Just an update to let you know what we decided about the land and house - Keith called a family meeting to talk about it.  The kids and I do want the place, and I think Keith does, too, but we cannot buy it until we sell our house.  So, we have to all pitch in and help him get things done around here.  It'll take a while, but it will be a lot easier on Keith, and faster, if we all help.  So, if the property is still available after we can get this house sold, we'll probably go for it!  We'll just let the Lord work it all out.  If it sells before we can get it, we'll just assume that it wasn't meant for us in the first place, and that He's got a better place for us. 

Here's a partial list of projects we need to do around here before we can list it to sell:

1.  Redo the kids' bathroom.  (Started on that last night.)

2.  New tile in entry way.

3.  New carpet in living room, hall, and bedrooms.

4.  Do something to the wood floor in dining room (the water heater leaked and got under the wood floor and it buckled up. )

5.  New paint inside and out.

6.  DECLUTTER!!!!

For my part, #6 will be the hardest on me.  All five of us are pack rats, and it'll be pretty much up to me to decide what goes and what stays.  I have a really hard time doing this, so somehow I will have to just buckle down and do it.  I know I'll feel much better after it's all done.

Have a wonderful day today!

Blessings,

Carol

I think your Dh is very wise. Plus you are wise in knowing what will make life easier on him. What neat family dynamics you have, it's good to read a blog that is uplifting each other in the family.

Carol,
Good luck with all the plans you have! Selling a house can be challenging! It's one of my least favorite things to do! Moving is a good time to de-clutter for sure! Good luck!

Wish I was near to help you out dear friend...I hate decluttering my own home but doing for someone else is easy....lol... When I de clutter, I decided to throw out anything that I do not use within one or two years. That helps...But, now right after it goes to the junk pile and hauled away, that is when I could of used it...lol...Just the luck!!!!!!! Good luck and remember rest when you can.....Debie
