it is a kinda tiring but joyful w/e here. I am fairly heavy into the real estate hunt for my very FIRST house. Exciting and tiresome just the same. Like everything else ...all according to His timing. Thx for asking.
I think I heard you mention about a potential piece of property that you spotted . Gues your considering a move as well huh?
I'm thinking it over. I don't want to stay in an apartment forever and I don't know when or if my W will ever come back. So I found a house that is a bit older for a great price that I am looking at. I could afford this house and I would have a front and back yard. I could have my dog back and grill out on the back patio. It would be nice. I would have to repaint the walls. But thats ok. It would give me something to do. I haven't made a decision yet. Just thinking it over.
I have to proceed with my life and just keep praying for a reconciliation. But where my W is right now, it isn't going to probably be for a very very long time. I just don't want to wait in an apartment for years to come.

I am happily counting down the days when I am not living under someone elses roof and paying for someone elses mortgage. I will pay for my own thx. And now couldn't be a better time to do so
I am blessed to have a job and a decent one at that. So I will not wait any longer than I absolutely have to get my 1st place. Real excited. And finally making it a priority.
I am online hunting for the real estate kill right now. just stalking. The Lord will give me a nudge when the right one comes along. I am confident. Afterall Y shouldn't I be. We are talking God. And He is great.
I wish you the best on the house hunting and I will pray for you that you find the right one.

"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established!"
W got here at 8pm. She brought over a bag of ice because I asked her if she could pick one up on her way since I was trying to boil a chicken at the time. So her and the kids come in and I am just sitting at the table deshelling pistachios. I don't really say anything. She finishes bringing stuff up. I thank her for the ice. She says you are welcomed.
Then I ask the kids if they made it to church this morning. They said no. W never really takes them anymore. I shook my head in disbelief. W saw me and starts to explain her weekend. Apparently the AC and hot water heater went out in the house so they had to stay with her mom. There was also gas in the house from the connection some how. I guess things didn't go well. Then Saturday she took the van to 3 different garages and couldn't get it to pass inspection and has to put some money into getting it fixed. She almost broke down in tears telling me. Then she says it has been a really crappy weekend so no, they didn't make it to church. Then she turns and starts walking out. I followed her out and told her I am sorry, I didn't know. And she said no, I didn't.
She didn't want to talk about it any further. I could tell she was really frusturated with her weekend. I hadn't seen her almost break down like that in forever. I had begun to wonder if she was still human. She didn't end up crying, but I could see it in her eyes that she was close.
The sad thing is, I really wanted to step in and help her out which I could. But she doesn't want it and this is the past she has chosen at this point and time. So I didn't.
I don't like to see her frusturated like that or having problems like that. But there is nothing I can do about. She is choosing this lifestyle. It made me think praise God that I am not really having any problems. Ya, things are tighter for me and I have to watch money closer and I am trying to save money. But overall, nothing is giving me any major headaches in life other than not having my wife. My life is getting better little by little.
She just looked like she was having a real tough time tonite. I think she didn't want to tell me she is having some difficulties because she has so much pride. But when I shook my head, she felt the need to defend herself. Little did I know what had been going on. I probably blew an opportunity to look good in her eyes. But at the same time as far as I was aware, everything has been going fantastic for her in her life. And had I not shook my head, I would not have known what was really going on.
Oh well. I love her and I pray for us to reconcile. I don't like to see her like this but I can't step in and help her out.

"I probably blew an opportunity to look good in her eyes."
not if you remained CONFIDENT that everything is going GREAT in your life. let her see for herself that the single life is NOT everything she taught it was cut out to be. Remember, "My life is getting better ..." SM
