Bold move...

After busting our butts to get things squared away…


 Paul painted our deck
 Then we cleaned and organized and purged like we never have before.  Our house is seriously the cleanest it has ever been.





We set a goal to have it ready so that we could list it today.  We met our goal.  Since the house was spick and span, we decided to get out of the house with the kids, while the realtor came to do whatever realtors do…

We landed at Chuck-E-Cheese, Hartley landed in the moby wrap with me.




Jovie was a little afraid of this simulator game, so R jumped up next to her.  The way he volunteered and the way she snuggled up next to him made me smile.  Moments like these make me realize that Paul and I must be able to parent right some times :).

 Jovie wanted to ride the pony.  I laughed because it is called the KenChukE Derby ride.  Fitting for a pony ride at Chuck-E-Cheese when located in KY.

 She looked so petite on this huge horse, her little size 6 Saltwaters were about a foot from the stirrup.
 Kip and Paul played air hockey


The fantastic four on the car ride home.  Hartley slept through the chaos that is three older sibling chattering/bickering about being in the car so long.  Don't mind blurry Kip, the kid wouldn't sit still for me to take his picture, shaking his head all crazy like and belly giggling at me.  I have about 25 blurry Kip pictures on my phone.



After our morning out, we came home to a sign in our yard.  It changed my mood instantly.  

The first home that Paul and I bought together is officially up for sale...

A lock box and everything.
We are really doing this.  It is a bold, crazy, spontaneous step and I am anxious, excited, nervous, worried and just well…it is what it is, and we will see what happens next.

It has been a great 2 years in our first yellow home.  I hold out hope that wherever we land next will be just as lovely as this home has been for us.  One thing is certain, we will absolutely miss our neighborhood and wonderful neighbors here!

Whatever is meant to be, will be, and I just want to figure out what that will be sooner rather than later.

So much change, all at once.  Our life is a crazy journey.

House, please sell quickly!

Your house is gorgeous, I hope it sells soon! Our first house was also yellow... And I cried when we sold it.
