our present, our future

forgive my lack of writing.  i hope to improve in the future.


here is the house we are leaving.  officially on the market as of yesterday.

i think that in my next life i am going to be a realtor, just so i can write the descriptions of the homes.

here is the home we are moving to.  it is quirky,  but i see it as a huge blessing. 

if you should decide to pray for our transition, i would feel grateful.  saying goodbye to houston is so terribly hard.  i cry at almost anything these days.  i even teared up at the library when i realized i didn't need to do the extended checkout because i won't be here on Sept. 1st.  boo.

never have i been so tired, and yet still had so much to do. 
i have some pictures of my tireless helpers, but i cannot bear the process of dealing with the photos right now.  i just wanted to give thanks to everyone who has either helped me beyond whatever help i could have imagined on my house (namely LaLa, Poppe, Kelly and Sloane), or has helped me by watching and loving my boys while our home looks like a hurricane - GoGo and PaPa, the Calloways, Maggie and George, Anke and Matthias, Dan and Rachel.  I will forever get teary eyed when i think about how grateful i am to you all. 

now there is more:

organizing

washing

painting

sweeping

taping

and folding
