Anyway, we have found a house much closer to Jeremy's work--which will take our commute down to 5 minutes (aaahhhh....)--it will be fun to see him for lunch on those days when we don't get to see him at all!!! But as much as we are excited for this house, and the convenience of it, we are truly heartbroken to leave!! We love, love, love it here! And needless to say, we have had many sleepless nights (and I even lost my voice--go figure--) over the stress of the decision. So, even though we are leaving (although I'm not sure when)--I will still be tagging along to a certain book club and to any kind of race or marathon that my running group participates in!
We have never had to sell a house before, and it is a little daunting that we kind of already own two houses. Not to mention how extremely annoying and frustrating it is to keep my house completely spotless at all hours of the day, just in case someone wants to see it! I have cleaned this house everyday for a week and have almost nothing to show for it--this will get old soon, I just know it. So, if I seem to be out of my mind--I probably am--too much potty training, house organizing and toxic cleaning fumes going around....
One cool thing though--our realtor provided us with a 'staging' service. I had a couple of decorators come over and for 2 hourse, set my house up like a model home. It was really fun! Although, I don't feel quite like I am in my own house anymore--I had to take down so many pictures...that was sad! But, it really does look great--I especially love the little tray on the bed--with the books, and mugs and reading glasses (yeah, like I'm going to set that up every morning....) but it makes a great picture! Here are some after shots:

It's so sad to see you guys go!! But your house sure looks great...I want to have a "stager" come to my house!! =) I'm sure you guys will sell quickly...good thing for the blogging world, so we can all still keep in touch with you!! =)
No, don't leave! I'm so sad.
I am so sad to hear that you are going to leave even if I totally understand your plight. :o(
I am still so upset about this... But your house looks GREAT! too good actually could you please mess it up some so that it won't sell? =) Kidding... kind of.
Wow your house looks great but does look de-lindsayied. You like that new word I just made up? Your bedroom looks lovely, just like a bed and breakfast. And it was nice to see your old childhood nightstand again.... :)
*sniff, sniff* So sad! Are you going to come down and go visiting teaching too? I need to borrow that stager for my not for sale house!
Lind's, where exactly are you moving. That's awesome! I'm sorry you have to leave your friends though.
You can do it girl!
I helped Jeremy put up your blinds in your living room. I'm going to miss those blinds. I know it's silly, but at least while you lived there I felt like you had a part of me in your house. Sad!!!
Sorry, Lindsay that you have to move. I get emotionally attached to things and of course people too, but so many memories. How far are ya'll moving? Sounds like you already have a house, do you like it, what it's like?
Hi Lindsay, your house looks so great. It will be hard to leave your friends and neighbors though. Is it very far that you have to move? Good luck .
