Just wanted you to know that I read you...Hi Becky! Just wanted you to know that I read your blog and am happy you are blogging again even with all the stuff that is going on in your life. Whew! It makes me tired just reading about it. I like your attitude about your new house. You can see both the pros (big yard, more space, nice neighborhood) and cons (holes, bugs, dirt) about it but know that what makes a house a happy home is the family that lives there. It sounds like most of what is wrong with the house is fixable. From what you have done with your current house to get it ready to show, both you and Dennis are very capable of working and fixing up your new home to make it your dream home. A scary and challenging, but exciting, time for you and the family. I think you are smart to just focus on "today". Things will run their course and everything will get done and all will be well. Give it to God to worry about. <br />Can't believe the comments you got about your house! With all the work you guys have done, I think your house looks great! Very comfy, attractive and livable. I love your kitchen. Don't take the comments personally. Usually it's people trying to get the price lowered by pointing out imagined "defects". They make stuff up. I remember when we were looking for a house and asked to see one on the spur of the moment. The owner said sure if we didn't mind that she hadn't had a chance to pick up stuff. We said not to worry, we understood and not to go to any extra trouble. We looked around and I thought it was nice to see how an actual family lived in the house with the toys and magazines and clothes still in place. It wasn't at all dirty, just a little cluttered, and it still looked nice. And it felt like a happy home, not just a house. I know the realtors want things to look like a showroom, and maybe that is the smart way to sell a house, but I don't think it makes or breaks things to have the house actually look like someone lives there! Anyway, I think you and Dennis are doing a wonderful job navigating this uncharted territory. Best of luck on this exciting new chapter of your life together. I'm looking forward to reading all about it! :) DeAnna L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17708880963410738342noreply@blogger.com
