SOLD!

We got an offer on our house this morning! It was the family from Friday night (the one's who's realtor left our door open). We got a full price offer, less a $6,000 allowance towards their closing costs. We are going to accept!!!

They want 60 day closing (not sure why) and at first DH was freaking out about it. Was worried we couldn't start building that late. I said well, the dang builder hasn't even gotten us the specs and pricing yet so we can get the 45 day approval process started with our bank, so at a minimum we are looking at mid July anyway. Then he called the builder and he was like "oh, end of July actually works much better for me". I can probably have your house done by November"!!

We are happy campers here right now :)

    1. Yes, it will be a bit different not being so close by, but for about 15 years (until my dad passed) she and my dad only lived here 5 or so months out of the year and lived in Arizona the rest of the time. She wasn't too worried about me then - haha! Honestly, I'll probably see her almost as much as I do now. We aren't quite as close as we always were, the deal with my son and her not listening to me when I needed to talk to her about it, kinda hurt me a lot.

    1. Thanks Anna! I guess I don't notice it so much, haha. One of these days I should re-read all my posts. At least the past 6 years I feel like we have made a lot more smart decisions than dumb decisions compared to all the years before that.
