Home Sweet Home (for now)

It's been awhile since I've blogged.  I'd like to say it is purely because I've been too busy enjoying summer to write, which is only partly true.  The rest of the truth is, it has been a crazy month trying to get our house ready to sell.  Fortunately, we've had some fantastic friends come alongside us and help with the process.  It is like a brand new house around here and honestly, except for the fact that I'm a little tired of messing with it, I'm going to miss living here.  It has been a great home for us for the past ten years. 

Here's what we've been up to:
(and when I say we, I should give Jamie most of the credit.  He has worked so hard.)  

Getting a new roof -thank you State Farm
Painting the exterior and trim
Staining the deck -and it's a big one!
Replacing three large windows
Removing bushes and filling in landscaping
Painting interior upstairs trim
Painting the kitchen
Updating the master bathroom
Updating the kitchen
Sorting, sorting, sorting
Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning
Two yard sales
Several trips to the dump
Giving lots of stuff away

And it seems like the list could go on and on...

But, we finally have almost everything complete, we met with our realtor yesterday and will be listing our house with Remax next Wednesday.  It is very exciting and scary and overwhelming to be at this place. 

Besides that, we've also spent several wonderful hours at the pool and enjoyed spending time as a family watching fireworks, going to a minor league ballgame and went camping  with friends.  We are exhausted but happy.   Life is good!
