July 2007 quickly slipped away and it’s already the first day of August. I woke feeling so many emotions and its crazy the thoughts that zoom by. My first and foremost emotion must be EXCITEMENT. I’m so ready to get on with it this month as this is our last month in Texas, so hard to believe. We’re Excited about new beginnings in a brand new area. And it’s so good to finally feel the big wheels turning as Bobby and I are discussing the details daily.

A ‘little’ pang of anxiety here and there doesn’t hurt.

• The realtor scheduled our first “open house” this Saturday and another open house the following weekend.
• The repair man is here fixing the tile as I type, no big deal. But he does not take off his dirty shoes when he enters the house, nor does he use my mat outside to wipe them off. There is red mud tracked all the way up my white carpet stairs and all the way through my bedroom. Be still oh my soul!
• We’re moving everything from the attic to storage so we don’t have to deal with that on move day. Our movers have agreed to physically go to our storage unit (equivalent to a one car garage) and move everything there as well as all the contents in the house, so that helps.
• The rest of the week I plan to clean things completely out of the guest room closets to have them nice for the open house. Then all that stuff will be boxed and taken to storage.
• Bobby plans to take this Friday off so that we can get lots done before the weekend. That helps my anxiety level smooth to a more peaceful state.

The really strange thing I’m feeling right now is disbelief. We are going through all the motions but it’s just not sinking in. I have the feeling that we are going to wake up very soon in NY and not even know what hit us. Big Smiles, but is the day really coming? It sure doesn’t feel like it. We’re really looking forward to our new home sweet home.
