House for Sale!

[All furniture moved off the carpet on the main floor so carpet can be cleaned.]

[That means most of our furniture was shoved into the kitchen. The girls thought it was hilarious!]

Oh my---I haven't blogged for awhile because we have been busy! On January 7 we put an offer on a new home just a couple of miles from where we currently live. After going back and forth for five days we finally came to a purchase agreement at 5:15 p.m. on Friday, January 11. The purchase of the new house is contingent on us selling our house by March 1 so there is no time to spare. In three days we had to have our house prepared to go on the market. That meant getting furniture moved, carpet cleaned, toys stored away, and the house staged for pictures. I have junk crammed into every nook and cranny in the house. In fact, I don't know where 70% of our belongings are. We've been through two hardwood floor consults at the new house, two geothermal inspections, and a full home inspection. We are now negotiating last details on repairs that need to be made. We are actively showing our current home which means it needs to be picked up (beds made, dishes done, no laundry laying around, toys put away, counter tops cleared) at all times of the day. I think we might be crazy. Scratch that. We are crazy.
