Sigh.
In what is the last push to work on the house and possibly meet with a realtor to see if we can actually list this the house, I am worn. Painting just about everything that stands still takes some time and some elbow grease. As well as the little things: making sure all light bulbs are working, hanging light fixtures, cleaning cabinets and walls, the list goes on.
As a result of trying to mark things off the list, I have found a sense of pride in our home. For sure it has its own issues, and we are too far from work for the man of the house, but in painting and cleaning there is a bit of renewed sense of what drew us to this house all those years ago.
I know that when the sign does go up (Lord willing by the end of this calendar year), it will be bittersweet. And I know that when it does actually sell (Lord willing without sitting on the market for a loooooong time), it will be cause me to catch my breath. All my babies came home to this house. It has been home. For over a decade.
I pray and hope that when the time comes, this house will give to another family what it has given to us. Comfort. Love. Family. Memories. Home.
