We have been doing some of this....(p.s. that isn't our home)
and some of this....(that is "us" buying a new home; p.s. that isn't the one we bought)
So these are some of the decisions that we have been making. It is always stressful to sell and buy a home. We have been extremely blessed to have peace through this time. Attending the temple and faithfully serving in our church callings and trying to live as we should have enabled us to feel that peace that comes from the spirit and to have heavenly help. We sold our home in about a month and I'm so glad for that. We did the fix ups, touch ups, and de-cluttering, and various home showings. I'm glad that that part is done. Add to the mix the need of some where new to move to and daily life and we were hopping. The kids miss some of their toys that we packed away already and other furniture items that are gone, but as our move date draws closer I'm getting more and more excited. It is sometimes hard to focus on the day and all the other tasks that must be accomplished in the mean time. YIKES! Gratefully it is all coming together and we hope that it continues to go smoothly.
Another thing that we are doing is this...
It is more me doing this but Spencer has been stepping up to help with the childcare and workload after he comes home from work. I have been taking this course online and loving it. So I get to try to stay organized and get back into the school groove but that is the fun part for me. I loved going to school (post secondary anyway) and I did fairly well. This course will serve us/me later on as I maybe look into re-entering the job market in the future. It is almost the perfect mix of legal/accounting/staying organized/focused. This is what I need right now for me in my life. I am doing it for me so I think that I'm really enjoying it and don't feel so much pressure. The course is 13 weeks and so I'll be done at the end of July. Wish me luck.
