".  Although we've found more that we REALLY like that would work out perfect for our needs BUT....we can't get a mortgage since our home did not sell in Michigan.  We have to find a lease/option OR an owner carry.  When we first started looking down here no one did either but I've noticed that a lot of the homes I saw for sale at the first of year have dropped their prices AND the owners are considering lease/options or owner carry.

Looks like Oklahoma may be, finally, starting to feel what other states have been feeling for the past several years.  A decline in home sales. Although, if that is true, it is not really that bad down here.  There is a diverse industry down here from cattle to cars...so Oklahoma has not been touched by the "depression" that bad, which is a good thing.  But like any trend, it has to make it way thru each and every state, the slow housing trend is creeping it's way into the state.  That is a great thing for us, the home buyer.

Chris and I are just praying and know God has a plan for us.  We are going to see a "good ol' guy" at a local bank down here that gives loans.  A friend told us about him and said to stop in and have a chat with him and see what he can do...he really loves to help people out.  So we shall see.

The office is going good...I know Chris is feeling so much better having his whole family down here and I like being able to work with him and take the load of everything off of him so he can concentrate on what HE needs to be doing; building the business!

So today I've taken the morning "off".  Just put 2 loads in the dryer here at the RV park and am making myself a late breakfast.  Cassie will be here soon, after she gets done feeding and riding her horses, to pick me up and we will head into the office.

Life is good..it really is.  Is it easy, nope it sure isn't, but I am not going to complain.  Having a good time enjoying myself and my family.  Being in the RV is a good thing.  Makes you learn to appreciate life so much more.

Have a happy day everyone!!
