Long Time, No Post

I know you probably thought I was dead since it had been so long since I posted. Usually, I post everyday, if not multiple times a day. Writing blogs just had to move down on my list of priorities for awhile. Too many other things to do......

I think everyone knows by now that we are moving. That's been the main reason for the hectic pace of life lately. Getting a house ready to sell, taking care of kids, preparing for a retreat, and then going on a retreat has left time for little else. But, the retreat is over (and was wonderful I might add - more on that as I have time) and as of last night, our house is officially for sale. The sign is in the yard.


The sign in sheet is on the bar. Right now it's beside a little candle, but I'm planning on getting a yummy Yankee candle today. I love Yankee! I'm already looking forward to choosing the scent. Of course, my choice is always hampered by the color. The color has to match my house.



Then there's the shower in our bathroom. I'm waiting for the plumber to return to finish one last part, but it's mostly done. I haven't cleaned it really good and shined it up since the dirty plumber will soon be standing in there again, but I'm already enjoying the new look. I really should have taken some before pictures so you could fully appreciate it too, but I was honestly too embarrassed to have anyone see what it looked like before. It wasn't pretty. And although I would have loved to have totally replaced the tub and all the tile, it didn't make sense since we were going to be moving soon. So this was a much cost friendlier alternative that looks nice. Just ignore the cloudiness of the tile. I promise - it will look awesome.


I think we currently have about 7 boxes with which to move. We did have a very large garage sale in August, but I'm still thinking we might need more than 7 boxes. I don't think that would even hold half of the toys our kids have. =) Sooooo, if anyone has boxes they don't need let me know! I'll happily take them off your hands for you. I'm trying to stay away from banana boxes as they don't have solid lids or bottoms and many boxes may have to go to storage for a time. Other than that, I'm not picky. Let the boxes flow!!!

Does anyone know how incredibly fun it's going to be to keep my house spotlessly clean with 3 kids running/crawling around? And I can't wait for that first call to come right when nap time has started and we have to get out of the house. Yes, it's going to be fun. So fun, in fact, that we're praying for an offer within a week. I felt much more confident after the group of realtors walked through a little while ago and were saying to each other how nice it was and that it shouldn't last long at all. I know my house isn't perfect, but it is nice and pretty and big. I would buy it (obviously). So there it is in type - what we are believing God to do. An offer within a week. That means by next Tuesday. Expect to see a picture of the sold sign in the yard. =)
