Selling The Dragonfly/Joy Immersion

Week before last we had some very bad news. We've had something unexpected come up and we are going to have to sell our Apple Valley home "The Dragonfly". We are all very sad about it. Our whole family is very attached to that home.

For me, it was the longest I'd ever lived in one place. I brought my toddlers there to start a new life. Mason and Jonah went to high school there. It was the place I brought home Max and Sophia. And although the move to Cedar was necessary, I never planned on making this my home. We always planned to go home for the holidays, and then retire there. It has been a good home to us. In so many ways.

Having to sell our second home is really a first world problem right? We're still bummed, but trying to look on the bright side. That home has helped us through a lot and now it's going to help us one last time. Plus we get all our nice furniture back so we have that to look forward to ;-)

The best way I know how to change my mood, when dissapointing things happen, is joy immersion. So, since my last post, we have done lots of fun things.

We started the weekend by dressing Sophie warm and heading to the New Harmony Apple Festival early in the morning.

Then we took the kids swimming at the Marriott...

We had some company for dinner...

Grandpa Chad

And some old neighbors...

The following week was full of cuteness. Max's pumpkins multiplied lol

Then he decided he'd had enough of them and asked Jason if he could throw them over the balcony. Which they did haha!

Sophia's cuteness...

Went out with friends...

Played on the couch with dad...

Took the kids on walks after dinner...

Went to a cool pioneer museum...

Visited a spooky headstone for halloween fun ;-)

It reads "bitten by rabid coyote. developed rabies. became violent. was smothered with feather bed."

And topped it off with ice cream...

All tuckered out now!
