It’s done
The house is no longer ours. It is a huge relief followed by some sadness. I can’t even begin to describe the stress of the past week – selling a house from 600 miles away is not for the high strung (or the low strung with extra hormones surging around). If we didn’t have family in the area to take care of a few last minute details I don’t know what we would have done. And my poor realtor earned her commission on this one – between all of the problems that have cropped up and her permanently stressed out pregnant client.
I’m relieved because financially supporting 2 households was killing us. Also because we don’t have to worry about anything happening to the house if there is a storm or other natural type disaster. But sad because it was our home. We planned to raise our family there. It physically represented a lot of our dreams for the future. But things change, life keeps moving, and dreams get adjusted.
My dream right now? A stiff drink. But since I can’t have that, my dream is saving some money in the bank again and having my little family together under whatever roof we land here in our new city. Mostly? I want roots again.
Oh good. Here’s to a relaxing weekend. *holds up wine glass filled with chilled Cranberry juice and a splash of seltzer*
Congrats on selling! 🙂
Congrats on selling.
We just sold our first home in Sep. It was really sad leaving the home we had started our life together in and the house that both of the kids came home to when they were born. Our buyer was AWFUL though so by the end it became a bitter sweet moment! 🙂
So glad it is all over for you guys though!
Whew! Congrats!
I am sure you’re glad it’s over, even though it’s kind of sad.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!
so glad to hear.
how about a sandwich with french fries shoved in it for old time sake?
🙂

Congrats. This should be a huge relief for you!
Congrats! In this market, that is no small feat!
I”m glad the worst is over. NOw it’s time to make new memories for Sabrina (and the new addition) in the new house! This is their roots!
I’m so glad everything went well today. Now you can sit back and relax.
Congratulations – What a load off your mind!
Yay! What a relief!

I know what you mean. I think most people’s lives are about the sadness of change (loss of plans, moves, loss of expectations) but hopefully this balances out with positive anticipation of the future (hopes, dreams, fulfillment).
That is good that you can let it go and look positively to your new future. It says a lot.
congrats on it being a done deal. now you’re on the way to putting down those roots. close a window and a door opens…
i’ll go ahead and have that stiff drink for you btw, so you know it’s handled.
Congratulations!! Start putting those roots down now.

I was sad when we sold our house, too. The sadness outweighed the relief for a time.
Glad to hear the news. But its also like cutting off a limb. You may keep looking behind you to see if its still there. Maybe even phantom pains? Work is insane, I could use someone “sane” to talk to there. Anyway, know you are missed and I check in here from time to time
heres hoping you had a FANTASTIC weekend.
Congrats on selling! I’m still waiting for my boxes of cookies to come to me………mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!
Congrats! Kudos! Awesome! Yay!!!
