Howdy folks! Ok, long story short,
1. Put offer on new house
2. “Bees on the what now?”… lalala… Something about underwear gnomes…
3. Offer accepted
4. Realize need to sell old house
5. Huff puff… clean… paint ceillings (this sucked)… hire someone to clean carpets
6. put old house on the market
7. And finally feel like something needs to be done… but all I can do is wait.
So, this has been Crissy’s and my last month and half. It has been pretty crazy. After getting the house ready, we moved the cats out (Crissy’s parents are being kind enough to watch them) and the dogs have been spending time elsewhere (Oscar is visiting Merle during the day and Macy gets to go to work with Crissy every day). Having the house ready to show all the time is kind of a pain. Basically all the realtor has to do is call us up and give us an hour heads up. I guess letting them have access helps more people to see it.
On to the new house. It’s really big (especially compared to our old house). We’ll be moving from our 1350 sq ft house with no basement to the new one of 2338 sq ft (not counting the basement). Its a new construction, although we did not build it. To see pictures you can go to the Photo Album page or click here.
The other amusing aspect is the address. No we did not buy the house for the address! It just happened to come with a cool address. I’ll put the address here and let my readers comment on it: 404 Bluestem. On another note… It appears that we don’t actually have a picture of the front of the house… We’ll have to get one and then I’ll post it up here (probably Tuesday or Wednesday).
Anyways, I think I’m going to have a constant headache for a while… At least until my old house sells and I’m moved into the new one. At least we move in on May 24. Hmm… that isn’t too far off… Let me know what you think of the new place, and I’ll try to keep the blog updated.
