On the market...


After hours and hours and more hours of painting, cleaning, organizing, weeding, rearranging furniture and every other thing you can think of to prepare a house to sell, the house is officially on the market and I'm REALLY tired! We still have some little things to do - but the bulk of it is done. Anyway - here's the link to our listing: http://www.rakin.com/list/halsey/halseydetails.html We had 3 showings today and supposedly one is intersted. Think good thoughts for us!!

Moving across the pond...


We're moving to LONDON! ...which, with the exception of a few vague comments in earlier posts, I'm just realizing I haven't talked much about until now! Actually - it just became official today. Wade spent most of November in the UK exploring a opportunity to work there for his current employer. Since then life has been a flurry of "maybes" and "what-ifs" and "just in case we moves"! We've been so busy working on the logistics of all of this, that there hasn't been time for much else - thus the lack of blogs. Now that it's official though, I can put all of the preparations we've made in to action. The house goes on the market Friday, so there's tons to do. I just broke away from cleaning under the fridge to write this blog! Amazing what finds it's way under your fridge in almost 2 years. Sick! Wade starts February 4th, so we have almost 2 months (minus the 2 weeks we're in Utah for Christmas) to sell our house, cars, any furniture that's not worth storing (about half of what we own), get everyone squared away with doctor and dentist appointments, secure passports, visas, and work permits, buy all the things that are too expensive to wait and buy in London and do all the other 10,000 little things that need to be done before we go - all while I try to give my kids some kind of closure to their lives here. Yes, I'm freaking out just a little! We're excited though...even Drew thinks he's excited (although when Wade told him we might not have a back yard - he was NOT happy!). I'll try to keep everyone posted...obviously I haven't had time to blog since it's been 3 weeks since my last!
