We have decided to scratch the idea of selling our house for the time being. We are going to make the conscious decision to be happy where we are. We always keep our eyes open to new opportunities no matter if that is a new car, house or whatever, but for now we will be happy where we are. Luckily, there isn't anything wrong at all with where we are and the itch to move has come and gone.
We have started to make decisions on improvements and re-decorating for our house. It is already pretty satisfying and I'm glad we didn't jump too fast. We have purchased new coach lights for the front of our house and I've ordered a new duvet for our bed. I'm most excited for my new canvases to arrive! I finally ordered some great canvases of the family portraits that we took a few months ago and will start to re-do our living room once those arrive. The new pictures will be displayed above our fireplace and the painting that is currently there will find a new permanent place in our home. The only part of this process that I really don't like is that everything I want to do is expensive and that I can't do it all at once, I'm not a patient person. Doing things piece by piece is another thing that I am going to have to tell myself to be happy with, and remind myself that I really am lucky to be able to do almost everything I want in our home even if it is a slow process.
I'm looking forward to getting to so many projects in our home! I'll keep you all posted on the progress as I get to each project! There are so many parts that I'm excited about but there are also plenty that I'm excited to get over with, like organizing our garage. The garage is a top priority for Chad and while I want it done, I don't want to waste my weekends getting it completed. Same with our garden, I'll be very happy once clearing it out and the plating is over. Wish us luck!
Abby will be starting her second season of volleyball this evening, she is very excited! She is a natural athlete and loves being active, I hope she keeps that passion her entire life!
Grace has her UIL competition for band next week, she is looking forward to it! Chad is taking the day off and we will be watching her competition, we're confident she will do great!
Orin had a nasty fall about two weeks ago at school, where he scraped his face pretty badly and broke his glasses on his face. I was able to replace his glasses the same day and he is almost completely healed.
Chad is doing great things, kicking butt and taking names. I'm so proud of him!
I've been keeping busy with our kids, spending time with friends while the kids are at school and occasionally teaching. I'm teaching two full days this week and I'm really looking forward to it!
I hope everyone reading this has a great leap day and a fantastic week ahead! xoxo
Until next time, count your blessings! :)
