Why We Waited

I think it was because we kept running out of time, because we have a three year old and a one year old, because we like adventures and sleep more, or maybe just because I check social media more often than I should. Whatever millions of reasons I can make up, we are where we are...which is struggling to stage the house to get it listed and SOLD in just a few weeks.

We love this house. It's Home and it's the only home our kids have known. Yet, somehow, the paint is peeling on the front railing (well, not anymore! James and Benj took care of that today!), the weeds are making babies in plain view of all of our neighbors (hey, we are in the baby pool in the back splashing without a care in the world!), and we never did do the bathroom makeover we dreamed about (it's still pink, though our real estate agent called it "vintage" and "retro" - hope that's good!).

Still, we don't have any real excuses. So, we are getting right down to business and we actually seem to be enjoying it. 

James said something funny to me today; "you know, we should just pretend we are selling our house once a year...look how much we get done!" And he's right. So, that's what we hope to do in the new house (whenever and wherever it is).

Happy Saturday folks. Hope you accomplished what you wanted to, but also got some "me time."

Packing fervently,

Alex

PS: But this happened while James sanded the railing...
