Reason right now is the time to purchase!

    It is amazing how many people don't know that now is the time to sell! I know this is NOT what you have heard in the past but, they are wrong.
   The inventory is VERY low here; which means you are going to get noticed. Your home if priced right will fly off the market before you can clap your hands.
     Your home is still in winter mode there for you don't have to keep up the yard for the next month.  That is a huge perk for you!!! That means you can keep up the inside and not have to do too much to the outside.
     The buyers that are looking now are SERIOUS buyers. They are here to buy and they know what they want.

Why aren't you selling your home? Is it because of the number you saw on your tax form? I am here to tell you that number is VERY wrong. Let a professional come and look at your home and tell you what the market is doing.

I have been in the business a long time and a lot of what is happening out here will amaze you. What you hear isn't always what is under the mat. If you have been nervous about what your home is worth now is a great time to know where you stand.

weekend update

  flooding.  It has been COLD and when I say COLD I mean COLD for Idaho. We don't normally see -0 temperatures. We have always had a varitaty of temperatures ranging from the 40 to the 10 with a few days of rough zeros. Over the last month we were stuck under a large inversion that kept our temperatures very low. So low in fact that our drain for the washing machine FROZE. 
    We have spent the last few days surrounded by fans... They were horrible; loud enough that we couldn't hear to eat dinner.  Days later we had just gotten rid of them and we re-flooded our laundry room this morning. talk about craziness.

     On top of all of this I was suppose to be a FLOURISH this weekend. I was so looking forward to a relaxing weekend with a bunch of girls! Boise had a freezing ran storm on Thursday morning which led to me being stuck in Twin falls after both Boise and Salt Lake City were shut done. I never made it to Dallas or the ladies but, I did make it home to my family! Lots of weekend love!

Dear 2012

You have been both the best year and the worst. I have had big up and downs over the last twelve months. It is amazing how quickly your life can change in just a few short months.

This time last year we were getting ready for Sean's best friend Scot to move in with us. It was a scary uncertain time for me. We didn't really know what condition Scot was going to be in while he was here. At the time he was still in ICU and not speaking at all. Within a few weeks he was talking and walking, but his memory was still iffy.  January was hard and rewarding at the same time. I had changed my life to stay home and take care of Scot and the kids.

January and February were filled with struggles of a new and growing family. Sean and I were married in February and it was one of the best days of my life even with the weight of our lives before us. Lot of unknown were still hanging out there.  We were able to sneak away for two days and go snowboard, but came home quickly to our obligations.

March came and I had a radical hysterectomy. It was scary and relieved so much pain that I had been experiencing for months. It was followed by a breast reconstruction.

April and May were recovery time for Scot and I both. Sean and I struggled to stay positive through these months of trails. Money was tight and our emotions were raw.

June Scot returned to his life in Salt Lake with very little help from us. He did very well and relieved a lot of stress from our lives. It was both a positive and negative experience. It is hard to go through something like this with out a lot of growing pains. There was a lot of joy too. We were able to help him recover a life after almost losing his six month prior.

We also took a honeymoon a few weeks later and had an incredible time. The summer seemed to fly by with parties, swimming, rafting, and a lot of kids. It was great.

September came with a lot of changes. Eli started middle school at a new school. It is amazing how fast it all happens. Dakota is 8 and in second and started gymnastics at the same time. Corbynn entered her first year of all day school. They aren't our babies anymore. They have all entered child age.

October flu by couldn't tell you even tell you what happen there.

November was all about trips to see the family and coping with new schedules Seans work and how busy mine was getting. (oh yeah I took a job in the summer? See how well my memory works.)

December didn't even feel like it started and it is over. Work has been almost as crazy as my weight. Again entering 2013 we are back to working on our lives again.

Thanksgiving

We headed up the winding road to Montana for Thanksgiving this year with all the kids in tow. Which I have to admit 7 hours in the car with three kids is not always the best time, however they did amazing well. The first two hours are always the worst while kids get comfy and into the grove.
    The drive from Boise to Hamilton Mt is a very, very windy. All the kids thought they needed to play games and watch movies so you can imagine how it went when car sickness kicked in.  We made it in one piece with no vomit or fighting!

     Sean's parents are saddle makers and excellent ones at that. They do some amazing work. I love going out to the saddle shop and hanging out. The smell of leather brings me to another place. The amount of hard work that goes into a hand made saddle is incredible.

      Dakota spent most of her weekend out in the saddle shop with Bob stamping leather. She must of sat silently stamping away on her leather strips for six hours on Thursday morning before it was time for the feast with grandma. I love how comfortable she is with adults. She seems to find her adult and suck information out of them.

Corbynn was a total grump all weekend, but it turns out she had a UTI and was uncomfortable for most of the day on Thursday and all day Friday. We ended up having to do some in home treatment for her on Friday night after Grandma's 90th birthday party.

Speaking of grandma's 90th it is incredible how young 90 is these days. She lives on her own and has more energy than I do I think. NOT to mention she may be the most stylish 90 year old in the world.

Results

I have more problems calling for my results than I have getting them. I send my doctor to my voice mail at least once a week. I just don't want to know. I just want to hide out and believe that things are just as they were two weeks ago or two months ago.

My husband doesn't like my need for avoidance much. I think he believes that I am waiting to die when I just don't feel like changing in the moment.  I get tired of the smell of the doctors office. It isn't that I don't want to know it is just that I can't spend another hour there. Maybe if I don't answer the phone they won't ask me to come back. Horrible plan right?

Otherwise things are great! Koda's birthday party went great! They were SO excited.



Nothing more fun than Ice skating. The girls had a blast and so did I
