Waiting for speed to pick up...

Getting ready to move feels like slowly climbing a big hill on a bicycle and as soon as we reach a certain point, we'll start the downhill portion and once we get rolling, it's going to pick up speed and take us on a wild ride.

We contacted a realtor this week and will be setting up a preliminary appointment to look at what our house might be worth, what we should or shouldn't fix up, and how the selling process might go.  A lot hinges on this first big step.

If it all goes well, we'll make appointments with mortgage loan officers and start the process to get preapproved for a new home loan; contact a realtor from our desired area to move to and look at what the process of buying looks like. 

Then I believe life will become chaotic as we go through the active part of the journey to move.  I'm nervous about it, excited about the potential, and looking forward to settling back into a more normal lifestyle again after everything is all said and done. 

We dropped the kids off with family today and spent the day working on the house and packing.  I've packed almost all of my fragile items and a good majority of our non-essentials.  I'm constantly amazed at the amount of STUFF we own.  Despite the numerous trips to the thrift store donation station even!

We're also in our last month of homeschooling.  We have the flexibility to delay things until later in the summer if needed, but I'm hoping we can finish most things before the moving process gets crazy. Only God knows and I pray for His guidance as we take each next step!
