Busy, busy, busy!!!

Busy, busy, busy!!! I wish I could say that I'm just busy doing things....but along with being busy doing things my mind is also whirling, twirling and thinking about three or four things at once. Writing this blog is helping to quiet my thoughts down a little bit. Our next couple of months promise to be very busy. My challenge will be to take one thing at a time and to move slowly, with care. That's always been a challenge for me.....the one thing at a time deal and also the slowing down, but I have to...to keep myself sane and to also help Richard not worry about me.

I wanted to show you my trades for Art Fest. They are all magnets with sweet little words on them. The pictures don't show the twinkling of the bottle caps or the beautiful colors of the square magnets or the round, glass ones....but they really are pretty. Of course I'm worrying about whether people will like them. It sounds like most people are doing charms....but this is what popped into my head and so......here they are!!!! I love positive messages.....I think these are messages that we all should remember!!!

So.....We are moving in four short weeks....AMAZING!!! We were able to get financing without a contingency so it looks like everything is GO for us!!! Here we sit....with a sweet, little new home and two other homes (a rental property and the big home we are living in right now) to sell. We could have to pay three mortgages......OMG.....!!!!! But....I am envisioning two famillies who are already looking for our homes for sale....they are searching, searching, searching....one for a small "starter" type home and one for a big, modern home (with a fantastic view)! They are out there....I KNOW that they are.

We have an Open House on the little house this Sunday....so that is our first priority. Both Richard and I are great at staging houses. But since the house has been rented for the last three years we do need to do some clean-up and fluffing before the Open House. It will be worth the work!!! The Open House on our current home will be on April 8th. Again, we know we can do it. It's just the work that will be exhausting. And.....I can only work as long as I stay healthy.......another difficult task for me!!!

Through it all, however, I know that Richard and I will remain an amazing team. Together we are pretty powerful. We both are so excited for our new home. Down sizing sounds so appealing. This will be our first home that we are buying just for us. Our kids are grown...it's just him and I and the three dogs and cat. The new house is perfect!!!!

I am so grateful for all that I have. The most important thing, however, is the beautiful relationships that I have in my life. I have Richard....he is such a gift. I have my family...our kids are all incredible. I have our extended family....who are all so supportive and loving and I have a group of miraculous friends who surround me with such joy, sparkle and acceptance. I am truly blessed.
