Caught one! I told you we've been hunting for a new home. We reserved a lot at Solera, a Del Webb developement in Chandler, Arizona. (We picked out the Saguaro model....B Elevation with that cute little blip of a golf cart garage which we'll probably never use for anything but storage.)

We weren't satisfied with the amount of stress piled in our lives with a daughter getting married at the end of the month, a son taking SAT tests for college entrance requirements, the same son working hard to get good grades for his final year of high school, and the same son hoping to get scholarships for college. Did I mention that our daughter is getting married at the end of the month? Oh yea, that's right. I did. We even took a trip to Vegas to take care of some of the details. And I got a royal flush playing video poker sometime between visits to see the caterer and visits to meet with the wedding co-ordinator.

Tomorrow we go out and sign a contract for the new house and then sometime next week we meet with the money people and then sometime before the wedding we pick out our flooring and stuff like that but it would be nice if we could do that after the wedding if we can talk them into delaying that and then sometime in April or May we can start moving stuff into our new and smaller home in an active adult community and then we can hopefully have an offer already for the house we're in right now and gradually get rid of everything that won't fit into the new house from the old house that we don't want to take to Wisconsin to keep up there at that house? All this without disrupting our high school senior's life too much. Oops. I forgot that the landscaper is supposed to come by next week to overseed our lawn so that the grass will be green for prospective buyers. Do I sound scattered? Gotta love the stress. Where would I be without it? As a plus, our high school senior made Who's Who Among American High School Students, 2002-2003. Anyone want to buy a copy of their publication? They also sell mugs...and key chains.
