Rowing our boat

After our family spent a week in Colorado, we were all in. We knew that Colorado was our place. It would be our future (and hopefully permanent) home. (Click here to read about it if you missed my last post)

But how could we make this happen?

Ted told me about the “Row the Boat” philosophy where we were going to put our oars in the water and get our “boats” to Colorado. We focused on doing everything to get us there, STOP doing anything that won’t get us there.

Our first step was to sell our home. We had a comfortable home, with fantastic neighbors, in a great neighborhood. We loved our community. It was a HARD decision, but selling our house was our first step in rowing our boat and would give us freedom and the ability to move forward.

We put our house on the market.

Have you ever tried keeping a house spotless, every single day, from top to bottom — with four little children? I hope to never have to do that again. They sure are cute, but they are messy! It’s kind of a BLUR about how I made that happen, but it was summer, so we stayed OUTSIDE as much as possible. We also ate way too much fast food and take out so I didn’t have a mess in the kitchen. I think I also hid most of their toys.

Thankfully, our house sold in 3 weeks!

But wait, our house SOLD. Now what!?
