A Ball of Nervousness...

We have our house for sale right now.  It hasn't been on the market that long considering the real estate market.  We've had lots of lookers and we have sooo much baby stuff everywhere which meant that we would throw everything that resembled a toy or baby item into my van.  We wanted the potential buyer to visualize themselves living there.  We had my Dad come and repaint the whole downstairs, put in a new light fixture, install new hardware on the kitchen cabinets, repaint the baseboards, take out majority of T's toys and take them to my mom's and put the dining room table and hutch back.  It's been very stressful for me.  B hasn't gotten that stressed out and he is usually the one who worries about stuff.  I don't know why I stress about it so much.  It's totally out of my hands and we have done everything we know to do.

That being said we got an offer over the weekend and the buyer accepted our counteroffer.  So now we wait for the inspection, appraisal, and closing date (which is very soon).  All of this is great news but it could also fall through and I hate not being in control.  I love our house but it is too small-I would like a room for MM, a yard for T, a garage for both of our cars, a laundry room, and a swing to swing on!  But...if it does fall through then we will be okay and start over again with putting everything in my van and going to Babies R 'Us for hours while lookers look or my mom's house.

It's fun to start looking for new houses but we are blessed abundantly with our babies, marriage, and health so it's silly to be disappointed, right?  I need to keep that in mind this week.  Remember what's important and re-read this blog!

Just one of the memories from our house...

Beautiful snow in January 2010.  I can remember rocking T in the middle of the night the snow fell and looking out his window watching it cover the cars and road.  It was so pretty that night.  I will always remember that night thinking how I needed to remember this when he gets too big for me to hold.  I love my little boy!
