There's rows and rows of houses...

So we will be putting our house on the market for the second time in about a year and a half next week. The difference between this time and the first time? We're actually making an effort to make our house look desirable during what appears to be the worst possible time in history to sell a house. This weekend holds the biggest challenge yet, which will include some painting, powerwashing, yardwork, and more de-cluttering.

Speaking of de-cluttering, we have a lot of stuff. That's actually why we need to move. Well, that and a bigger kitchen, more bathrooms, and central heat. The good thing is that it's an opportunity to "pre-pack" if you will. You know, pack everything away that you know you won't be using but are too stubborn to just throw away. That way if we're fortunate enough to find ourselves moving at some point, then a small battle has already been won.

My wife likes to obsess about something at all times, and once she obtains it she moves on to the next. I'm afraid that our overwhelming success at having a baby as soon as we tried may spoil her into thinking it's always that easy. Of course she knows it's not, but regardless of whatever is next on her list, I hope this one will be over with as soon as possible.
