New House

We went on a househunting trip last weekend. Craig and I went alone and left our kids with great friends and family. We really are grateful for such good friends and family here. We are really going to miss everyone when we move. We were somewhat successful on our househunt. We are putting an offer in on a 1905 Victorian style home. It is a beautiful house with lots of potential. We will have to make several renovations, but we are very excited!! We also went to the new offices Craig will be in charge of and met his coworkers. Everyone we met was so nice, it really helped me to be more excited about the move! This week I have lots of appointments with real estate agents, appraisors, inspectors, movers, etc. We are only here for another 8 days, so it will be very busy!! We hope this season finds everyone healthy and happy!!! Season's Greetings

Garage Sale

So because we are moving, I have been working incredibly hard to clean out all of the STUFF we have in our house and get our home ready to go on "The Market!" Each day as the kids come through the door they have been amazed at how much stuff is gone and how empty our house is becoming. I think we still have way to much stuff so after we move my motto is going to be to SIMPLIFY. Anyways, I had so much stuff to give away or throw out that I decided to have a yard sale. It was crazy on Sat. the 5th people started showing up at 7:00 am in the freezing cold weather to buy my stuff. The kids had a great time and did rather well with selling some of their toys and clothes. We sold a lot of our big items, but still had lots of things left, so Daren and Linda decided that they would go ahead and do the sale again this next weekend while we are gone on a househunting trip. Thank You! This time we are going to advertise that it is indoors in a heated garage!!!
