So these past two weeks have been incredibly tough for many reasons...but the biggest two have been exhaustion and the f act that a cold morphed into a beast. I have been going off of adrenaline and this huge sense to get the house ready for market...feeling like I just can't quite get everything done that needs to get done...most especially spending any quality time with the kiddos. A nice blessing, though...every bit in the sense of Christmas 365...these two neighbors of mine, Heather and Lori, have been like angels on a mercy mission. Without ever having asked them for help, they have shown up pretty much every day this past week to paint and clean alongside me...and there is no way that this house could have been as ready as it is without their help. Thank you, Lord...and thank you Lori and Heather!
But tonight...so many things have come together...and now we are in the brink of our first journey to Alaska.
We have met with two realtors and will be making a decision soon as to who we will hire. The house is looking good and very near being ready to list. The children are spending this next week with their grandparents. We are packed and ready... In the morning, Heather will drop us off at the airport where we will fly to Dallas...and then on to Anchorage for our house-hunting trip. We will arrive on the summer solstice...the day the sun will rise at 4:20 a.m. and set at 11:42 p.m.
I have heard so many stories...from the scary to the fantastical...and everything in between...and tomorrow we will personally set foot in this new, incredible place often described as the last, true frontier in America...the place that will be home for a few years. Am I excited? I don't know what I am. I am going with an open mind...and I will share with you all as this adventure unfolds.
Look for pictures!
