Painters, stagers, realtors, landscaping, storage spaces, and cleaners OH MY! Our life is literally upside down! It’s all a part of the ride we signed up for so don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not complaining , nooooo. It’s exciting , to be sure! But man, It’s moving along much faster than I could have envisioned. And my stomach gets a bit tight at unexpected moments. Yesterday when I walked into the house there was a crew of painters in there and my beautiful colors were gone! Not all the colors were gone but the ceilings are all white now. If you don’t know me, I am not a fan of white, is white ‘really’ a color? I just love to surround myself with cheery color. I knew the painters were starting this week but I thought they were starting the exterior first so I was kinda surprised when I walked in the house, to see the interior started. I had to turn around and walk back out to Scotts truck and just cry. Scott saw me crying and said (after a chuckle) are you crying because your sad or happy??? “I don’t knowwwww!” I have a strange feeling that will not be the last of the tears. This is a transition of emmence proportions ! A change that I’m very excited about but also very aware, even more so lately, of the magnitude of change we are initiating. I’m so grateful to be doing this with my best friend! Although I think he’s wondering who this cry-baby is at the moment. Humph! Onward and upward! Did I hear someone say ADVENTURE??? I might need some kleenex for this portion of the ride.
Let The Adventure "Continue"! 
You are thinking you need a bunch of Kleenex, and I am thinking I will need meds! I hear there are some good one’s out there lol! Having not gone through what you are going through (but knowing I am just a year out), I do not have words of wisdom except that you will react differently everyday depending on what is happening that day. Lean on Scott, but also make sure he isn’t keeping things closed up. Keep communication open with him, your daughter, friends and use this blog to vent. And know that it will all be great, no amazing, in the end. It will take months and perhaps a year or so to settle down, but it is all what you make of it. (I will practice what I preach next year.) For today, take a walk, get fresh air and BREATHE.
