(all images from our listing on Realtor.com. I don't have such a great wideangle lense.) Well folks, we did it! Our house is officially "on the market!" We decluttered and remodeled and worked our hinneys off and the house looks AMAZING (if I do say so myself.) So now we will wait.

But the days are just whipping by as we get ready for school to end, and I finish the book tour for the summer, and I am having trouble finding time (and energy) to share all the things I want to share.
