Hello Faithful Readers … I got an email this week from Pamela. She noticed I hadn’t been posting much and wondered if everything was ok. Her thoughtfulness touched me and it occurred to me that others may be wondering the same thing. So here’s what’s up.
Our family is in a transitional phase. My husband was recently blessed with an excellent job the next state over – about 2 hours away. It’s near family and where my husband grew up. On top of that, I’ve jumped right into heading up a children’s program at the new church we’ll be attending. We could not be more thrilled. However, we have a home to sell. We have it priced low and we’re planning to take a loss in hopes that we’ll sell quickly. In the meantime, there is lots and LOTS of commuting going on in our family. I am tired – oh SO tired.
The little down time I have I try best to occupy with normal things for Chloe’s sake – bike rides, going to the playground, etc. This blog has been around for going on 2 years now. I love it and I don’t want to give it up – so I’m not going to. If 300 people unsubscribe – then I’ll go down to 200 readers I guess. That’s ok by me (alright … I will be sad). If you know me a little from reading my words then you know that having the right priorities is important to me. Right now – working on blog things doesn’t fit. Once we’ve moved things will be different for me and I’ll have a little more free time than before – I am dreaming of that time when I can dive back into things.
Until then … I’ll post when I can. As always, I’m humbled and grateful that you’ve chosen to stick around.
Why I do what I do ~ At bedtime prayers last night Chloe prayed ” … and keep Daddy safe in his trabels.” We’ve had lots of time apart and I almost started crying. Her caring and sensitive personality is so pure. No one makes her say those things or tells her she should – she just picks up on it. I’m just the one that’s blessed to witness it.Have you liked Domestic Cents on Facebook yet?

Good luck with selling your house and the move. My family is undergoing a transition as well. I start a new job tomorrow, back to the full-time corporate world that I left behind 5 years ago. I still have to decide what to do with my blog.

Good luck to you too Lisa!
Congratulations to you and your husband on your new roles!
Each time my parents sell a house – and they’ve moved a lot for my dad’s work – they sell it for the amount they paid for it. This is always after numerous improvements and impeccable maintenance during whatever time we were there. And you know what? They paid cash for their most recent house, in the nicest neighbourhood they’ve ever called home. I do believe selling them quick is better than trying to get top dollar, and I’ll pray that your house finds its new owner soon!

I HAVE missed your posts, but just guessed that you were taking
a summer break. Praise God for the next direction He’s leading
you into.
Hugs!

Good luck with the move & transition…I know times like this are stressful & tiring but hopefully it will be over & done soon and you can breath a little easier & have more family time together in your new home!
