Oh My Goodness! An Offer

One of the many things on my plate right now is selling my house. Nate and I are considering moving to Vegas, but even if we didn't, my house just isn't the right location - too far from his job and we'd like to find a place "together". So, the house went up on the market 2 weeks ago. In a market where the average selling time is 120 days, I thought I was in for the long haul. Lo and behold, I got a full price offer yesterday! Maybe someone's trying to tell me something :) Anyway, there are some conditions this new buyer has to meet, so we'll see if the deal comes through. If so, we'll have to be out by May 30th. We're going to Vegas this weekend to check it out, do some wedding planning, and look at some houses. Maybe I'll feel better about selling my house after seeing some new stuff. I'm having a little "seller's remorse" right now, even if I know it's the right thing.

As for wedding planning, the dress is coming along. I'm still not sure I'm in love with it, but I hope the changes we're making will improve it. The neckline has to come down a little. Why is it that no one can make a dress with sleeves anymore?? It's truly ridiculous. This whole dress shopping thing and having to shop in Utah and over the internet just to find a modest dress is so crazy. My veil should be coming this week. I'm excited about that. There's something about a veil that just brings things together and makes it real :) Speaking of which - 37 days!!! Holy Cow!

I'm writing from Boston right now (a last-minute business trip). Just what I need - more work travel while I try to pull this wedding together. I'm looking forward to our trip this weekend. We're even going to get our marriage license - only in Vegas is the clerk's office open 24 hours on the weekends! Ha Ha.

A first foray into blogging . . .

I have so many friends with blogs now and I love reading them! It's fun to get another window into their lives and perhaps it satisfies the voyeur that lives in me (and in all of us, I think :)) So, here goes nothing!!!

There is so much crazy stuff happening in my life right now. I'm trying to plan a wedding (April 20!), keep afloat at work, sell my house, keep the house spotless for the "lookers", and achieve some of the goals I have set in my head without exploding! I can't wait until the wedding is here, the honeymoon is complete and things get back to normal. Not that I want to rush the wedding or the honeymoon. I will relish those days . . . but for now, I'm focusing on the future and trying to stay sane by knowing that it will all be calmer and better in 2 months.

Today the house is mostly spotless, but I've still got organizing to do. The closets are a little scary. Perhaps that will be this weekend's project. I've got the time. It's stake conference weekend, so no sunbeams!!! I look forward to a germ-free weekend.

Until later . . .
