Things are starting to look up. We accepted an offer on the townhouse Saturday afternoon. We have a tentative closing date of Sept 28! Our house is scheduled to be completed Sept 8th & will be able to move in shortly after so we will be out of the townhouse by closing for the new owners.
There is a ton of stuff to get done & I need to pick out a few more things for the house. We have to pack up & move. We have to get paperwork together for the bank. We need to look into pricing things out for the house as well.
Must get back to my list making!

Difficult time & some pessimistic views
I still miss grandpa. Last week I broke down cried over it. My husband had my daughter outside teaching her how to cast her Mickey Mouse fishing pool. She was getting good at it for a 2 year old. He sent me a text telling me what she was doing so I could come see. I took a peek out the window & I lost it. I cried watching her. I cried because she will never have the opportunity to fish with my grandpa. I cried because all the memories of going fishing with him came rushing at me. I cried because I miss picking up the phone &; telling him whats going on. I will always cherish my time with him. It makes me smile when Madison says Grampy likes hot dogs & when her face lights up at hearing or seeing a train because he lives on in those moments.
One of my best friends lost her mom in June. She honored her mom's memory with a culadah ring with her mother's birthstone. She was sweet enough to get me one with my grandfather's birthstone. When I wear it I feel he is nearby keeping an eye on things.
Something else has been bugging me lately. I had a dream the other night. It was more of a memory really. A memory that came back to me in my dreams. It was of the last times I went to see him in the nursing home when he was talking. He said something about Madison being his only great grandchild, which to a degree is true but he said in a way that he had always known she would be his only one. Its not like he won't have other great-grandchildren, because he will. He just won't know them like he knew Madison.
It not just been things with Grandpa thought that have been difficult. My other issue has been selling the townhouse. We are getting so far into the building of the new house that I kind of lost hope of selling the townhouse & being able to move into the house we designed & built. I have resigned myself to the thought that we are going to lose our house because we won't able to sell the townhouse in a timely manner. As I stated to a few people already I have become the ultimate pessimist when it comes to the house because optimism just hasn't helped me out at all.
