Listed.

Yesterday we finally got most things in order and listed this old house.

Here's a few pics:

The following are pics I nabbed from a listing site (taken by our realtor), so great pictures, but possibly not the best quality...

I'm exhausted just thinking about the work it took to get things to this point.

Yes, I will like a smaller house. I might even enjoy a tiny house hahahaha

Shilo came for a visit on Thursday... just in time to help clean.

Mauri started training at her new job as a lifeguard on Friday while Shi and I endlessly and excruciatingly worked on the house.

Later that day, our realtor -- and friend -- asked if we would like tickets to An American in Paris that evening. 

I couldn't turn the offer down, despite our fatigue. Thankfully Bill was on board, too, since he was equally exhausted. We quickly got ready and headed downtown.

For memory's sake I have to mention that I had not had a shower since Monday (ain't nobody got time for that... haha apparently I am the only one). I know. Gross. I even had specks of paint in my hair. Thank heavens for wipes, clean clothes, dry shampoo, and perfume, right??

It was good to get away from the house business and take the girls to a show we didn't have to fork over big bucks for ;-) Mauri, who almost didn't go due to other plans with friends that night, LOVED it. The performers were amazing... we chatted about how good they were, and how talented at singing, dancing, AND acting. And it wasn't just any ol' dancing, it was super technical. Needless to say, it was a good choice, even if Bill and I took a brief dozer -- or two -- during the long dance scenes haha.

The other thing helping me to keep on keeping on... my almost daily updates on these beauties:

I love them so much.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned here, but Britt and Austin are expecting a BOY in August. We are so so excited for them (and for us!).

Wish me luck on keeping the house in show condition for the next month or two. I'm hoping for a quick sale at top dollar. Hahaha, a girl can dream.
