I talked with our real estate agent on Friday, and she thinks we should get the house on the market sooner rather than later. I agreed, but that means we have two weeks to get all the little (and big) jobs done before we list it. It hit me like a punch in the stomach. This is the biggest part of the transition (so far anyway): selling our home. I went home Friday afternoon and started painting…and continued painting all weekend.

We also made more definitive trailer-pick-up plans. We’re going to Michigan the second weekend in April. We’re excited, but nervous about entering the unknown world of RVing (which, apparently, is a verb). The Trip (with a capital T) will be great, but this transitional stage is tough–lots to sort out and arrange.

Danine’s family is vacationing in Narragansett, RI, in August and her brother is getting married in Connecticut in September. So we’ll head North in August to meet up with them, swing up to Maine, and then head South after the wedding. It’ll be fun to do a New England jaunt. Hopefully we can go back to Mount Desert Island, where we honeymooned eight years ago!
