Waiting to Exhale!

Good morning! I know, I know it's Monday! It still can be good! I'm not sure what the day has in store for us here! We have no plans again! I am grateful for that, I slept very poorly last night! This morning Shawn and Kelly were up early. Kelly to get ready for school and Shawn to drive her. When one of our neighborhood kids came knocking on the door. He was looking too see if the offer for a ride to school, Shawn had made, was still on the table. This young man lives another street past ours, it is quite the significant walk to the high school Kelly and he attend! Today was raining and I guess he finally couldn't stand walking in rain another  minute, so he finally came knocking! Shawn reassured him that it would be no trouble giving him a ride to and from school, just as long as he was at the house by a specific time and waiting with Kelly after school. Now as long as the finances come through this week like we were told they would (in writing!), then we can stay true to that promise! Shawn and I feel pretty optimistic that we have turned the corner on all the waiting and that things will be in place by February 1st and no later than the 4th. That is what we have been told and now we have to be faithful that it will happen! I tell you what, if they all do fall into place as we have been told, there will be a very sudden wind gust down here in Montgomery!! That will be from the four of us finally exhaling!! Sometimes that is what this whole situation has felt like, we took a deep breath, made a big dive, but when we came up for air, we came up at the wrong time! Now we are in the final stretch and we are waiting to exhale!
