MORE Changes

After a year of us buying our first house, it's officially on the market.  We've had it listed for a couple of weeks now and I'm already sick of it.

We've had probably 12 different showings and we've received absolutely no feedback from any of the showings.  I don't know why I'm like this, but I go into complete freak mode every morning before work trying to get the house ready in case we get a call about a time someone is coming by.  I've read so many things online about tips on selling your house, so we try to keep it smelling nice (with 2 dogs running around), clutter free and keep as much "personal" stuff out of view as possible.  It sucks!

Ryan keeps reminding me that there's no rush to sell the house and there's no need to freak out, but I just can't help it!  I'm taking the selling process more personal than I should....I'm probably not the first woman to do that....

If anyone has any home-selling advice, please share!

On an even crazier "is this really your life?" note, Ryan quit his new job.  Yes, the one he started 2 weeks ago.  I won't go into details, but he had a fantastic job opportunity land in his lap that he couldn't pass up.  So now instead of him working in Quantico, he has less of a commute and will be having to drive to Ft AP Hill for most days.  This is still about an hour away from where we live, but it's much more manageable.

I'm incredibly proud of him for landing this job, because it sounds like he's going to be challenged and has a ton of opportunity for growth and for learning.  If you're wondering what he'll be doing, I've been told I can say that he'll be a case matter expert in IEDs and will be the trainer of these types of things in a classroom setting.  Don't ask me anything more than that because I have no clue!

He'll start his new new job on Tuesday.  I really, really hope that this job is what's going to stick for a while!

I've come to accept that change is a part of life and our life together will probably never really feel "normal" or "settled".   It keeps me on my toes, so all I can really say now is

HEEEEERRRREEEEEEE WEEEEEE GOOOOOOOOO AGAINNNNN!!
