The house has rented, we are starting to pack, we have found a house to rent and we are moving in 1 month. HALLELUJAH!!! Finally we are getting out of here.
We found a nice family to rent the house who also want the option to buy eventually. They have 4 kids and already know several people in the neighborhood, so they should settle in quite nicely. Check that one off the list.
I haven’t actually started packing, but I have some boxes. Every day I think, “okay, today we really get down to it” and then I let all kinds of other things get in the way, because I really HATE to pack. I know I am going to be very sorry when it gets down to the wire and becomes crunch time, but I really HATE to pack. It’s not that hard, just take stuff off the shelf and out of the drawer and put it in the box, (did I mention how much I really HATE to pack?) Oh well, I know it will get done…eventually!
We have been really fortunate in that we were able to rent the house next door to where we are building. They have their house on the market, but are allowing us to rent for 4 months, as long as we keep things clean and allow the realtor to bring people through. Well, I am VERY experienced in doing that. The nice thing is that it’s not my house, so I have no vested interest in whether it sells or not (except eventually when it does, knowing what kind of neighbors we will have.) I am not worried that the owner will sell it out from under us while we are renting because it is priced too high and really needs some work, especially on the outside (can you say curb appeal?) This house has NONE! So, I think we are set for the 4 months we will need it.
So, now it’s full speed ahead on getting the construction going again to “get ‘er done!” DH thinks we’re about 1 month away from sheet rocking and 4 months from completion.
And now on top of it all, I also get to plan a wedding. DD got engaged over the weekend and the wedding is set for Sept. 6. Fun, fun, fun. At least I have some experience, having done it twice already.
Should be a fun, interesting summer!
