Under Contract

It only took a little over 2 weeks, but we are under contract on our house. It is such a relief to have one part of the moving process being worked on, as I was really worried that the house would sit on the market forever. As I have been telling myself, things will work out the way they are meant to be! The buyer is going to let us stay in the house until it is time for us to move in June, which was a great relief as well. There have been a bunch of inspections the past few days, but it is nice to be able to leave the house a mess again. :)

On the market!

Brian and I did a ton of work around the house this weekend, getting it ready to be put on the market. The realtor suggested moving a couple of pieces of furniture out of the house, so we decided to get a storage space for a few months until the house is under contract. Saturday involved renting a uHaul and then several trips to the storage space, moving furniture and many boxes. I like that I am able to get some things packed up a little ahead of time, but it made me realize how much stuff we have, and what a pain it is going to be to move. Andrew loved, loved, loved the uhaul truck, and thought it was so fun that his daddy was driving it.

Sunday involved a lot of touch up painting, more packing, general organizing, moving furniture, and cleaning the carpets. I also had to patch a couple of spots where the 'popcorn' ceiling had been damaged. I will just put it on the record that I HATE popcorn ceilings, and if anyone knows of a good way to repair it, PLEASE let me know.

Is the house ready? Not quite, but we're close. I feel like it will show well, as long as there aren't toys all over the place. But it is now officially on the market!
