THE BIG LIST

Our house is officially for sale now. We had a meeting with Dave Lawson and Daniel Goode on Wednesday and signed the papers. It was officially listed yesterday! It is really wierd to think about someone else living in my newly remodeled house and me moving 2000 miles away. I have a lot of emotions about it recently and suppose I will for many months now.

My family has been great about helping get things ready, but Alicia and Susie have been a big help to me also and it has been so nice. Susie made a comment about it being wierd to be helping to get things done for us to leave. I guess it would be, but it has really shown me how my in-laws really are family to me and I appreciate and love it. I know (and have known since the beginning) that I will miss them almost as much as Owen will. The feelings are so mixed up because at the same time I am so excited to be close to Chad and Katy and their kids and to be back with my mom. And I am also very stoked to be close to my Granny and uncles and aunt as well. Hopefully I can catch up with my cousins too.

Anyway, that's the jist of it for now. I hope y'all are good. I can't wait to kick my feet up in a few days when every last detail is completed on the house!

CHECK THIS OUT









I can not believe the transformation. Just a few more little touch-up items and a lot of cleaning and we can put our feet up! Please pray for a buyer now. It took me a very long time to get all the pictures posted, so now I don't really have time to write, but we are super excited as you can imagine. Lots of love.

MISSING EACH OTHER

Ok, so as I was saying in my comment on the last post, I really hate being apart. I was painting my cabinets the other day and of course I had on grubby clothes, no makeup, my hair pulled back, you can picture it and I thought "Wow, it sure would be nice if I had someone to go to lunch with after dropping Tristan at school." I wanted some company that required no effort and had no care about how I looked. I thought of people I could call, but it all seemed like too much effort. What to talk about, I'd have to change and put on some makeup, etc, etc. I miss effortless friendship. (Not that Jami and Marlene are not effortless. We just don't get a lot of chances to be together.) Anyway, honestly I miss the days of packing a lunch to walk to the park. Life was simple. And I guess that is what we are looking for in this move. Simplicity, ahh.
