You know how sometimes you’re sitting there, joking around, dreaming big dreams and goofing off about nothing in particular until you move on to the next thing? Except maybe it wasn’t really joking around. Not entirely. And maybe a day or two later you realize hey there, now that you mention it, I actually wasn’t kidding, and I actually would turn our lives upside down. You know, if the time is right. And it kinda feels right, at least to me. You game?
Then just like that you’re off to the races.
So it seems we’re putting our house on the market. This is big stuff, but I can do big stuff. I tell myself this all the time. We ran away over Christmas break which, given the deadline we’re on, seemed like a colossally bad idea at the time. Then again, I literally lost the boarding passes for the second leg of our trip on the way out of town so that should tell you where my head was. In over twenty years of travel I’ve never lost a boarding pass and let me tell you, that oh shit WE CAN’T GET ON THE PLANE moment as everyone else boarded the connecting flight is one I’m not eager to repeat.
Point being, my brain was fried. I needed the break. I took the break. Plus nonrefundable plane tickets, man. That’s no joke.
But now I’m back with a vengeance. Unfortunately, that vengeance will have to be aimed at the house for a while so if I’m hit or miss on the blog just assume I’m trapped under some boxes and will eventually reemerge for sustenance.
In the meantime, think happy real estate thoughts for us.
I’m glad you took the break!
I hate moving, I hate moving other people, I hates it, Laura! But for you, I will think only happy moving thoughts and hope that your new home is ready for all the love y’all bring 🙂

Having recently gone through my own sale and purchase, I wish you much luck. May you find the house of your dreams, and may the bank financing be easy. May you find a purchaser for your current home easily, and may that purchaser also have easy sailing on the financing. So exciting and so stressful, but it always works out in the end. A good realtor helps, a lot.

Wonderful wishes indeed! We’re lucky on several fronts – we found the perfect house, they accepted our contingent contract, & we have a great agent. Now all we need is a buyer who can jump through bank hoops and we’re off to the races!

It is a pretty tall order. Maybe “non disastrous real estate thoughts” instead? 😆

Sounds like you are closing some doors, but opening new ones – which can be stressful, but also very exciting. Good luck with the house sale, and your next step.

It was. Funny enough, all four of us needed it just as bad — it was the first vacation where the kids were just as happy to laze around (thank goodness). Good luck with your house. We can do big stuff!!
