Proud Auntie!

I am an auntie anew today! Angie (Dan's sister) had Cassidy Leana this morning around 10am. She weighed in at a healthy 7 lbs, 1/2 oz, and she has curly red hair.

I am so proud and excited and I can't wait to meet my little neice!! : )

This is how I feel...

I'm going out of my mind. Who knew selling a home, finding/buying another one and relocating would be this stressful? Uh, not me.

We're presently living at John and Paige's since they are away on vacation and our home is looking like a million dollars. No children or dogs allowed. You could stinkin' eat off our floors! But not good enough yet to sell it.  I'm going out of my mind. Did I say that yet? I keep second guessing what we have it listed for, how long to leave it at that price, when and if we should call in a realtor, how can we buy a home in Edm, if we don't have this place sold yet? You know. I keep going round and round in my head with no clear answers standing out. I fully recognize that we could be in a worse position and we're really not that hard done by, but I remain stressed.

So, nothing really new to report. Just plugging away a day at a time and waiting for the phone to ring. You know. I'll let you know if anything changes. : )

AHHHHH!

Here it is! Go to www.welist.com and search by property # 22566, and you will see our humble little abode for sale. No price yet as we get our evaluation done tomorrow morning. Then we'll list it! Yikes! I am so nervous I am shaking. I mean, I know this has to happen, and we've worked our asses off to get to this point, but I'm still so scared about selling our HOME! And what will we move into??? Man alive. My heart is racing. We've been working like SNOT since we got home to get all of our renovations done and clean it up so we can list it. I am so tired and spent. Not a moment to spare around here. Then throw in two little boys. Phew. You can see how crazy it's been. Or least, maybe you can imagine it. I can't believe we still have to go and FIND another home, buy it, then MOVE! Big slow sigh out. I can do it. I can do it. So much to do.... That's why we're off to Calaway Park this afternoon with Paige, John and all our kids. Great use of time. Or just a well-deserved and well-needed little departure from the "norm." : ) Wish us luck on the open houses. We're going to have the kids at a friends' home for their nap so we can both be here together during it all. Ah! I just thought up--I need to create a spec sheet yet to give out. Ok--gotta run. There's the little update as far as I know it to be true. Though we're still looking in Edm. for a house, I'll admit that this getting ready for our open house has taken recent priority. But keep your eyes out still. Hopefully we'll be buying sooner rather than later! Ok--now I'm going. : )

It's Official!

We're moving to Edmonton! Dan was offered the job with Catholic Social Services as a social worker and he accepted. : ) This was offered and accepted while we were on vacation (I'll post pictures later of that!), so it was a bit crazy that way. Now that we're home it is all sinking in what needs to be done and when (he starts August 1st!) and our minds are spinning. We are excited and happy and scared and sad and anxious and relieved and many other things all tightly wrapped up. : ) I know we'll land ok, but this catapulting into a new life is none too comfortable a feeling.

I'll write more later, but it's late and hot and I'm still jet-lagged and tired and not thinking too clearly. The heat has also me extremely apathetic. Or maybe it's the million things that need to get done! At any rate, I'm off for tonight--just wanted to bring you into the loop. The crazy, life-changing loop.
