Hello! Life has been crazy and hectic around here for us lately. We are trying to get our house on the market in the next couple weeks. I have been doing tons of organizing, selling, throwing away things, giving away things, fixing things, packing, and the list goes on. I have my handy man on his toes too! Painting, fixing, moving, hauling, listening to my bitch and complain, and his list goes on too. We are practically giving our house away and are actually going to be short atleast $10,000 plus the cost of the realtor on top of that. So, we will actually be paying for this house for a loooong time down the road even when we are not living here. Doesn't that sound awesome?! If you know anyone looking in the Wyoming area, please send them our way. Also, if you have a long lost distant relative with money can you send them our way too?? Kidding, but I am seriously super stressed about it all. We DO NOT want to be in this house for 10 more years, we are told Wyoming is at the bottom of the market. Worse than inner city GR, due to the fact that the taxes are so stinkin' high here. Waiting any longer here our house is just losing more and more value. If someone is willing to stay here for 10 years I am sure the value and market are going to turn around eventually, but we do not want to be here long enough to see that. Anyway... our house looks awesome! Better than it has the whole time we have lived here I think. :) Funny how that works isn't it!? There are a couple things on the list for this weekend to get finished up, but then hopefully it is what it is and we are not putting any more money into this house. Hopefully a sign will be in the yard very soon!
On a different note- My girl starts Kindergarten in 2 1/2 weeks! It is truly unfathomable to me. She is growing way too fast for me! And of course, as always, she is usually one step ahead of the game. She thinks she has it all figured out already. I am afraid she is in for a huge awakening. She does have to get shots next week too, in order to go to school, and she is NOT excited about them at all. Her friends have told her that they had to get 4 shots, and she is not okay with that number at all. So, soon enough, my little 4 year old is headed to full day kindergarten. :(
I had applied for a supervisor position at work, and unfortunately did not get the job. But, I did request my interview scores, and I actually scored awesome! They had some very nice things to say about me, and I hope that I am in line for a chance again real soon. There is talk of an early retirement going through this fall, which would clear a lot of our employees right on out of there. I do realize also, that I am quite young and have a looooong number of working years left in my life and I know my time will come to shine. Some day.
The place Jer has been working for most of the year is still providing him with work up until this point, so we continue to be happy with that getting us by. The lack of income on paper is not great for us trying to find a house in the near future, but fortunately I can qualify for a loan based on my income alone. So... if he keeps him busy, he keeps taking the hours.
Not much else really going on with us. We hope everyone is great! I pray once things settle down a little I can take some time to catch up on pics, and actually start taking more again too! So... praying things settle down for us soon, and that someone falls in love with our house and is willing to pay what we need for it.
Love From Us to You!
