Well, it is now official my home is on the market. As of July 1st my house became no longer my home, but my product to sell. The real estate agent said that typically you receive the most traffic during the first two weeks on the market. Of course, with this being a holiday week things have been a bit different. As a matter of fact, the first showing is occurring as I type this. I pray that those crossing the threshold of my home love it as much as I have. Selling my house is part of the closure of a previous chapter in my life. I will travel with the memories, but it is time to move on from the place.
One of my close friends is Catholic. She suggested that I go and get a St. Joseph statue. St. Joseph is the patron saint of homes. Supposedly you plant the small statue in your front yard, upside down, with St. Joseph facing your front door (unless you want to sell your neighbors homes). Once the house sells you are to dig up the statue, take it with you, and place it in your new home. I think that I will have to try this. What do I have to loose??
So, in the coming days, weeks, and hopefully not months I ask for your prayers, good energy, etc. that a fair offer will appear quickly.

In the military, because of so many moves and experiences many say home is where the Army sends us. I think moving and change can be exciting. The opprutunity to start fresh, create new memories, and an enviroment of warmth and peace. You will find that again. Who knows what God has in store... Love you! Ginger
I'm so glad you are blogging again Heather- I've missed you! Those pics from your trip look fabulous as well as reading about all that you enjoyed there! I am looking forward to hearing more of what is going on in your life- to me, it seems so full!
Merissa-You saying that my life "seems so full" almost brings me to tears. I sure that you know that sometimes when we are in the midst of a journey that we are blinded and we miss the light that is within it unless someone points it out to us. Thanks for reminding me of the fullness that exists if I only embrace it!
