So, there might be changes on the horizon for the Glade's. If you know us well, you know that none of us really like change. In fact, I think Mikaela is the only one of us that goes with the flow pretty easily. We've had some recent changes in our lives and with the kids getting older and with the ages they are, we decided to put our house on the market and see what happens. We've lived here for almost 10 years so this is a big deal for us. We're stepping out of our box a little, testing the waters a bit, taking it as it comes and seeing where it may lead us. Any one of those things are hard for us, you put them all together and whew! We're a little nervous but no one's had a panic attack yet so I think we're doing pretty good so far. I know some people can change and move easily but unfortunately, we AREN'T one of those lucky people. ;o) We're also not desperate to move and buyers are in the mindset that all sellers are so we might end up staying put and that's okay too.
It's been hard for this "type A" girl to let strangers tromp through our house without us here but it's starting to get a little easier as it's shown more and more. Being "type A" I like a clean house but it's hard to keep it in a state that it can be "show ready" with 15 minutes notice...especially with 3 kids and the youngest having toy tornado abilities and talents. You should see his work! I will go upstairs to just do a quick check and in that short period of time he would have toys all over the just picked up downstairs AND backyard. I swear, he would win gold medals if it was an olympic event! ;o)
It's been fun to look at houses every weekend. We've found a few that we like which is good to have in our pocket in case we get a good offer on ours. The hard part has been deciding if we want to keep the kids in the same schools they are now or branching out into the unknown. We've been here so long that we're now a part of a small town in a big town so it would be hard to leave.
But we will see how it goes and just take things as they come to us and go from there. We will definitely keep you posted! Wish us luck and more importantly, sanity. :O)
God will lead you in the Perfect direction! I know this is stressful, but in the right time it will be amazing!!! I love you guys so much! I wish we lived closer! It will be hard to imagine you guys in another house! :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I keep telling myself that and asking God to make it very obvious because we can be pretty clueless sometimes and I don't want there to be any mistake of what he thinks we should do. ;o) It WILL be hard to move. We have a DECADE of memories in this house...all the kids have grown up here...Kyler wasn't even one when we moved in. I get sad and nostalgic at just the thought of leaving this house behind. ;(
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer too...all the time! It would be so much fun! We would LOVE it! We love you guys more than words can say! XOXO
