Climb your heart out (36/365)


Explorer (35/365)


Remember: You are the money maker! (34/365)

Doesn't look that scary does it?

Not until you see it from this angle: See the crack to the right of that tree? That is the ledge that Dan is jumping across! It is just wide enough for a person to slide all the way to the bottom of the canyon. In Kristen's words to Grayson when he was jumping across, "Remember, you are the money maker!"




Lone and dreary world (33/365)

I wore them out (32/365)

Two professional cleaners, one awesome sister in law, my best friend and neighbor, and I worked our butts off to deep clean the house, make it smell good, touch up a lot of paint (just how in the world does one's door frames get so scuffed, nicked, scratched, and dirty?) all for the first showing of the house.
Whew. It was close. Here's the aftermath:

Two worn out girls. Were going swimming tonight while the realtors have our second and third showings. Hope someone makes an offer......

I feel so accomplished (31/365)


Here is my bedroom that I have worked so hard to cuten up. Originally this was the office, but Dan and I competing for the one desk, when we both work from home, was getting kind of ridiculous.

(Sorry for the close up. I only have my 50mm right now. I lent my wide angle out to a friend and she just had a baby, so I'm thinking I won't get that lens back for a while. Who would want to make that call: "hi, um, I know you just had a baby and are in the hospital, but I need my lens back so I can take pictures of my pillows......." silence. ;) not me.)

Do you like my lampshade? I covered it myself. And I framed the fabric on the wall.

I've got skilz. Just kidding.

The time has come....(30/365)

to sell our house. Our home. Our neighborhood. We have the coolest, laidback, friendly neighborhood. I feel like we are selling out from the neighborhood. Right down the street is the elementary school where many of our neighbors work. I am very happy, yet also have a feeling of longing for the perfect little elementary school experience for my sweeties. I am happy with the hope that a new little family will move in and get to have a great experience. Maybe East Coast schools can be great too?
