To soon to breathe?

We have rented our house now 3 different times and I guess the old saying third times a charm is true, we hope. The first time was to a family members brother who's job cut his pay and he ended up not being able to afford it. Then we got sweet family who was moving here from Texas, they were going to put their daughter into a private school there in Durant. They came and looked at it, filled out the renters application, we approved them. I called and they were about to mail the deposit check when the school called and they found out their daughter didn't get accepted into the private school. Strike two. So we put an add in the paper and have a couple moving in now, we have the deposit in hand. (took two times to learn that you don't hold a property for some one you don't know unless you have a deposit) We are going this weekend to have them sign the contract, and they are due to move in on the 27th. I am not going to count my chickens before they hatch, until they are in and have mailed a month of rent... I am not going to get all happy and think that its finally taken care of. UGH. There are some GREAT benefits of being a landlord, but there are some HUGE draw backs as well.

I am getting to have a sleep over with a friend of mine that I have known FOREVER. Sunnye and I were best buds through high school, and we have managed to stick together! She is in OKC for several days doing IVF and I am so excited to have the opportunity to be a small part of this, and get to see what we are praying is a very successful journey to my friend becoming a mother. She has a very special place in my heart, I am excited to be able to spend an evening with her.
