We're Here!

We are in Missouri!

Emmett and I and the boys drove down, leaving the girls with Mom and Meagan for two weeks. They've been doing really well. We've video called them a couple times, and Jubilee especially gets a real kick out of seeing us all. Saying goodbye at the end of the call is hard for her, though. But only a couple more days, and we'll be hitting the road again! Back to Utah, to return the truck and trailer, and spend a week at my mom's before getting on the road one last time, in our own happy little van, with the girls and all.

It's been odd not having them around, but I'm definitely grateful for the chance to get a few things done without their needing my attention.

Chase and Pixie are acclimating happily. They love the huge house with zillions of places to hide and snuggle. I've just started letting them outside, and they're pretty excited about that, too. I'm not sure if we'll need to enlist a neighbor to check on them this next week while we're in Utah, or if Emmett will just need to fly home early anyway to focus on work... we'll see.

Aahhhh!

The offer is accepted, the closing date is approaching. Emmett and I are spinning every spare brain cell imagining and considering the order and method of executing various updates, how much to spend versus pay off mortgage with out of the equity from this house...

This is the Place

On a plane again! Went to see the Princeton house. Definitely needs some serious work, but it is so gorgeous, and I think I love it. We even got the chance to speak in person with the owner and seller of the house. His grandparents and parents lived in that house, as well as himself and his first wife, and he has alot of love for the place. I told him how beautiful I think it is, and the plans we we're already imagining to repair and restore the old charm of the place. I hope I made a good and convincing impression. We're putting in an offer.
