Where We're At . . .

Huh. Sometimes things change quickly . . .

In my last post we were just days from moving out. Now, I sit at the kitchen table in our house - ya know, the one we HAVEN'T moved out of . . . typing away my sorrows and woes and happies and doodles.

There has to be some wise plan in the fact that our buyer backed out two days before closing. The house was packed up - with nothing left but our bed, the kitchen table, and the TV. (I had to keep the TV to watch that week's episode of Honey-Boo-Boo, of course.) Our possessions are all stored away in the garage of Chuck's dad, and in a little storage shed.

Everything was ready, and then we got the phone call. We're told it was some drama with the buyer's son.

Remember how in my last post I mentioned that things were probably going this way to decrease any amount of sentiment I was feeling towards our little home? Yep. Well, we're beyond that point now.

We need to sell this house.

Our new home began construction on September 18 - so we've got about three months to get out of this one. Sigh.

The crazy thing is that all of this has been done through a lot of prayer and wise crunching of numbers - and the truth is that we've always felt really great about this whole move. Sooooo whhhhhhhyyyyy the drama?

Meh.

So please, if you know of anyone looking for a home in the Saratoga Springs/Eagle Mountain area, please send them our way.

In the meantime I'll be watching new episodes of Downton Abbey on my air mattress - which currently serves as couch.

I am trying hard to stay positive and not get discouraged, but some days, (well, most days lately) I'm just plain down about it all.  

On some happy notes: 

* My sister is getting married on November 2. So thrilled.

* My baby is ridiculously wonderful, and so good, and so super handsome. Love.

* Skip-Bo is a fun game.

* I have been eating more veggies. With hummus. And it's delicious.

* We only ate out once on this last paycheck. RECORD.

* Along those same lines, when I don't eat out, I lose weight. Awesome.

* I've been pulling a lot of weeds from the yard behind me. My legs burn from all the squatting. OUCH. 

* The CW is renewing "Breaking Pointe" for a second season. Yippee.

* We're getting family pictures on Nov. 1, and the money is going towards the medical bills of a neighbor  who passed away this week. Warm fuzzy.

* We've been watching the new season of Downton Abbey via TunnelBear. Blessed. 

* Davis is becoming mobile. Help.

* My favorite day of the year is September 12. It's the date, in 2007, when Chuck and I become official. Every year I give him a book of our year. Excitement. 

* In the book this year, I included a grid of "26 Weeks of Davis." Sniff.

. . . 

And there ya go. You're up to date. 

Tomorrow we're going for a Sunday drive up the Alpine Loop. Delightful.

Also - someone please give us someone to buy our house. 

Yes.
