My Wife, The Optimist

Lance here. I have taken over Carrie's blog for a day. I know it won't be as interesting but I wanted to show everyone this picture. Yesterday I proposed to Carrie that we wait to move until after the baby is born. With a baby on the way, our family has been the mercy of State Farm in terms of timing. If we stay in our house until WE are ready to move (regardless of the settlement, baby or construction) the power is back in our hands. The reality of our situation is that we could be in a rental paying out of pocket or in Carrie's folks house waiting for months with no work started. If we stay put, we'll move whenever work is about to start, with State Farm paying for moving & temporary housing. I think we all agree but Carrie had already set some things in motion to move (and was fine with that). The reason I wanted to show the picture was to just say my wife is an optimist. The day after I mentioned this, Carrie started hanging new art in our house. I thought this was a funny to walk in the bathroom and see new art hanging among the chaos.

Anyone for some lemonade?

Lance
