motivation

After months of endless waiting and cleaning, we have a contract on our house. I guess we're actually selling it. Please hold your applause till April 17th. That's when we go to closing. Yup, three weeks till moving day...how did that happen? Looks like we're gonna move into a rental the next street over while we build the new house. WOW. Talk about throwing us for a loop. I've been living in a state of constant cleanliness since school started. I have zero motivation to get up and do anything now. I could honestly sit on my couch and not care (too much) about how the house looks. OK, maybe that's not true, but seriously, I'm drained.
So, I need to give a shout-out to my peeps who've given me a reason to do what needs to be done.
Here goes:

Thank you Jenna,
The smell of Windex in your house made me want to clean my windows today. Sparkly.

Thank you Hilarie,
The mere mention of your chocolate chip cookies had me mixing up a batch of these. Mmm.

Thank you Jaesi,
Your fabulous pics of Puerto Rico reminded me it's almost swimsuit season. Dang Cookies.

Thank you Nicole and Brooke,
You make the best walking buddies for the impending swimsuit season. Two loops?

Thank you Charlene,
Seeing your sweet new baby today reminded me how sweet my big babies can be. Sometimes.

Thank you Rachel,
Since you never answer your phone I have more time to get things done around here. Brrring...Brrring...

Thank you President Obama,
Your speech tonight pushes American Idol to Wednesday night, so I have time to update this blog. And eat cookies.

So, thanks again guys.
I feel much better.
I'm here if you need anything.
You'll find me on the couch.

I guess congratulations are in order for the 17th. I'm pulling for ya! I'm sure everything will come together (including the packing) in no time! And... you'll probably still have time to sit on the couch =0).

SAWEET! now could you please find a home for me to buy?

And swimsuit season? honey....you blow us all out of the water!

I was looking foward to a couch potato night watching AI....tomorrow I guess.

Anna said...

Congratulations!! Was it the group that came by when we were at Wednesday lunch??

Shumaker said...

Nice. I am sure that you are ready for the 17th to get here already. Wouldn't it be nice to just snap a finger and everything already be done. If I could do that I would share the secret with you. Well let me know if you want help with anything. I am always happy to help.

LeAnn said...

That's great news!!! I'm crossing my fingers that all goes well (of course, very sad that when the house is built you guys will be in the...gasp...other ward). :)

Heather said...

Hooray! Good luck with everything until then. I for one am happy to know it is possible to sell a house these days. . .it will help me not worry so much about having to sell ours next spring!
Oh yeah, and we'll be excited to have you over in our ward as soon as the dream house is all finished!

Yeah for you! I think selling a house is one of the worst things I have ever had to. All I did was clean and stress that it wasn't clean enough! I hope it all goes through. I can't wait to hear all about your new house. I love the smell of new houses, I might have to come visit!

Brooke said...

I'm so happy for you guys! You have a busy 3 weeks ahead of you. I would love to help with anything you need.

Jenna said...

So excited for you guys...and even have a sense of relief, we've all been wishing this would happen ASAP for you guys! I really hope you do just sit on the couch and enjoy doing nothing for a bit...but I think if I actually came by and just saw ya lounging around, I'd pass out in shock. I know this has been pretty stressful, but I'm so glad you'll be able to build your new home, it's all worth it. Very busy weeks ahead, love to help in any way I can!
