| During painting process |
As I sit here now and type, I'm really in need to let things spill out. I have been under a lot of pressure and stress with getting the house up for sale and all that is involved with a 14 year long fixer upper with constant renovations and projects. As we close in to the last bits of projects and firming things up, I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel...kind of. The reality is that I don't think I will ever really feel like everything is finished.

| After paint, something to love |
We just met with the first of a few agents to discuss the sale of the home. I have put off any agents in Tremonton for now due to my inability to do all at the same time. Plus, why would we look to buy without knowing whether we've sold our own? Once our home is on the market, it will seem more feasible.

| After 2 |
My emotions and energies are in every direction right now. We have some personal family things going on that are weighing on me. The fear of crying is that once I get started, it takes all I have to get a hold of myself. Before we knew about them, I was having trouble with our back door neighbor. There is always something, isn't there? When it rains it pours, both physically and emotionally, right? Well it is pouring right now! One of my New Year's resolutions this year was to journal and make lists every day. I finished my first notebook of to-do lists last week and have moved on. Each day is loaded with lists of things to do, relishing Sundays in my need for Sabbath observance and the refreshing sense of renewal it offers. I have found that day to truly be a day of delight. I'm able to organize my thoughts and allow things to fall into priority. I have really needed to rely in my Father in Heaven for the peace and assurance that we can make it through these bumps. It really helps to know that He is placing us where we need to be. Over the years of making truly blessed bonds with friends and congregation here, those relationships are hard to leave. I'm feeling the weight of it, but will be sure to feel it heavier when things settle in Tremonton.
Now that I have expressed my thoughts, though scrambled as they are, I have to get back to the business of life. There is always something to paint, and even more somethings to clean...and pack.Here's to life, and the future it holds.
