We've now lived at my mom's house for a month. And we haven't been back to Aberdeen to check on the house in three and a half weeks. I think our neighbors would have called us if it burnt down, but I'm still really worried. We had to leave the heat on so our stuff wouldn't warp (and so it would be showable if the time ever comes for that) and something could go wrong. Or someone could have noticed that it's empty and gone and broken in through the back and the neighbor wouldn't notice. I just feel we should check in, you know? If we ignore it, we really WILL be living here forever.
I sent the papers in last week to list it, as well as the key, but haven't heard anything back from the agent yet. I'm going to give him a call tomorrow and find out if he received everything and if we're good to go or if we need to do anything else. I don't know why it took so long to get it done ... it must have been some sort of mental block, because once I actually sat down and did it, it didn't actually take very long at all.
We just have to keep on thinking happy positive thoughts for the future. Spring is almost here and people will be in happy house-buying moods and surely they'll like ours because, hey, it's really nice! I sure hope so because we really need to get out of here eventually and it does seem pretty silly to be paying a
mortgage on a home that we aren't even living in. I mean, sure, the deal we have set up now is still better than paying DOUBLE, which we could never afford, but I just want it sold. It's a buyer's market right now, right? C'mon people! BUY BUY BUY!!!!
