As the Fog Begins to Clear

ByFriday, all financial and property dealings will be "perfected", and life as the Taylor's know it, will assume a regular cadence of "new normal". Here is a summary of the past six weeks in bullet form:

• Almost sold a house in Mankato (after 30 months)
• Began refinancing our house in IC to secure a stronger financial position (and help pay for the sale of our house up north)
• Made arrangements for a new roof on the house in Mankato
• Finally sold the house in Mankato ... new roof now part of the offer
• Ran a Marathon (Fox Cities)
• Had a child (Chalupa) undergo spinal fusion surgery, spent 6 days in the hosptial.
• Ran another marathon (Twin Cities)
• Purchased a small business, Woofables
• Had a daughter get her Driver's License
• Closed the financing on the IC Home
• Maintained day jobs
• Maintained our teaching schedules
• Maintained cross country (running and coaching), tennis, soccer and piano schedules
• And last but not least... think we lost our sanity!

Whew. I am certain the next six weeks won't be so crazy, and you'll be pleased to know we've requested a dose of sanity for Christmas. Make no mistake, 2010 has been one of the most adventurous years of our "modern" lives. Good thing we wear seat belts!
