On the move!


Life is funny sometimes.

About, oh… 19 (or 20?) months ago, we decided to sell our house. It was a decision we agonized over. Like most people who bought when we did, the market didn’t quite turn out how we thought it would. Unique to us was the situation of our house and the massive amount of money we would need to invest in making our house merely functional. In the end, we decided to move forward with the short sale, considering baby #2 was on the way a little sooner than expected.

“Move forward” is not a term that should ever be associated with the sale of our home. Perhaps “creep forward, slide backward, stall, and then scoot one millimeter forward” might fit.

Today we got the miraculous news that we’re officially approved.  And we close on July 25. As in, 20 days. Also, a Wednesday. Also, the busiest time of our busiest month. The Saturday before that, the 21st, is already busy with all kinds of festivities. So, it looks like we’re moving the 14th. As in, less than 10 days.

Although we’re thrilled to be at the end of this road, the irony is not lost on me that we have waited MONTHS and MONTHS and now we have less than 10 days. As maddening as it is, we'll make it happen somehow!
