Let it go …

— Kristen Anderson-Lopez and

Robert Lopez, from the movie Frozen

Well, we did it — we let it all go — the house we lived in for the last 18 years and the nearly 40 years of accumulation that came with it.

And, gosh, does it feel good! Tired, but good. 🙂

For the second time in a row, please forgive me for not posting my Journal Jot last Friday, but I’ve been a weeee bit busy with closings. Closing on our house in St. Louis, closing on our townhome at the Lake, and closing the door to a wonderful era in our lives.

But, oh, the new doors that are opening!!!

We feel SO much lighter (not weight-wise, trust me, because other than packing and moving boxes, exercise has gone by the wayside), but priority wise. Once we get truly settled, I hope to dive back into writing with a vengeance, so I will keep you posted on my progress right here on Journal Jots.

Sooo … since there are still boxes to unpack and weekend guests to entertain, I’m going to make this short and sweet with a few announcements and pix. Thanks for your patience with me these last few weeks, and I sure look forward to getting back to normal … whatever that is! 🙂

Hugs and Happy Weekend!

Julie
