The last month has been one of the craziest months of my life. It takes a lot to earn that title after you’ve been alive for 380+ months! I don’t even know where to start….just keep in mind that every second that was not filled with the madness detailed below was spent packing, cleaning, moving and stressing.
August 2 – we officially signed the documents on our new townhouse.
August 3 – helped host a bridal shower for Whitney during the day and hosted Heidi’s bachelorette party that evening.
August 6 – celebrated Lisa’s birthday.
August 10 – loaded up 2 moving trucks full of stuff headed for storage and a (amazing) friend’s garage.
August 12 – 16: coworker took vacation so I was flying solo.
August 12 – got to visit with a good friend who was in from Virginia
August 15 – bank appointment
August 16 – bought new appliances and lighting for the new house
August 17 – celebrated Collin’s birthday.
August 18 - celebrated Father in Law’s birthday. Moved mattresses and box springs to storage and moved in with Keith’s sister, Brenda.
August 19 – walk through with builder at new place
August 20 – official loan application at bank. Major drama with the inspection report on the house we were selling….full meltdown.

August 28 – celebrated Heidi’s birthday. Mild drama with Dan Ryan over decks, almost became homeless again….
Now there are a million and one other fun things mixed in there, but those are the majors. I realize this list is completely boring to read, but I’m thinking of it more as therapy….typing is cheaper than sitting on the couch!! Plus along the way some amazing friends (and husband) cheered me up with flowers, edible arrangements, spa giftcards, etc.
September isn’t going to be much calmer, I can feel it now, but hopefully by October, we should be settling in our new place. Through it all, I’m thankful for the madness…..this jungle is my life and I wouldn’t trade it…..
