Yes, it has been a million years since I have posted anything, but we have been busy. On Tuesday night we officially put our house on the market. After I went through the house with a fine tooth comb and only had one panic attack, we signed all the paperwork to have the For Sale sign placed in the front yard. The next trick will be finding just the right place for the three of us. We have already looked at several places and have begun to narrow down the search. It looks like we will end up pretty close to downtown, enough that we could walk to the state house if we so desire. That would be perfect in the summer since there is an adult kickball league that plays on the state house lawn and I have always wanted to check out the games. See, there are already benefits.
Things were not looking so rosey earlier this week. Tuesday as I laid awake in bed at 4:00 in the morning, Matt tried to console me on his way to team training. He told me that the house looked great and I should just relax. I then proceeded to introduce myself to him since he had obviously never met me before. At work, my boss' response was "that can be pretty stressful and you don't handle stress well." And the hits keep on coming. Finally, Matt came home that evening to find me sitting in the family room with a glass of milk and a bag of Oreos. Most who know me realize that I have to be pretty upset to eat Oreos since they contain high fructose corn syrup and I am a firm opponent to that form of sugar. I had gotten myself into such a state of panic that I was ready to call the whole thing off. Then our realtor Brian showed up with his associate Linda and they said the house was "show ready" and in great shape. Once I handed over the key, I felt so much better. Matt later asked me why I didn't believe him when he said the house looked great. Now, I have never heard him say a negative thing about my appearance, cooking, or weight so I just figured he was being nice. My mistake.
