Colorado and De-stressed

No stress here.

Before I get started, forgive me if I repeat anything from yesterday's post today because I wrote "Stressed" such a long time ago I don't have a clue what I actually said. Ooops.

My last post was about stress and right now I'm feeling anything but.  I've been in Colorado at the 'rents' house (did anyone else read Seventeen...if not, I'm REALLY sorry about that reference. It's bad). Anyway, we've been here for two weeks and I am in full blown Colorado summer mode. Man, I love June in this state! We've been doing everything Colorado, especially Boulder, since my parents are still here. Pearl St., hiking at Chataqua, Scott Carpenter Park, Boulder Creek, Moe's, Efrain's, boat rides at the res, the list goes on and on. Will was able to come out for the first week and only worked ONE day...major victory around here...so we were able to get some much needed family time in. He's since gone home and the girls and I have been solo. A little weird at first, I missed him a lot, but now I'm in the swing of it and we're having a blast.



"Izzie Park." We bring an Izzie every time we
go. Don't even know the park's real name.

In other news, the house STILL has not sold which was the source of much of my stress and what inspired this trip to Colorado in the first place. I couldn't handle another showing, keeping a house clean-like perfect clean-with kids and a dog is near impossible. So we decided to jump ship and fly west. 
I think our house is finally priced right, our first realtor was not doing us any favors in that department. Our first realtor wasn't really doing us any favors actually. In fact, it got pretty ugly there for a while. Now we've got the right realtor, the right price and hopefully the right buyer is writing their offer now! Hey, a little positive thinking never hurt anybody! This will all shake out soon. Wishing I had a crystal ball because I'd love to know what's going to happen here. Not worrying about it anymore though and couldn't be happier than to be spending some time in CO so it's aaalllll good.

Overall, things are turning up. Not sure how many of you follow me on FB or we are still in touch but a few months ago I found out that I not only owed $3800 for a semester of grad. school that I didn't attend but I'd also received all "F"s for those classes, that I again, never attended. I'd registered for classes prior to finding out about the move to FL and failed to officially withdraw from the university. I accept responsibility for the mistake, but it truly was on oversight. While I'll never get the money back...lesson learned, and an expensive one at that...I was able to appeal the grades and was notified last week that my "F"s were reversed and will no longer count toward my GPA. All of a sudden transferring into UCF to finish my master's is looking possible again. Holler!

Needless to say, the stress level around here is way down. I've got some other REALLY exciting news that I'll share soon (NO, I'M NOT PREGNANT). I'm still in that giddy, nervous stage, but the ball is rolling and I couldn't be happier. Can't wait to tell you all about it so check back in!
