Half and Half

Lately with all the move ruckus, I feel that we live half in WI and half in MN.  This past weekend we went from WI to MN, back to WI then MN and will be going home to WI in a matter of hours.  I think we only hit one city twice on this little adventure of ours.  Confused yet?  I think our GPS and our internal 'where are we' clocks were a little mixed up as well.  There were a few times the hubby asked in the car 'What state are we in?'.

Still no action on the house...if someone would be out there to look at it we may have a better chance of selling!  Not a lot of buyers out there this time of year and in this poor market.  We'll just keep our fingers crossed!  The other day I had a Chinese fortune cookie say that good luck will come my way the next full moon.  The next full moon is scheduled on October 22nd so we'll see if we get some news then!  I'm always hopeful and wishing those things work.... so on that note, everyone please send happy thoughts our way for a quick and easy house sale!

House Selling Patience

Well, what a way to start a blog but to prepare for an ending of another chapter in our lives.  We currently have our house on the market in our small town of Sparta.  Preparing to move to the big city (St. Paul/Minneapolis) will be an adjustment for us all but nothing really new to us since we lived there over 10 years ago.  The housing market here has slowed town tremendously but not as much as the larger cities.  Hopefully, we will sell our house within a few months and our family can start to embark on a new adventure. 

Our dog Sitka and the hubby are both temporarily staying with family up in the cities while Morgan and I stay behind to keep the house lived in but clean and ready for any possible showings.  It's surreal to walk around the house that is now how we had dreamed it to be for the past 4 years.  A constant construction zone of projects, painting and remodeling...we finally got most of the house is as we envisioned it with a few exceptions like a kitchen remodel.

Hopefully this will be either entertaining, enlightening or just a good read for anyone who stumbles upon the rantings of this stay-at-home mom.   Happy thoughts to everyone and wish us luck on the house sale.
