New Life- Week 32 (Buckle Up)

The holiday season is alway such a busy time of year, but this year the crazy seems to be starting early.  Our family experienced some big, exciting changes this week that are really going to amp up the crazy level.  Wednesday was my birthday and, as the ultimate birthday gift, after a year and a half on and off the market, we got an offer on our house.  It was both unbelievably exciting and stressful.  We were scheduled to leave town the next morning and now needed to get pre approved and start house hunting.

With an accepted offer and no other plans we headed off for a little family vacay.  We went to Eagle Crest Resort in central Oregon.  Honestly, it was the perfect short getaway.  Since everything has to be done with Covid in mind we got our own little cabin off of Airbnb.  At the resort we swam in the indoor pool, played pickleball, played horseshoes, and played on the playground.  Everything was done via reservation so it was very safe.  We also found a great bike trail by the house and spent lots of time in the hot tub.  We were all a little sad to go home yesterday, but it started to get really cold and actually started snowing as we drove away.  We decided it was ok to head home since we wouldn't really be able to do all the fun outdoor things we had enjoyed just the day before.  Oh, one other thing, the resort and our cabin were right on a golf course that was home to a family of deer that seemed to have no fear of people.  At any given time there were at least 6 deer hanging out on the golf course.

We are home now and it's time to get serious on house hunting.  We saw six house today.  A few of them were nice but I don't think any of them were our next home.  We'll see.  I am surprisingly calm.  I really feel like right thing will work itself out.











Oh, also, we came home from the trip to this basket of goodies from a couple of neighbors for my birthday and this note was in my mailbox from another neighbor.  I am actually super sad to leave my neighbors and I hope we can stay close!
