Hurray!!!! We got the house! Did you all hear me?!?!?
They accepted our offer! We are going to be together as a family again!
HURRAY!
So here are a few more pictures of the house :)
Enjoy! I know we will!


So I started this days ago and couldn't get pics to load I'm sorry people but I'm so tired I think I'm going to fall asleep on my hands. And I haven't even put away dinner yet... and I didn't even make it tonight!
Since I wrote last- I've gone crazy a few times Livvy got sick throwing up multiple times... I was by myself.
I got a loan for our new home.
I bashed my head... all by myself... and cut my forehead... (do you feel my pain Daddy?)
planted my front yard with flowers and bushes... myself. :) and then had them snowed on :(
Still trying to finish off my partylite stuff... taking longer than I thought.. my fault, my own, myself, my fault... sorry people
Spent the rest of the time dreaming about moving or sleeping... it's always a toss up :)
Anyway, I love ya and have a good night

Updates in the dark

Sorry there haven't been any new updates. Alex/Quintin is home this weekend and we are still working on the house purchase plan probably won't know Monday or Tuesday evening. So I'll let you all know later :)

I hadn't planned on this

Really I hadn't, I've come across so many wonderful and beautiful posts and tributes to President Hinckley our beloved Prophet that I really felt that mine was not necessary. :) As I read Sherry's post about our Prophet and her heart felt honest feelings. It really helped me express mine as I began responding to her. So I nixed the comment sorry Sher :) but here are my feelings too.

I know how you feel :)
Every post has expressed great love and admiration for our prophet and I echo that in every strain. I remember President Hinckley from conferences long before he became the prophet... not necessarily the words:) but I always loved listening to him :) We have to remember that one of the reasons he helped us so much is because he was our PROPHET, and he gave us the words that the Lord gave to him, and the Lord placed him here for us in this day to feed us and help us in our need. But we must also remember that the Lord will not abandon his people, He was not taken from us but taken back to the Lord and the Lord will provide for our heartache, and give us a prophet to lead us through the coming days of trial.
And thankfully we will always have President Gordon B. Hinckley's inspired words and guidance to each of us as reminders of his love and inspiration, compassion and strength. Thank you President Hinckley for so often feeding the very part of my soul that was in pain or struggling.

Yes people I was joking!

So yeah the $400,000 home is gorgeous but no I can not afford it!!! So I thought I'd post a picture of the house we're actually looking at :) We love it! It's not as big as the other one :) but it's bigger than our current one :) It's about 2800 sq ft and it's really a gorgeous home that has virtually everything we've been looking for! Amazing I know :)
It's just a picture of the front, I didn't bring my camera when we went through it, but it's got 4 bedrooms and a big bonus room upstairs that will probably become a combined little girls room :) laundry room, eat-in kitchen, Dining room, 3.5 bathrooms, Living room with a fireplace, a Family/media/play room, 2 decks
Ofcourse, It's not completely perfect, but it's pretty great.

OK so I knowit's a bad picture but I want this kitchen and it's only 400,000 If Manda's got one for 5 surely I can do 4 right... I'm looking for vain reassurance here people... where are ya? Oh and here's the front... it's a foreclosure, ya never know :)

So ... yeah.

Still here still trying to sell the house and still not quite successful :) But we are going to Arkansas anyway and going to look at houses so this should be interesting :)
I tried to take a little video of Layna singing A Child's Prayer the other day she sat down to clean up one of her many messes and just randomly started singing it with the cutest words and everything... of course made up :) but about half way through she figured out what I was doing and it became this huge performance with dancing and twirling around the living room, and then when she was done you couldn't hear a word of the song... which is what got me excited to begin with anyway :( Oh well.
She's still adorable.
So instead here's my 2 most recent videos one is Phoebe just being cute, She is quite the mothering type :)
and yes she did have a clip in her hair at one time! Just not at that moment :)
And the last is Layna singing for her daddy :)

OK people here's the whirlwind update.

ALEX GOT THE NEW JOB!
(yea cheer clap and move on)
:)
We found out right before Christmas... seriously like as we were driving out of Amarilo he was on the cell phone making the final negotiations. (Not fun keeping the girls quiet while in the car for that kind of a call :) ) So Christmas came was glorious and wonderful you saw my joy on either mom or Sarah's page :) and Christmas went, I got sick... I still have mucus and a small cough that just won't go away. Nasty I know. The girls are back in school :)
I got a new job!(yea cheer clap and move on) hehehehe
For the few of you who don't know Alex now Quintin and working in Bentonville Arkansas ( I'd have to check to even know the abbreviation for Arkansas... oh well) He started Jan 7th. He's working for Maurice Sporting Goods. I am know and Independent Consultant for PartyLite candles :) And I had my first succesful show last night!!! Yea! Quintin (hehe, it makes me laugh to call him that :) ) is enjoying his job and I am too :) I'm loving the candles and candle stuff!
Layna's birthday is monday we are going to the movies to see Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium Today as well as Monday so that all the girls will get a chance to see it... it's in the dollar theater right now :)
Ally has several sleepovers this weekend and Livvy and Phoebe are just fine and beautiful girls so that's it I just looked at my camera and realized I only have a few pictures from Christmas day and about nothing else so I might post some later if I get the chance...

... Oh and my favorite thing today is a clean show ready house as that is what I am striving for every moment of everyday right now so that I can sell this house and go hunt with Alex in Arkansas, so yes A Clean House that looks and smells gorgeous! So when someone walks in they see simple beautiful decor that will allow anyone to see themselves living here... so they will want to live... in the midst of the pledged furniture, vacuumed carpet, and cloroxed counters :) (and now reading in your best nasally sales girl voice...) And of course the smell of our gorgeous Sun Kissed Cotton Reed Diffuser from PartyLite which if you would like to order one so your home can smell as wonderful as mine you can contact me at 555-partylite or visit my website at www.partylite.biz/hillarysperry :) hehe the web site's real the rest is a joke :) I love you all and hope you've had a wonderful new year so far and a great one to come and I'll be posting again soon I'm sure! :)
