Saying good-bye to our first home

 Well folks, two HUGE resolutions are occurring this weekend!  Both are "fixed" and were not actually pulled from the bucket; however, the truly are resolutions! 

Friday's resolution:   SELL THE HOUSE.   That's right. There is cause for some serious celebration!  Our Florida house has a closing date of Friday.  A young couple basically just won the housing lottery.  I'm so happy that the short sale was approved and that we have no financial obligations after the closing (Thank you realty lawyer).  This couple's mortgage payment will be freaking pocket change.  It makes me ill to think about the price.  But, it will be off of our backs.  We have been waiting for this since August 1, 2011.

It is a bitter sweet moment.  This was our first owned home. This is where we were married, Scarlett was born, cabinets were refinished (by hand - by us), paint was splattered, wall paper was stripped, a garage was built, a backyard fenced in, flowers planted, and more memories that can be identified were made.  We love(d) this house.  It has a great spirit.  We can only hope that this next couple feels its love as well.

Saturday's resolution:    GET MUDDY.

My 10K 30-obstacle mud run is this Saturday morning.  I'm getting pumped up and cannot wait to post pictures!   We leave for Jacksonville tonight!




The resolutions from earlier this week:

Tuesday: Move furniture around

If you are anything like me, then you have to rearrange at least one room every few months.  I don't know why I need this, but I really do.  Tuesday I went all out.  I moved the dining room, Scarlett's wooden (heavy) kitchen and toy boxes, the master bedroom, and some rugs.  My back is still killing me, but I'm happy (for the moment) with the changes!

Wednesday: Wash the car

Today: Be colorful   (I'm in my hot pink Bootcamp top!)
