Madness!

Lately I feel like I'm stuck in a bad dream and I can't wake up. It turns out selling our home wasn't the best idea. Packing up and leaving the home that we started our family was very, very hard. We put so much time and careful thought into that home, that it made it hard to leave behind. I sobbed in silence for days.

I'm sure there were other contributing factors to the sadness, but I was devastated when we drove away. For now, all of our belongings are in storage and we are homeless. Living out of bags and boxes is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I'm a homebody by nature, and not having a home or my own space is making me loony. This is only week 1.

Ray and I both have had our share of break downs but we are trying to remain optimistic that there are better things on the other side of this. We are leaving to go look at houses in a few short minutes, and we hope to have it narrowed down to a few by the end of the week.

Say an extra prayer for us,

SOLD!

In case you haven't heard we SOLD our home! What started out as an experiment, turned into a whirlwind. Ray and I got a wild hair one day and decided we'd try to put our home up for sale, just to see if we got any nibbles. Within 24 hours we had multiple calls, all of which turned out to be nothing. But, last Saturday while leaving for a birthday party, a couple drove by and wanted to take a tour. So, Ray being the nice guy he is, gave them a tour. They instantly liked it, and asked how soon we could be out? Crap! We weren't prepared to be out for another couple of months but what could we do? We had to jump at the opportunity. So that we did!

This is why I have been MIA. We've been busy and stressed, also trying to tie up all the loose ends. As it stands right now they are set to take over ownership in 20 days, while we are left homeless. But, hopefully not for long. We are confident that we will be moving on to bigger and better things. I know everything happens for a reason but, I'm struggling to find the reason in all this madness! If anyone wants to help, just hollar.
