Moving Forward

Where to start?

It's been so long since my last post,

so much has happend since then.

If you remember we put our home on the market

last year March, it stayed on for

six and a half months with tons of showings,

a few interests, even one that was serious but

couldn't get a loan.

After much frustration we removed our home from the market in October.

Then after a two month break we put the house

on the market end of December,

we thought we'd try to sell it ourselves

this time.

Well, two weeks after putting it back on

it

SOLD!

We couldn't believe it. The buyer loved the house,

drives by our home everyday and

NEVER

saw it for sale until one day he said the sign

jumped out at him and he called

the number.

Well that same day they came over, walked

through and asked us when we

wanted to close.

So, we closed Febuary 27th.

Our home went from this crazy caos and overwhelming

craziness for several weeks then on Monday

it looked like this

It was very hard for me.

I cried for two weeks.

Yes, this is what we wanted to do, it was our choice,

but it was still very hard.

This was our first house, we put a lot blood, sweat and tears

into this home.

Renovated this home, each and every room, we had

a lot of memories here.

But now, we'll make new memories.

We're in Maryland now, renting a small apartment

with our belongings in a storage unit.

We hope to buy a home here now.

But I would like a break for a while, the last six weeks

have been insane

so it'll be nice to just take it easy before starting to

fix up another home.

We made it, we survived the first phase of new

beginnings.
