Things are pretty slow at work today, so I thought it might be a good time for a blog post. Brandon's been gone for just over a month now and everything is moving along. We still talk to him and FaceTime him often. The time difference makes that difficult sometimes, but we make it work.
The house selling is going well. I originally intended to have it on the market around March 1st. There was so much going on at the time that it really stressed me out. I finally just realized it couldn't be done and told myself I will get it up when I am done. I've switched to focusing on one thing at a time. Once that one thing is done, then I will focus on the next big thing I need to do. Once I changed to this mindset, I have felt so much better. Everything seemed to be piling on at the same time, but I didn't have to figure it all out at once.
So the house went up on Friday the 17th and we went into contract the following Monday. Now we are working on things like appraisal and inspection, so hopefully it continues to go well. My focus has now shifted to finding our temporary place to stay once we close.
The kids are taking everything well. They are such little troopers, hanging in there even though I know a lot of things have been tough lately. I know I haven't spent as much time with them as I would like to, but they are pretty understanding.
We got notification a few days ago that our Finnish residence permits have been approved, so we are one step closer to moving. A pretty big step too. Brandon is only allowed to work there for 90 days before having a residence permit, so we're glad to hear that they are on their way and should be here in plenty of time for me to send his over to him.
One step at a time!
