What's Up With Me

So many months without posting, what's up with that?  Well, there is a reason... Brenda and I have embarked on an unexpected adventure.  We were talking during our drive home from yet another Ironman event, and discovered deep seeded desires which helped us consider the reality of selling our house in Salt Lake, where we have lived almost nineteen years.  We realized it was time to start the next chapter of our lives.

It seems like decisions of this magnitude should take time to come to fruition, but not in our case.  Fourteen days after talking about this possibility, we found ourselves needing a distraction when our Labrador was in the doggie hospital overnight (all is well, that's a post all in itself).  We took a drive to look at a few lots for sale in the Wasatch Back area and happened upon one that we both loved and another that we really liked.  We set up an appointment with the realtor to officially "see" both properties and six days after that put an offer on the lot we both loved.  This was less than one month after we talked about the possibility of making a change.  Then, the day after our offer, we accepted the seller's counteroffer and went under contract for a 4-acre, beautifully fenced lot at the base of the Uintah mountains.  We are preparing and hoping for an official closing in a few weeks.  My how things change.
