Planning Thru The Wait

In case you aren’t a regular reader, you might not know we’re trying to sell our house. *rolls eyes* I’m pretty sure the entire world knows by this point. We are ready to move on to our next place, and while we haven’t been listed long, it feels like its been years. Our ad went up on Monday and I have to hold myself back from texting my realtor and inquire if he’s got any leads. Because everyone HATES that person. I’m confident that I would know if someone was wanting to come see it. But we wait. And I twiddle my thumbs.

So today, I started doing this silly thing. I’m not sure if its actually a good idea, or a bad one, but I think it works on two levels. I’ve said to my family for a while now that I have a really big desire to be able to throw parties at my house for all of the people that I love. Now, I know I can do that here too. My house is a completely respectable size, and there wouldn’t be anything really holding us back. However, we’re pretty far away and our company often has to leave a bit early due to the length of the drive, or the weather conditions, if its winter. I hate that. Also, straight up, I want to entertain this hypothetical group of people somewhere that I am happy and joyful and proud of. I really really want to entertain people in the house that we have been dreaming of for the past three or four years.

Yes. I’m planning a party. A party for everyone. Seriously. My desire is for this party to be a housewarming party in our new location. If you’re reading this and thinking “Well, she doesn’t mean me, she doesn’t even know I read this,” I mean you!! YOU are invited!!! I’m Pinteresting the kids nap time away, looking at DELICIOUS food ideas, favors, decor, etc. I’m thinking games are lame, yes? Anyway, I know its May, and this all sounds nuts, but seriously, this is my very real desire. I’ve been saying this whole time that I want to be in our new house by Christmas, and if we do get to build, our timeline is getting tighter and tighter. The reality is that it will be a winter party, which I am more than fine with!

We all know that there is a possibility that my house won’t be sold in time (but not a big one, right Chris?) so I’m thinking that, if we’re still here through the winter, then we’ll just shift gears a teeny bit and instead, throw a really great Christmas party!!

Deal? Is everyone coming??
