"I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping..."

We spent the weekend super busy, cleaning, painting walls white, and going through all things cluttered. We can now official declare our house, dare I say it - organized.

I am mourning the loss of my striped walls, but hints of color still remain. I mean I couldn't completely erase myself from the space.



In fact - I am so tickled by this - at the first open house one of the visitors asked the Realtor if was a decorator!

On a grey afternoon we set out on the task of cleaning the coat closet. After all, with an Open House this Sunday, our closets must not be busting at the hinges, popping open, and spilling out all over potential buyers.

We came across 12 different wrapping paper rolls, 5 diplomas, 4 decks of cards, and a one gallon fish tank (used when Tiger the Koi spawned in our pond), but the best were the variety of canine fashion statements as modeled by "the boys".

"Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me"

Life has presented us a great opportunity to travel across the country from the sunshine state to the golden state. Our journey will be staggered with Patrick heading out first and myself following a few months later. And already its been a whirlwind of excitement and change.

In efforts to keep everyone up to date with all the news we have taken a nod from our favorite whirlwind love story blog and created this blog. Hope you enjoy! We'll be updating often.

Longer than the road that stretches out ahead"



We are about to embark on a great new adventure. But it all began with a house.

I can't hardly believe that there is a sign (a for sale sign) outside. When we staked it into the soil in the front lawn, I just stared...what is this foreign banner in the front of OUR house? Its time to let go, pack up, and get ready for a whole lot of new. Really this is easier said than done...for anyone who has opened one of my closets packing up is a v. big chore.
