I’m just glad that this time around, we sought appropriate action instead of waiting. I really enjoy renting from independent landlords because living in a huge apartment complex can make you feel cold. Like you’re not part of a community. The neighbors don’t get to know each other as well as I’ve gotten to know some of our neighbors from the independent places we’ve lived. And I enjoy supporting small business owners. I donate to enough chain stores on a monthly basis as it is.
However, this is probably going to be our last time renting from a small/independent landlord or property management company. I’ve already started looking into townhouses.
JJ goes in next Tuesday for a check up at the pediatrician. We’re going to over our options for therapy and testing to see what’s affecting his speech development. Not even going to try and put on a brave face. I’m scared. While everything about him seems normal to me except for his verbal communication skills, that might not be case.
When you starting doing tests and therapies, you stand the chance of finding other and possibly worst things wrong. I’m staying prayerful and hopeful though. God has the final say at the end of day.

October 4, 2013 at 1:38 PMChristmas movies already….it is almost that time. My hubs hates apartments but down here they are cheaper than renting out a house. I wish they had better programs where you could rent out a house and then maybe own it in two years.

I'm adding your little one to my prayers for his speech. They develop differently – many times boys struggle with it more than girls. It WILL be ok! Cannot wait to read your take on that book – I have heard of it but not read it! Have a fantastic weekend!!!

October 11, 2013 at 8:53 PMYes, I'm looking forward to home ownership too. At least I know then that things will get fixed right away.

October 11, 2013 at 8:54 PMI'm not sure if we have any rent to own programs here, but now that you've mentioned it, I 'm going to look into it. That could be a happy medium for us.
K. Elizabeth @ YUMMommy
October 11, 2013 at 9:01 PMYes!! I am all about the holiday movies on the Hallmark Channel. I literally live in front of the tv watching them. And thanks for the reassurance. I'm staying positive that JJ's language breakthrough will come soon.

October 11, 2013 at 9:03 PMNo, they're not easy, but it's the life agree to when you become a parent. You just never know the hurdles you'll have to overcome, but I'm thankful to have him and know that we'll get through this.

October 11, 2013 at 9:05 PMGlad you have your computer back up and running! I wondering if something had happened because I noticed that I wasn't seeing any regular posts or updates from you. Hope that all is well with you too!

October 11, 2013 at 9:06 PMMy kids are definitely not into the Halloween movies, but Moo does love the Christmas movies. So, that works out perfectly because there are only a handful of Halloween movies I like anyway.
