Thank goodness for family. If it wasn’t for my sister and my mom, I’m pretty sure we would’ve been overrun. All things considered (including only 45 minutes of sleep and too much theft), we did really great! I loved watching things that we once enjoyed go to someone who’s eyes lit up at the sight of it.
I failed to get a photo of Zeb and his lemonade and homemade cookie stand. But let me tell you, he’s rolling in the dough (haha very punny). Great customer service, that kid, but he pays his staff lousy. 
Now we’re packing things up for a local women’s shelter, cleaning the house and helping my sister and her family (including that ridiculously cute kid up there) move in. One of our dogs has moved in with Justin’s mom where he will be spoiled with affection; the other is very old and (cue violins) when talking to my sister about my concern over introducing her into a new environment she took pity on her and offered to keep her here!
I’m exhausted, sore all over and getting more nervous by the moment. And that sleeping situation? I’ve found a foam pad makes a great substitute when you’ve sold your mattress but aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to your bedroom.

I’m so enthralled with your present moment Tara. Loving the photo vibe too, it’s like your creating this nostalgic feel already.
Beautiful and may good intentions sent your way.
I’m so excited for you guys!!!!!!!!!! Can you feel it all the way from across the country?
Now, let’s see if we can coordinate your arrival with Amy Steinberg’s, so we can a big ol party when you get here.
I have been thinking of you and wondering how it all went. You must be wiped! Glad it went well, and that it is now a thing of the past. Now rest. You deserve it
It’s so exciting to be living in this moment with you!!

Hi- I’m another lurker who found you through Sara Jannsen’s blog. I’ve been reading for a few weeks and am so excited for you. I can only imagine how scary that first step will be. We are planning a similar lifestyle upheaval in the next couple years and I already feel a little sad about the thought of leaving our little house in Montana. But big adventures await!
Good luck to you and happy travels!
I’m just so happy you found someone to live in your home. That must be such a relief. And, it’s family. And, they will love on your ole doggie. Awesome. It must feel good and things are working out.
Time for a relaxing bath, eh? Congrats on getting rid of all the extra stuff. How liberating! I’m excited that we live in a house now and can start having yard sales. Time to declutter!
Oh, and so wonderful you found homes for your dogs!
wow, sounds like things are moving along fast, so glad that it is all working out and coming together for you, and so enjoying taking the journey with you. Best of luck for the next steps. Take care, all three of you x x
Relax, focus, and breath. That’s the only advice I can give you at this very moment in your progress.
