Sold!
* Praise the Lord! With a total of thirteen days on the market, our house has sold! There were about six different showings yesterday, and we received a total of four different bids! The winning bid actually came in over our asking price! Now we just have to finish up with all of the various inspections. The local fire department came by last week for a safety inspection. We failed that one because we didn’t have our address numbers on the house itself. (the numbers have always been on the mailbox) No big deal there, I put up the numbers next to the door and the safety inspector came by, noticed that the numbers were up and presented us with our safety certificate! I still need to finish up painting Logan’s room. Yep, the wild dark blue ceiling is gone, replaced with a more neutral white. We told our real estate agent to ask the buyers what color they would like in that bedroom. I figure, if I’m painting anyway, I might as well put in the color that they want, and maybe save them from having to paint over whatever arbitrary color I would put in there on my own. We have a lot of stuff already packed up, but there is a great deal left before we can move. We just might hire a moving company this time to make things go a bit easier. Especially since Faith is pregnant, and with the three boys, it’ll probably be a good idea to let someone else handle as much of the move as we can afford.
In a way, it’s a bit sad to be saying goodbye to this house… There are so many memories here. Getting remarried on the back porch the day we moved in… All the different projects, from remodeling the bathrooms, the landscaping, building and then re-building Logan’s fort in the back yard… Good times were had here, that’s for sure.
