OMG. The house has been on the market for 14 days, and now we have a valid contract. We’re working toward a closing date of May 21. I know it’s not supposed to be this easy. I almost had a panic attack when I realized we were another step closer to casting off. A friend described it as “standing at the edge of the high dive.” Excited and scared at the same time. In two months, we walk away from our friends and everything that’s been our normal life for over twenty years. I sure hope there’s water in the pool.
We still have to jump though all the hoops required to sell the house, especially packing and moving, and I’ll have to find a place to live for a month while I finish up my job at the WBA. So, we’re not out of the woods yet. We’ll be going to St. Marys soon to register our cars and set up our mailing address, as well as drop off the first load of stuff. If we thought it was hell getting the house ready to stage, I don’t know what to call packing up 4,000 square feet of stuff and trying to fit it into a 1,400 square foot house that’s already furnished and full. My back already aches just thinking about it.
Regardless, in three and a half months, we could be setting sail.
