Beep, Beep...

Yes that is the sound of a major back up! At 8pm tonight, on the last day of the option period, the buyer wanted to amend the contract for major repairs to the pool and air conditioner so we let them go. For the first time in my life an annoying beeping sound was music to my ears....easy come, easy go!

Was that fast?

Last week we got an offer on our house...just 3 weeks after putting it on the market, and today we finalized all the paper work, etc. Now we are in a mad scramble to find a place to live as they want us out by Sept. 15. We still have a 10 day option period where they can back out for any reason. I'm not saying I want them to back out but I wouldn't exactly be disappointed if I had a little more time to enjoy our home. As Annabelle (Jodie Foster) says in Maverick, "Was that fast, I thought that was fast!"

Moving on up...we hope!

After 30 years in this house and 2 years of major remodeling, we decided to put 3600 Cross Bend officially on the market. As I left to meet my friends for dinner tonight I saw the For Sale sign in the front yard for the first time. I started crying. I couldn't help it.

I have mixed emotions for sure. Sad to potentially leave a house I spent the majority of my life in, grew up in, had Maison in, a house I LOVE....but I am excited about the opportunity to move off this busy street so we will have a place to play outside.

So here's to Moving on up to the East side to be near Camp Gooey!
