Times are a changin...

At first I will apologize for not having any pictures... frankly things have been so crazy this summer that we haven't had time for much of anything fun.  Poor kids, poor hubby!!  We have worked all summer at getting my mom's house ready to sell as well as Andrew's mom's house.  After my dad passed away, we were worried that we wouldn't have time to get everything done and the house sold before the new one was ready.  Boy were we wrong.  We listed my mom's house on a Monday and it was sold by Wednesday.  That offer fell through, so we listed it again on a Monday and had it sold by Tuesday and that one also fell through.  Finally we were able to list the house on a Saturday and it was sold by Monday - and it looks like this one will stick - aghhhh!!!!  Anyway, after hours and hours of time spent at my mom's house it looked beautiful and we had no problem getting it sold.  I think we ended up with a total of 20 offers all above asking price - unheard of in this market.  We were thrilled and our success motivated Andrew's mom to sell her home which she had been talking about for years.  So after her house was on the market, it sold in less than a week and she is set to close here in a few days.  So now we are dreading the big move.  Poor Andrew (I think I said that earlier) but he will have 3 households to move  - two in the next two weeks.  But, you know what??? It's OK!  WE are excited about this new adventure in our lives and we are ready for this!!  I think...  Anyway, we are going to the house for our 4-way walk through on Thursday of next week and than I hear after that it flies!!  I will post pictures from the walk through so you can all be amazed at the progress we are making like I am.
