I've been having a lot of thoughts lately, to-do lists running through my head, (what-if lists too) but unbelievably, no "I'd rather be" lists. I've had a quote running thruogh my head from the Disney movie "Up" when Mr. Fredrickson and Russell are watching "Ellie" the house float away.
Russel: "Sorry about your house Mr. Fredrickson."
Mr. Fredrickson: "Ya know, it's just a house."
Words to live by right now.
We close on the short-sale of our on Friday. Baby steps (moving boxes) until Friday. We are so blessed to be released from our house, mortgages, stress, and the chains that would have otherwise dragged us down to where I know not. We are SOOO blessed to sell, even short sale and we've been released from all remaining deficiencies on the house, another miracle. Thats been it in a nutshell. How do you nutshell this experience? It has been a series of miracles from A to Z and there is no denying it. I'm so grateful for the spirit of peace we've had through this experience. Because of that peace all the other 'things' that have come up have been easier to handle. I'm thankful for my ever faithful husband who, when my faith is lacking, supports me and I'm so thankful for the strengh to support him when he needs it.

It seems the only time I have to post anything here, I don't have time to grab pictures, or I'm not on my computer with the pictures. Ugh. I do want to share some details of my birthday/Halloween weekend.
Everything came back great from the buyer's lender's appraisal, so that cleared, then we had the home inspector come on Saturday morning at 8. We found this out on Friday night, so I went to trunk or treat with the girls and left Tim to clean in his usual amazing way without kids to blaze a path of destruction behind him. The girls had fun at trunk or treat, or candy fest as I call it, and their costumes were great.
Saturday morning I ran 11 miles faster than I have ever run (yay me!) because I had to be back to shower and get the kids out of the house by 8 for Tim to tidy and go through the house with the inspector. That all went great (the inspector even said it's one of the nicest houses he's seen in a long time). We came home and ate lunch and got in costume for the Hocus Pocus Pops at the Phoenix Symphony with the kids. It was a hoot! We had a good time with the kids and they quite liked it too. Yay music!!
Sunday was a mellow day, and rather than trick or treating, we went to show off costumes at the grandparent's houses. The girls had plenty of candy and had a good time. I'll eventually get pictures up, but for now we're packing and getting out of the house by Nov 24. We have a lot coming up, so I'll do my best to keep updated...
Thanks for reading.
