Oh Canada

Oh Canada...our heaven on earth. Fabulous week....horrendous drive. August has flown by...vacation and came home to first week of school and packing hell. We will survive! But below are just a few of the pictures ( ha just a few! ) couldn't have enjoyed the kids more.

Sold!

Under contract so crossing fingers all goes well.

Move out in 30 days! Ek! We have a general idea of what we will be doing, but that could change...huge decision people.  Downsizing...committed, ready and on board, but where to go...Im a creature of habit and like my routine and where I live...to go west is a huge deal for me to consider.

Sigh.  We will figure it out.

I will mention this...Im not terribly creative but after 7 homes in 7 years one thing I know is that I just have to make a house MINE. Put my personal stamp on it...im absolutely drawn to project houses I realize, or just a bit of a project that when I walk in I can envision fun changes.  New is great, easy - but bland.  That's the dilemma.  We are leaning towards new for a variety of reasons, but im drawn to older SLC...Tree lined streets, larger yards, old homes that need work and a loving hand.  BUT this move is about simplifying our life/time/money and a fixer requires all that and more...

Going to move in with my mother until we figure it out and find/build a place so wish us luck on the next chapter!

House pics

The house is clean.  No easy feat these days, its up on the MLS and here are just a few pictures of our home we are now selling, missing a few bedrooms, bathroom and yard pics but you get the idea....
