Lots of News



Where do I even start? Things have been crazy around here. We completed the work we were doing in the laundry room (new floor, cabinets, and paint). Then John accepted a job in South Bend. He had started looking a little bit for a job that would keep him home more. So when this came up, we decided to move him up there, and that I would be staying here to sell the house. So, we contacted the realtor to get started on the process of selling our house. Patty (our realtor) came by about 2 weeks ago to look at the house and talk about what we could do to help stage the house for showings. While she was here, she mentioned that she had someone who might be interested in looking at the house. So, the next day, Patty called to ask if she could bring the woman through. By Saturday we had an offer, and about Tuesday of last week we had a sales agreement. This is all happening so fast, but at least the house sold and we aren't sitting here for months with it on the market. I have closing on the house on March 19th (13 days!) and we hand over the keys that day. We will be staying with John's parents until we get a new house. We haven't gone looking at houses yet, but have been checking some out online.



John has started his new job and is still learning the ropes. He should be home about 80-90% of the year, instead of traveling 80-90% of the year (yay!!). When he does travel, it will be international travel as his company sends their products overseas. So he might be making trips to Mexico, Europe, and possibly some other places. Maybe I'll get to tag along!



I would love to show off our work in the laundry room, but John has the pictures on his computer, and he is in South Bend.



This weekend is the big moving truck day. We plan to get almost everything out of here on Saturday, and I will live here with the bare minimum for the next week while I close out my caseload here before we close on the house!
