So after much stress and anger this week between DH and me- my dad throws a whole new piece into this crazy world we are living in! After talking with the adoption agency again yesterday and getting some real numbers for costs, I knew DH would be for surely against adoption right now- minumum of $28,000!! Really?? That is like two rounds of IVF! $28,000 really not in our reach I know with a mortgage on our home, and another one on our 5 acres that we want to be building on. I was really disheartened yesterday going home. BUT, when I got home DH told me that my dad had called him to go look at a house with him. WHAT?!?! It is a good thing kind of what- not bad. There is a house my dad wants to buy that is going to be forclosed on next week if they don't get a buyer. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. I have seen pictures online of it this morning- nothing glamorous, but nothing bad- in the country on one acre. So my dad's idea is that he could buy the house, Jim and I could sell ours and then move into the new house and rent from him and my mom- rent being an amount to cover the cost of the property taxes and that's all. Why is my dad doing this? So that DH and I can start saving up money in order to start building our house. I suggested saving up money for IVF or adoption, but DH doesn't agree.
Is this a sign from GOD??? Really- because if my parents do this for us, I can't go to them and ask for $28,000 to adopt a baby. I am so excited about this possibility, and that fact that if it happens, it is going to happen quickly because the home owner is on a tight timeline right now as they face the forclosure of their home. If this all pans out there is not going to be any time right now to start the adoption process- because we will need to start getting the new house ready and our house ready to sell. I honestly feel like this might be God's mighty hand telling me to CHILL OUT!!! When I talked to DH more about my thoughts and feelings I was laughing. He said that he honestly needed to call my dad to just thank him for giving me something to smile about- because he hasn't seen me smile since last Friday. When I told him I think this might be God telling us be telling us to wait on the baby thing- he asked me if that meant I would stop crying every month, or every time someone gets a BFP- that made me laugh, because I know that isn't the case.
So I guess that was a lot of rambling...... My life and my plan may just be flipped upside down- but right now- if it happens, I know that it is a God thing- not a Sarah thing.

Sounds like your mom and dad are very wonderful people and know just how to make you smile.
I think dads have a way of doing that!!
Good Luck with everything

We don't know God's plan and it is so hard to be still and know that he is in control. Just remember, his plan is so much greater than any we could have created ourselves!

Offer is being put in this morning on the house. DH and I went through it last night and LOVED it!! So much better than the pictures looked even. The backyard is incredible, as it is almost on a full acre. Please pray that if this is God's will for us to move, our house sells quickly and everything goes smoothly.

Hey!
Ok let me tell you...God does have a plan for us! Let me be your example :) I was not even looking for a new job...went to work 1 night for overtime and my patient had to go to IR for a procedure. As I am getting on the elevator I see there is a job opening in IR. So as I am down there I am talking to some of the staff and ask them about the job. Sounded pretty good...dayshift 5 days a week...no weekends or holidays (unless I am on call).
So I applied...along with 30 other people! I made the top 10 cut and then I got the job! I could not believe it!
I even told the nurse manager interviewing me that I was doing IVF in oct and asked if she saw it as a problem...she said not at all.
The week I started my new job is the week I did IVF.! I had to take off 2 days that week and another day the following week! My first 2 weeks at my new job!
God had a plan for me! THere is NO WAY I could have worked midnights..working in that stressful job and being pregnant with twins!
He had this plan all along and I know he has a plan for you! This whole house came out of nowhere! Focus on the house right now and when Gods plan is ready you will be a mom!!!
I just know that! Lots of prayers your way for the house!! That is sooo exciting!!

The new house sounds like an awesome opportunity for you. I am really happy for you. God does have a plan for you, and I believe that it is going to include you being a mom.
