Spirits Getting Higher

First off, THANKS for all of your sympathetic comments and encouragement! It's amazing how therapeutic blogging can be. :) Our date night was fantastic. Prince Charming took me to Westville. Ha. But some where hidden in the boonies is the best fillet mignon I've ever tasted. It was unreal. We were able to relax, enjoy each other, great food, and a good movie (Ironman 2).

The day got better, my friends. Sparing you the details, we found out some tidbits of good, encouraging news today that might propel this move forward in the next few weeks! I thought I post a preview of what might be our new house come 2 weeks:


And then since it's my darlings birthday (well, yesterday), I thought I'd show you just how in love our son is w/ Jason (and I think the feeling's mutual!) Last night I capture sheer sweetness when Lincoln got sleepy, crawled into his dad's lap and drifted off...

And in the midst of the craziness on Wednesday, we did get a chance to eat lunch with daddy...guess who was SUPER fired up. :)

And then part of Jason's birthday present was trying to capture a good picture (hence the word "good") of his two boys for his office.

Attempt #1? Not so successful... Let's try again...yeah, not yet.

Hmmm...getting closer (literally from Lincoln's point of view).

Here! This will do!

And in robbery update, our little thieves have now successfully cleared over $5,000.00 worth of checks in the past 24 hours at Walmart (yes, I have called to Walmart TWICE, but they keep letting the guys write the checks without carding them!) We have some very good documentation on them, however, and the police are retrieving video surveillance as we speak. They are EXTREMELY confident these guys will be caught! They also said, so far, this is the biggest fraudulent case they have seen in 10 years because of how big the guys are writing checks (and all in Siloam - brilliant). Off now to get some much needed, long overdue rest. Good night!
