So I changed my mind on the yard sale - just too much stuff to get rid of and that is the most economical way. I was planning to do one in Oct but didn't think my garage could take it that long. Fortunately Matty Flynn said he's doing one next week so I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and sell what I've got ready to sell. So everyday I purge just a little bit. I've also become obsessed with Space Bags. These are the coolest bags EVER!! I can fit so much clothes and bedding in them it's ridiculous!!! So far the only place I can actually see an impact in my purging is my office. I can kind of see an impact in my closet and based on the garage, I must be doing something!!!
Josh and I are diligently working on our Rosetta Stone as well. I'm a little nervous about it because so far I'm at high school level stuff which I've done before and am essentially just refreshing upon. But people swear by this software so I'm going to go with the assumption that once I get past the first group of lessons I'll see more improvement beyond what I already knew. I definitely swear at the software a lot - I'm not so good at trilling my "r"'s and the voice recognition doesn't particularly like that and tells me I'm wrong all the time. I don't like to be wrong! So it's kind of nice because I compete with the software - I'm determined that it's not going to tell me I'm wrong!!
In the meantime we got our travel plans for our Discovery trip today. We leave Sun, Nov 1 (they originally planned to have us leave on Halloween...um, no way!!!!) and return home on the 5th. So it will be a whirlwind trip. I expect we will be talking more to the real estate people in the next few weeks so I'm sure there will be an update related to this soon. But just knowing the trip is booked makes this more and more real!! I can't believe in a matter of months we'll be living in a new country, meeting new people and experiencing so many different things.
Julie & Josh
