Before Bob passed we decided to build a new home, back in January. We signed an agreement on a lot, but hadn't moved on picking house stuff like cabinets, carpet and door handles yet. The second stroke happened and it took us until after Bob passed to get our current home listed. In the meantime, we learned Bob had left his home to us. So, what seemed so overwhelming fell into place and someone fell in love with our current starter home and bought it (the first couple who even came through the house!) and we had a place to live while our new one was being built. It's been a wonderful mix of grief, elation, bewilderment and joy.
We're settled into Bob's "mid-century modern bungalow" which means it's small and old. The baby loves it, the dog loves it, the cats love it, and I'm becoming more okay with it. The hubs loves that it's free and we have no house payment for a few months! Here's a LO that I did, redid and redid about our new home. This was journaled just two days after we sold our house:

Stick with me, I'm working on some fun posts! In the coming month I'll have a few recaps of Digiscrapapalooza including some software tips that have changed my scrapping life, details on the changes at Mousescrappers (go check them out!), fave layouts from April, review of SuzyQ Scraps new e-book Terrific Title Tricks and some thoughts on gallery comments and leaving love.
So, tell me about your last 49 days? Whirlwind, Tilt-A-Whirl or Calm, Cool, Collected?
