Things keep moving faster with the house I am wanting than they are supposed to! We saw that it was going up for auction much faster than we had anticipated - it was auctioned off on Sept 2nd.  We knew the week before it happened cause I am a FABULOUS eugoogelizer!  However, Steve and I decided not to try to buy it at the auction.  It would have been a cash deal with no inspection or even a personal walk through.  Given that Steve has not even SEEN the house, and well, we don't just have that kind of cash lying around...that didn't sit very well with us and we decided to pass.   Apparently Freddie Mac purchased the home and their realtor was there at the end of last week putting a lock box on the door and changing all the locks - doing a walk through, etc.  My wonderful friend Catherine (who is almost as nosey of a neighbor as I am) cozied up to her and got the 411 on the homes status.  She even got to walk through it with the realtor and was able to tell me what kind of condit...

I received this glorious email from Brian and Stephanie regarding Sarah's surgery and status!  ________________ Sarah is out of surgery and doing well. Everything went very closely according to plan. We were allowed to see Sarah very soon after her surgery. The amount of equipment connected to her is a little alarming, but underneath it all, her long little body looks great. Her incision is shorter than I had expected, and even it looks good. Her skin is nice and pink. She will remain sedated for most of tonight, and though she almost certainly won't need me, I will stay with her tonight while Stephanie gets some much needed rest. Thank you for all of the prayers and expressions of concern. We feel hugely relieved. I even took a couple of pictures of Sarah. Stephanie thinks they may make some people uncomfortable, but if you are interested, you can see pictures of her at  www.entramblitures. squarespace.com . I think she's beautiful. _________________________ Thank you so m...

Some of you may  heard me speak of my friends that live in Alaska.  I went to high school in Rockwall with Stephanie.  She and I have remained in contact and watched as each others families have grown.  Well, my friend's daughter (2 months old) as well as she and her husband are in need of prayers!  Please, if you are reading this, stop what you are doing and say a prayer on behalf of Sarah Avery Rozell.    Sarah will be undergoing a major heart surgery beginning around noon today that will be about a 5 hour surgery and is very involved.  I do not want to relay the sensitive information incorrectly, so if you would like to know more about Sarah's condition please visit http://entramblitures.squarespace.com/ the latest post on there discusses this surgery and it's intricate nature in depth.  (Be prepared for tears, this is not an easy read).  Please spend some time in prayer every moment you think about it today.  Please pray that the surgeon's hands will be guided by Go...
