WHAT MATTERS MOST

AND THE VERDICT IS...

WE ARE MOVING to yet another state! Elliott got the official good news this past Friday. This is a great opportunity for him, better than we ever thought. He was one of the four out of the eight to be hand selected by the President and VP of Sport Med sales to join them in Warsaw for specialty training. He came home for the weekend and we spent the time painting doors, touch up painting, replacing door knobs and hinges, and other small loose ends (we are officially brass-free in this house). Our house is up for sale so let the fun begin! Monday was a crazy day. I thought I would have all day to get boxes moved out and some furniture moved and then clean, clean, clean. When your house is for sale everything needs to be clean. It is not like you can shove something in a closet because they open those. 10:30 am Monday, I got a call that their was going to be a showing at 1:30. I freaked because I knew their was not enough time especially considering I still have two walking tornadoes (aka Ryann and Addison). I would get a room all picked up and clean to come back and it be somewhat undone. AHhhh! I learned to do the rooms with doors first so I could lock them.This brought stress to Ryann not being able to go into the rooms she desired to play (aka destroy). Luckily I have a great agent that stopped by and helped me move some of the boxes and hang up the towel bars in the newly painted bathroom (oh I painted that too this weekend). So I was running around like a mad women and made it out just in time. Only for another showing later that afternoon and an open house and showing on Tuesday it is crazy! We don't even have pictures yet online and MLS. I was thinking I would have a few days before any showings. Let's just say that keeping the house spotless with kids is ....um...NOT FUN! Luckily I packed away 85% of the toys to keep that mess down. Who am I kidding...no toys means they find something else that is technically not a toy to play with. My kitchen has become the new playroom and my shoes out of my closet. I am just so glad that all the projects are done and now I can focus on packing. I have been working on the house for 7 strait weeks...Yuck!

Downside: For the next 4 months I will be hubby-less while he is away in Warsaw, IN for training. But at least he has a job!

VEGAS or BUST!
