So Many Things We Used To Take for Granted!

It has been a long time since I made a post so I'll just sum up our lives since our daughter's wedding in May. Don and I have been enjoying our time together whether we are cooking in the kitchen, shopping at the grocery, watching television, or even napping!! He does nap often with the Nexavar but as long as we schedule naps into his day we're good! We used to take busy days and lazy days in our lives for granted, but no longer. Bad day, boring day, lazy day, or crazy day - they're all good days in my book.

When Don was diagnosed we were in the process of building a new home and put a halt to the whole thing. Now, almost three years later we have dipped our toes into the uncertainty of the real estate world and just yesterday, put our home of 25 years up for sale. We have decided to try again to build the home that will take me back to the neighborhood where I grew up. Don told me yesterday that "nothing" is going to stop us this time and whatever happens, we will build this house, we will not be derailed again. I would be lying if I said my insides were not a jumbled mess and every time I see the For Sale sign out front my nerves rattle a little. I guess I'll be posting updates on this latest experience - but, I will tell you this, I am not looking forward to leaving my house each morning in a "ready to show" condition!! With two grown boys at home and 4 large dogs, show ready presents a challenge!
