Busy House Hunting

I know I haven't been visiting and dropping EC lately with your blogs, my friends. We have been busy searching for house to be purchased before the $8,000.00 tax credit thing expires which would be at the end of April 2010 on top of our lease that is due this June. We are looking in Mesquite, Plano and Richardson areas. So far, we found the one we liked last week in Mesquite area and made an offer, but unfortunately, the seller got mad at the real estate agent who is working with us. She said that the offer is too low. This woman who pretended to know a lot about real estate doesn't really know what she was talking about. She should accepted our offer because our offer was more than the price of the houses selling in that particular area. Yeah, she made an extensive renovation in that house and because of that, she wants the exact price listed on the market for that house. The real estate agent and us agreed that this woman is crazy! No matter how much updates she did in that house....doesn't really matter. The selling price of the houses in the area is what matter's most... and not the renovation made. We knew it based from our own experienced before when we sold our house a couple of years ago. She actually didn't reject our offer, but gave us a chance to make another offer which we refused to do. She can keep that house to herself for nobody will buys it...for sure unless she is willing to negotiate the price with the prospective buyer.

Mommy Moments: Song from a Mom's/Dad's Heart

I saw this video at youtube and felt sad, because this reminds me and my husband when we lost our first baby on stillborn. The lyrics of this song is what exactly we felt when we were grieving for our lost. "I remember thinking, "this is not real/true, this can't be happening, this isn't happening. I remember both of us crying out, I remember Matt crying out, I remember him holding me, and both of us sobbing." On that moment our bereaved life changes in the instant." I still cry every time I think of her... and blames myself for I think that it was all my fault why she died. The doctor tried to explain with me that it wasn't my fault or the things I did or didn't do. Can you blame me for feeling that way still? I love her so much! Though I know we would be able to be reunited with her someday, knowing that she not here, makes me feel empty still. She was back to Heavenly Father for a reason of which I don't know...but am sure she is happy that we are doing our "best" here on earth just to be with her someday! I know for sure that "Families Can Be Together Forever.....someday."

"ONE MORE DAY"
sung by: Rocket Club Band

I'll never get to hold you
I'll never hear your sweet voice sing
I'll never get to say 'I told you so'
I'll never read to you, or get to teach you anything
But you'll always be my hope
You'll always be my first light
You're always gonna be Daddy's little girl
You'll always be the strength I need to make it in this world
I only wish for one more day
I'm gonna miss your first day of school
I'll never see you turn that page
I'll never see you in your graduation gown
And I'm never gonna see you coming of age
But you'll always be my hope
You'll always be my first light
You're always gonna be Mommy's little girl
You'll always be the strength I need to make it in this world
I only wish for one more day
Sweet angel of mercy
Coming down to comfort me
Faith, sit right here beside me
I never want you to go away
I'm always gonna wonder how you'd look
Always gonna wish I took your place up there
You'll always be our hope
You'll always be our first light
You're always gonna be our little girl
You'll always be the strength we need to make it in this world
We only wish for one more day
We only wish for one more day."

And here the song I always and still sing to Jacob entitled: "Mary's Lullaby to Jesus."
