The move
Heck, I've been so busy the last few weeks getting ready to move I forgot to post that we're moving. :)
We had the house on the market for six months last year and couldn't sell (we had several offers but none solid). We took it off the market last fall and put it back on in March. We only had it on for a few days this time and it sold. A little less then we wanted but more then we paid for it. In this market that's rare. :)
The house we're buying we're getting for quite a bit less then it was listed for a year ago. It's a decent sized house in a good neighborhood on the same block as my wife's cousins (little wolf's 'adopted' grandparents). It also puts me exactly five miles door to door from VivianC.
It's come right down to the wire. We just finished packing the last box (other than some odds-and-ends like my computer). The movers will be here in about 11 hours to move us out. Unfortunately we don't close on the new place until Tuesday but the moving company gave us a good rate to store our stuff on the truck until then. Being a holiday weekend they're even going to back the trailer into the warehouse and lock it up there until we move in.
I've told wolf-spouse that when I die she can have me cremated and scatter my ashes in the garden. No way I'm moving again.
