we are closing escrow on our house today.

Closed

This has been a whirlwind. A 31 day whirlwind. We fell in love with the house on Thursday 1/24, nine days before Paul was set to leave for six months, and today it's going to be ours.

I am grateful for an ON TOP OF IT realtor, SUPER HELPFUL parents, FANTASTIC military packers & movers, a SUPPORTIVE & APPRECIATIVE husband, my UNCANNY organization skills & an ability to TRUST my gut on BIG decisions.

Today all of our stuff got loaded into a truck. This afternoon and tomorrow morning are about starting and stopping utilities, cleaning like a crazy person, changing our address on everything, taking a glucose screening test for the baby girl, setting up a PO Box for the business, dropping off the cable box, ordering lamps (like this and this) and most likely wandering Target to look at rugs.

And then it's on to San Diego for the next adventure. I cannot wait to get the keys to that house.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
