I’m extremely behind on my
blogging. The kids have been cute, we’ve
done some fun things and I have nothing to say about it… why… because I’m ALL
CONSUMED WITH SELLING OUR HOUSE!!!
The craze started gradually,
and then one day it hit me. A friend
posted a picture of the view from her new porch and I was hooked. I wanted that! The hubs got on board easily
enough and then we were off. The next
few weeks were a blur of decluttering, depersonalizing, staging and repairing. Justin and I only spoke in incoherent
fragments as our heads hit the pillows.
Playing tea party was a thing of the past; I spent my time rearranging
throw pillows. Even the haunting words
of my four year old couldn’t douse my flame, “Mommy you never play anymore, all
you do is clean”.
Our insanity was rewarded and
after a short 16 days on the market we had our first offer. Once we were under contract, we couldn’t have
been happier to resume our normal “messy” lifestyle. Toys were left out, beds weren’t made, and
the McDonald’s worker didn’t know us by name.
Life was good.
Fast-forward a few weeks and
everything changed. Closing woes have us
wondering if it was all for nothing. I
hassle our poor agent daily (sometimes hourly) for updates on a never-changing
situation. Instead of packing and movin
on up, we could be movin back on the market.
I spent the past couple of
weeks freaking out and bugging anyone who would listen. Then I decided to choose contentment. We were happy before I brought this on my
family and we will be happy after. Our
family is so much more than the house that we live in. We can squeal, play dress up, and bake
cookies anywhere.
We want to move. We’re ready for the new adventure, but if I
spend all of my time stressing out about the future I’ll miss the amazing
things that are happening right in front of me.
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught
me to say, it is well; it is well with my soul!
Below are some fun family events that I didn't blog about! :)
