we are on the move!!

well, early saturday morning we got our 2nd offer on our house- and this one appears to be a go!! they have inspections on wednesday and we need to close by august 9. i am feverishly trying to find a place for us to go while our house is being built. i woke up early this morning- ready to find us a home, sort and organize and find storage rental all in one day. i went thru 1 house today and it could not have been nastier. seriously, even if they paid me to live there- i would not. after 1.4 minutes in the house these shrill, involuntary noises started coming out of my mouth. it was so bad. anna summed it up by getting back in the car and saying, "well, i dont think THAT is a good fit!" ditto. maybe tuesday will bring more possibilities.

i just returned from another rental option- i told brian that i feared a tiny piece of my soul would die every time i walked into it. we have elected to steer clear of the soul killing rentals.

Congratulations!
We know what you are going through. Two years ago, we put our house on the market thinking that it would take a while to sell. Five days later, we have an offer and had three weeks to move out. The only problem was that we had no place to go. We were planning on building but didn't even have land to build a house on. Long story short, we found a condo and spent five long and miserable months there. But it was worth it in the end, when our house was finally finished.
