We close on our South Florida home this coming Thursday. I hope our skies are this blue and that the new owners will enjoy this home as much as we have.
We'll move into our temporary apartment in the Tampa area this week and wait for our new home to be built. It'll be good to say, "Ahhh" at the end of this hectic week.
I will be posting each and every day, so please plan to come back. I always return visits and comments.

ReplyDeleteIt will probably be a rough week. Sometimes it helps to remember that when one door closes another opens. Rest as much as you can and don't forget to take care of you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the closure! Selling a house is a stressful thing, but once its all over its such a relief!
ReplyDeleteYou always have mixed emotions when you move, sad your leaving a home with memories and excited because you are moving to a new one to make new memories. Congratulations on closing, hope everything goes well for you!

With the view from your back yard I am not surprised that your home sold so quickly... Now you are almost in my back yard... We are just over the bridge in Pinellas County... Hope all goes well for you & your new home...
ReplyDelete(((HUGS)))
Donna
Best wishes for you these last few days. I bet they are exciting and a little nerve wracking at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMoving is never fun, but I am sure you and family will adjust well. I do so enjoy your Blue Monday post, and will to try to participate when I find nice blue items.
ReplyDeleteI know it will be hard handing over the keys. Just keep the image of your new house in your mind to get you through it.
ReplyDeleteYou gave me a good scare with the title of this post...I thought you were closing the door on Blue Monday.
I can only imagine what these weeks have been like for you packing up and now moving. Blessings on you as you move into the apartment and wait for your home to be built!!
ReplyDeleteMy first time to do Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteGoodluck with the home building and congrats on selling yours.
Blue skies for you!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on this new venture and chapter in your lives, Sally! I look forward to hearing about the progress of your home and settling into the apartment!
ReplyDeleteI have no blue monday post today but I had to see how things were going for you. We have lived in the same house for over 30 years, I can't even begin to imagine packing for a move! But I'm so excited for you in this adventure!
ReplyDeleteKathy b
Congrats on the closing! Exciting times for you. As well as up and down emotions too I am sure. Good luck with everything and stay safe as you travel to your new town.

You must be so excited .

I am very happy for you Sally.

Blessings to you .
Hugs
Hi Sally, Congrats---almost!!!! Soon you will begin your NEW life!!! WELL--it won't really be 'new' 'til your home is built. But--maybe the interim time will help you just getting to know people, finding doctors, churches, directions to get around the area, etc...
ReplyDeleteGIVEAWAY on my blog--today only!! Pass the word.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy
I hope this week's activities go smoothly and safely for you. Sally
ReplyDeleteI hope that everything goes smoothly at the closing! Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeletethat was strange, because I was absolutely certain I DID comment on the blue sky. But there has been a lot of trouble with blogspot access tody.
ReplyDeletemaybe my comment was lost in cyberspace. :(
Have a nice day :)
Sorry...didn't mean to pass by you.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo- congrats on the closing. Hope all goes smooth.Happy Blue Monday! This is such fun thanks for doing it!
Sally, I left you a comment last night, it's the 5th one on the list. But, I wanted to leave another one to thank you for letting me flaunt the "teal" today. I'm always a little hesitant to add too much about the cancer on my blog, for fear of it becoming too depressing and no one would want to come by, but Ovarian Cancer Awareness is near and dear to my heart, and reaching other women with the warnings is very important, so thank you again for allowing me to do that today on Blue Monday*!
ReplyDelete(((hugs))) _Ashley
Hi Sally, sorry I didn't leave you a comment earlier, I'm still playing catch up. I had to get to work this morning and I was running late. Thanks for being such a great hostess. So you're building a new home? That sounds exciting!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your closing and move this week. I just found your blog today and I really enjoy reading it!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you that you are closing, my best to you on building your new home . I am looking forward to you sharing this great adventure. Thank you for sharing.
Sue

ReplyDeleteHi Sally
ReplyDeleteIt's a little late but as they say better late than never. I thought I had left you a comment. I wrote it on my blog where I thanked you.
Happy Trails

Sorry for not leaving the comment and thanks for reminding me :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck for your moving! It is always very exciting but exhausting, too :)
Happy Blue Monday, Sally. I hope to participate next week.
ReplyDeleteThis must be a happy and sentimental week for you all at once. I'm a little lost on why you are moving and where your current home is. I noticed a few similar comments. Care to share??
I hope your week is as stress free as possible! :-)
xoxo
Jane
It has to be such a bittersweet week for you. Moving is trying but you have so much to look forward to! I am so pleased that the sale process has gone as quickly for you as it has!
ReplyDeleteI think I have told you that we lived in Tampa for 3 years and loved it.
I hope that the buiding process goes well and quickly and that soon you will be settled in your beautiful new home making new memories there!
Love,
Sue
