We got the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YankeeCandle224]

I'm crying, laughing, dont know what I'm doing. The realtor is coming again tonight to sign some more papers and it's ours!!!!! I cant believe it, I just cant believe it. I am so happy and so excited I forgot about the pain for a bit.

I didnt know who to tell, called my best friend, and came straight here..........OMG I'm so happy!!!!!!!

[dyno]

That is great news!!:party:

[Katrina]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very happy for you!

[YankeeCandle224]

Maybe, just maybe things are turning my way. My husband played a MEAN April fools day on me. They wanted 2k more than our offer, which is what we wanted to pay anyway, so I accepted that offer on the phone til the guy comes tonight, called the hubby and he said if they didnt accept our original offer then the deal was off. I was hysterical. I thought that was just plain mean!!!!!!

He apologized profusely on the phone to me and said he didnt mean to make me cry.

I'm getting my dream house........Hubby and I are doing well except for the mean little trick he played on me, and HOPEFULLY the ex bf will leave me alone.

I've prayed so much lately for so many things. Now if I can get my pain and fatigue under control I might just have it made!


Bless y'all for writing, its so nice to have a place to share everything, good, and bad, and know that you all understand.

Love, Sandy

Sandy...

I am so happy for you. I looked at the pictures of the house. It is wonderful. I love all the book shelves.

Now comes the fun stuff...how should you arrange the furniture...what cabinet should you put the plates in...what drawer for the tableware?

A new house...a new beginning:woohoo:

[YankeeCandle224]

Thats how I am looking at this, a new beginning. That i the fun stuff, hanging my pictures, sconces, etc, on MY wall, not an apartment townhouse wall.....All the painting and wallpaper is perfect now, and it has berber carpet in the house, so nothing to do but move in. It's immaculate.

Thank you for writing!!!!!!! You brought a smile to my face.

Hugs, Sandy

I am so happy for you!!! I can't wait to hear about your thoughts when you finally get moved it. We want lots of details. You know, we all prayed hard for this too and so this is a prayer answered for us as well. So we want to keep celebrating with you!!! OKAY?

A big Hug and A :kiss:,

[YankeeCandle224]

I'm so happy today, but also exhausted. I slept thru the night last night but am just so worn out today my body is telling me to rest, and I have been, and will most of the day without caring what dish needs to be put in the dishwasher....

Rhonda, I'll write you, promise....I think it would be great to get to know you better since we live pretty close to each other. Probably a 2 hour drive or less I would imagine!! Thank you for
being so kind.

Iris, Michelle, Dyno, and to anyone I missed your posts of congrats for me and the happiness just brighten my world, all of you. Words dont say enough to let you guys know how good it feels to come here, know that people care, and always understand....Most of my friends here left one by one as I got sicker and after the hospitilizations, etc. I guess they dont know how to deal with it, or just got tired of the old Sandy not being there for them or something, I dont know. Never figured it out but it sure has hurt. Thats why all of you are so wonderful to me and why I care for you all like family in such a short time!

Audrey Rose, thank you for the prayer, thanks to all of you that have prayed for me. In the past I've been a bit lax about praying and not doing enough of it, and since I've found you guys I have made it a daily priority and believe again in the power of prayer.

Love, and hugs to all of you. Sandy
(and sorry for writing another novel)

[Dixiefireball]

i will always try to be here for you no matter what
take it easy on your self okay hon
sending you hugs and prayers
Rhonda:pray: :grouphug:

P.S i'm dieing to know did you pay your husband back somehow for that awful trick he pulled on you:confused: :kiss:

[YankeeCandle224]

The real estate agent was supposed to pull one over on him when he came over that night for us to sign the ammended paperwork. He didnt do anything, but he told my husband that he played a really nasty trick on me and he should be ashamed lol. By that point I'd forgiven him, but I'm not good at thinking of tricks to pull, at least not as good as he is. I sure wish I'd thought of something!!!

Today we are taking the kids over to see the inside of the house. I'm so excited to see it again. But, I hurt, SO bad, and nothing eases the pain, nothing. I'm going to call my pain doctor on Monday and see if I can get in to see him. Something has to be done because I'm ALMOST to the point of not functioning, but had to go to a cello concert early this morning for my son who was playing a solo. It about killed me and was downtown, then I had to go to the grocery store, and the kids brought in the stuff, but I am just spent so I have to nap for an hour or so at least then I may be able to go see the house with less pain.

Thanks again for being there with all that you have going on in your own household.....all of you. It's hard to help people out or give them a shoulder to cry on when your own world is in turmoil or you are in pain yourself.

Hugs hugs and more hugs, Sandy

[Audrey Rose]

Sandy,
Do you know, that I always look out for your posts? They are so encouraging to me. Even the ones about how much pain you are in. You are always telling about how you pushed yourself to do something or another because it was important to you. I am fairly new to the world of IC and I stay home a lot. And then I am sad and lonely. You encourage and motivate me to keep on living, despite IC. You are such a bright light to me....a bright flicker through darkness...a candle that reminds me that I still have a life that needs to be lived and not wasted. And when I am hurting so much that I have to stay home, I can read your stories and be entertained or moved. I have been hooked on the house stories, like people are with their favorite soap. Please know how thankful I am that your life has touched mine. You have made a HUGE difference in my life!!

:love:

I am so thankful for everyone who posts here on good days and especially on bad days. Through all these words, we find FAMILY!!
:grouphug:
We have all wondered at one time or another, about whether we are worth being loved or not. We are tired, cranky, hurting, preoccupied, and miserable most of the time. But you know what? None of us came to this site pre-IC. And I find more love here then I find in most public places. You are all so kind and sensitive!! :)
We are ALL definitely loving people who deserved to be loved back!!

BIG HUG and A :kiss: to all of you!!!
I really do love each one of you!!

Hi Audrey Rose, what a beautiful post, I am so glad for you that the IC family means so much to you, and I feel the same sentiment exactly. It is nice to know that there is always someone here, who has had the same experience, or even going through the first time dealing with IC. I found the network and family, shortly after I was diagnosed and the future did not seem half as bleak, knowing that there were so many caring people here, supporting, and helping each other through the good and bad times. I hope that I can be of some help to many others in the family. Take care and hugs, always here for our great gals, Iris.:kiss: :grouphug:

[YankeeCandle224]

you have no idea what your post meant to me. I am sitting here in tears. I always worry I'm not doing enough for others, in my home life, or with my online family, just in life period. I am so used to being a caregiver and without working as a RN I feel that part of my soul has been ripped out.

Honestly, I had no idea I helped anyone here. I try, I want to help with my knowlege, or at least what I remember, or I look things up in my books, but I still feel like I whine too much or ask for too much of you guys and that I dont reciprocate enough.

Your post brightened MY life, my day. Knowing that there are people out there praying for me, rooting for me, when I sometimes feel so alone, even surrounded with my kids and since I got back with my husband.......I just feel lost.

I'm tired of being tired, I'm tired of being sick, but I have to go on for my kids, but I take advantage of the downtime my husband provides me to watch the kids and nap, or take a bath. It's so hard, but my kids keep me alive so to speak, and if not for them, and my husband and my pets, well, sometimes I dont know if I could go on or would even want to. Not that I think of suicide, but I need to be needed, and your words really helped me out today.

Bless your heart, and please, pm me sometime and we'll talk off the board, ok?

Hugs and thank you for being so kind. Love, Sandy
