I have several challeges rolled into a big challenge. We closed on our new house a couple of weeks ago and my husband is working feverishly to get the upgrades and repairs completed so we can move in.
After we move in, it’s time to do upgrades on our house and sell it. We go back and forth on how much money we need to put into our house to sell it, I’ve stopped having the conversation. I know he has changed his mind because he is doing upgrades we had not planned on. YEAH!!!!!
Then there is timing of the contractors at the same time pushing hard because we would like to have our house on the market by May.
My health and hand conditions don’t allow me to pack as fast or as heavy as in the past. I have been in charge of picking out a few pieces of furniture we need and decorating. The last thing we are doing before moving in is having a maid service do a move-in clean so we can’t pack the house with boxes for them to deal with. I was there yesterday stuffing everything in cabinets to clear the counters.
The big unknows are what is next in my TMJ Therapy and if my right thumb needs surgery.
Not to mention all the money we are spending after being savers all these years. I have to remember, I don’t like this house and we have saved for 23 years to make my dream house a reality.
Not to worry, God has me in his palm.

It’s been less than two years since we moved, so I remember how much work it can be. I’m glad you’re getting help with the cleaning service. It is hard to know how much to fix and to shift gears to spending the money after being in the habit of saving. Remember to breathe deeply, take care of yourself, and that it’s all going to work out. You’re going to love decorating your dream home, just take your sweet time with that and enjoy!

I’m trying to chill. David wants to go look at the furniture I’ve picked out this afternoon. I haven’t been to the store, Nebraska Furniture Mart but they are huge, huge superstores. It’s hard to get excited about walking that much. We’ll get there. He has worked so hard to make the house everything I want, I truely appreciate that the Penney pinching does not apply.

I’m so happy for you, that you’re able to move into your dream home! I know moves are challenging, especially when you’re having to juggle as much as you are right now. As you said, though, God has you in the palm of His hand and will help you through all of these challenges. And just think — it will be so worth it when you’re finally able to relax and settle into the home of your dreams!

I’m very excited and agree we need to have the house on the market by May for those moving schools. All I can do it what I can. David is cool, it’s my quilt.
