It’s SOLD!!
Well I tempted the readers in the last post that there was some big news coming and, to sum it up, I’ve sold my house! I’ve been wanting to get out of it for a few months now, before that pesky adjustable rate mortgage adjusts and before any other large life-changing events take place, and now, it’s done! I had no idea just how stressful it really is selling a house. Fortunately, there were no realtors involved and it didn’t even go on the market, I just sold it as-is. It took what seemed like forever to get all my stuff boxed up and moved to storage, but I did finish with the help of family and friends and now it feels as though a huge weight is lifted from my shoulders. Not only that, but now I’m closer to my farm and don’t have to make the drive to town during off hours. I hope for everyone who is selling real estate that it goes as well or better than mine did!
New Vacation!
I was able to take a little vacation this summer to Colorado Springs, CO! It was on the heels of a company trip to Cisco Networkers in Anaheim, CA. I took a few more days and got to go see Tom & Corinna and Hollis and chill for a few days, then Tom & I went camping for a few days and did some really cool hiking from Farish Recreational area to Rampart Reservoir and another day to Stanley Reservoir. The area is beautiful and the weather was great. The temperatures were in the low 80’s(F) humidity was very low, and the sun was out almost the entire time; at night it was cool enough that a fire was a very welcome thing. We were hiking at an average elevation of about 8600 feet, and I really didn’t have a problem with it, even on the day we did over 10 miles! I was pretty happy with that considering my recent illness. Now I’m back in town and super busy getting ready for lots of change! I was able to get some awesome pictures of Pike’s Peak on the last day we were camping; it was morning and the clouds had cleared just for me! Hopefully after next Thursday I’ll have more big news… how’s that for a teaser?
