Listed… Day 620 26JUL10

We listed our house today. It is officially for sale in hopes that we can get it sold on a short sale before the bank forecloses on us. Our friend Liane from the Man and Woman of the year campaign is helping us and we are glad that she is. This is a scary time and we are glad that we are dealing with someone we know. We keep telling ourselves it is just a house and in reality it is. We have put a lot of blood and sweat into this place but we can do that again somewhere else and we will some day. So now we begin the process of loading our stuff into boxes and trying to thin out our possessions and accumulations to a more manageable level. Fun times…

Joshua went to clinic this morning and got his labs done. His ANC came back at 518. Considerably lower than we had hoped for. Dr. Ross Bach checked him over and signed off on him going to camp so tomorrow he will finally go to Camp Boggy Creek. Renee has him all packed and ready to go. I am afraid we are both freaking out about having our baby gone for a whole week, we just can't help it. I know he will be amazingly well cared for and will no doubt have the time of his life this next week. But we will still worry a bit while he is away. His ankle is still bothering him and he needs to take it a little easier than he has been. The mysterious fever has left and not seen fit to return which is great. Jarrod spent the day working on creating Alpha Rex, a humanoid, out of his MindStorm kit. I hope to have pictures tomorrow if he gets it where he is happy with how it works.

So tonight Renee and I fill out paperwork for the house and hope that things go better than they have so far. We still have faith that they will.

So happy for Joshua! Camp Boggy Creek will be a great time, ankle sprain or not, they will take good care of your precious son. He is near and dear to a lot of people.

Jarrod I am sure will surprise us with a highly unusual humanoid from MindStorm. He is so smart and creative.

Glad you got the house posted for sale. That's the beginning. This roller coaster ride will smooth out and in the meantime know that you are all loved and we would do anything to make it easier.
