Many Changes...all for the better!

This has been a long month. We found a house we want to buy, got approved for financing, put an offer in on said house (which was accepted contingent on our house getting sold) and put our house on the market all within the space of about 6 weeks. Whew! Now we have been patiently waiting for someone to decide to buy ours. Of course we have to keep it spotless in case anyone wants to come see it. Do you know how hard it is to keep a house clean when you have kids and grandkids? Let's just say it has been interesting. We have already boxed up and moved to storage ( at James' brother's house) a huge trailer load. That way it is our of the way. Our realtor called it "decluttering". I laughed at her and said "Oh you mean get rid of a bunch of junk so people can actually see the rooms!!" It does look nice now. James and I did a bunch of fixing and painting and finish work. It is nice to be in a house that is clean and tidy and fresh. We finally got an offer today, which we counter- offered. I just hope it all works out for us. I am ready to move forward with life. I've lived in our house for 19 years in June. That is a long time to be in one house. Well I'm off to lunch and hopefully will hear from our realtor this afternoon. Woo Hoo!!!
