House news

We received an offer on our house!!!!!!!! It was only on the market two weeks and even then just a sign in the yard but we received an offer!!!!!!!!!! God works in very mysterious ways which is fine with me! This means that Matt can put in his two week notice, pack up the rest of things and move up here with me!! Unfortunately this means that I will also have to give up sole control of the remote control but I'll do that if it means having Matt closer!!

Two weeks!! Hard to believe!! And the couple who is buying it fell in love with the house's charm (like I did. I knew it was the house for us when I walked into the pantry and saw the floor to ceiling original cabinets) so since they love the house's charm this means that they will probably work to keep it that way, not gut it and put in modern walls that look out of place in a 1910s Craftsman. (This is what I'm telling myself since I'm a little heartbroken that we're selling it but that's life and I don't want to commute four hours each day.)

Now to tell the cats that they're not going to be able to sleep all night on Matt's side of the bed anymore....

If you weren't such a great person I think that I would hate you. Can I be just a little jealous? Or are you giving your house away :-) Of course, our place has been on the market forever....

I really think all this means it's truly right, that things are the way they are supposed to be. I mean, of course they are. I am so glad you have buyers who are in love with your house. :)

That is great news! I hope some of your good house selling luck can rub off on my folks' house! Or maybe you could just pass it along to them now that you don't need it anymore? Congrats!
