Homeless

Before I start my rant about our housing situation I have to start with many thank you's. If it were not for Nick/Stacey, Jared/Ali, Amy/TJ, my parents, and Adam's parents we would be homeless right now. In December we let our apartment go thinking we were going to move to Bismarck so while Adam took a welding class in Hazen we lived with my parents. A lot changed the end of December and in early Jan so we decided to come back to Minot. Anyone familiar with Minot knows that housing is tight and not easy to come by. We are currently working on purchasing a lot, Adam will build our basement, and we will move a modular on. Minot guarantee is taking so long that is taking much longer than anticipated. We are and will be for probably another two months. So we are living out of suitcases and bouncing around. It is taking a toll on our sanity. Adam and I have to stay focused on the end project or we will fall apart. We will be happy with it once it is all said and done but it so hard not having space of our own. We are constant guests, it is getting old. On the other hand I am very grateful for our friends, that we have options, that we are healthy, and many more things. Ever since losing the babies, every time I feel like being negative, I realize it is so not worth it. There are other people in this world that have a lot less than I do and I should be thankful for what I have and not focusing on what I do not have. Have a great weekend everyone and hopefully I will be telling you soon about closing on a lot, and construction :)

  2. Oh Ashley, sorry this time is so stressful for you. Sounds like everything you have been through has made you stronger. That is the blessing that comes after the heartache. Just concentrate on one day at a time, and making that day the best it can be. I will be praying that things will move along quickly for you. Love you! Deb J
