House Warming Party

Here are some snaps of the house warming party.

We now live in the New House

Jany Airy 1 2010. We now live in the new house. We are debit free and will continue to shore up the finances so the heartless banks no longer are sucking the blood from us. I was moved into a new role at work a week before my 3rd year anniversary. I now put the fires out on the behalf of my department. It is fun and challenging right now.

New Year 2010 #2

To bring the New Year in I played Barbies with Elisa and Mark. Then I packed up the work bench. Oh ya we also watched the sharks kick some but again.

New Year 2010

Today we signed our final escrow papers. I hope that the executives of Chase catch a nasty cold and lose their jobs. It would also be great if someone pooped in their coffee pot.

Happy new Year

Insomnia

It was 230am when Mark woke me up. It's 424am now. I don't know if I will go back to sleep. The world according to Aaron is soooo distorted these past few days.   The wheel is spinning and I am getting dizzy....

AT 11am today we are having another open house. But before that I a real Estate agent is coming by to see the property.  I am not sure why they can't wait 2 hours and see it when everybody else does. It's not like we are going to accept any offers before they do the walk through.

Anyway, I don't have a clue where to go. The kids will be in full force. I will be wiped out. Kim will be working.

 This process is so upsetting to Kim and I. Nobody needs to go through this. It is an absolute stress ache. Need to make some coffee...

Home

Well the house sold 3 days ago. Our real estate agent told us of the offer. We found the number to be agreeable. So the agent came over at 10pm and we signed the papers.

Today we found that the buyers wanted to pull out of the deal. They said that the design of the house wouldn't allow for the kind of remodel they were planning on. Fun. This year really is full of wondrous surprises of stinky!

Tomorrow is the next round of open houses. I feel like a zombie. I am so depressed about having to sell and move.

I woke up and got ready for work in the quiet house. It is strange to wake up and not recognize the home that you have lived in for 5 years.  Stranger to think that we will be living somewhere else this time next year.

The cat seems to know that we are moving. He was very sympathetic this morning. He sat by me sensing my dread of the future. He patiently stared at me with those piercing eyes. He wouldn't stop. He just seemed to be telling me. "Good Morning Aaron...It's going to be fine....Now feed me"

Moving 5

Termites. We will tent. It will cost a minimum of 1600 but more like 3000. Then it will be extra to have the one area near our bedroom repaired.

Moving 4

Craig is at my house right now cleaning the fish tank that is in bad

need of some work. I want to bring the tank to the next place. Kim

thinks we should leave it. Hella.

The plumber is coming back to look at the sink again. It is leaking water a bit. Nothing like last minute repairs to sell a house.

Gary our realtor had it listed on MLS today. It won't be open for
viewing for a few days. That is fine. We need to clean the closets out.

Moving 3

Wow I am cooked. I think I was up at 6am and packing up the house by 630.  The house is more or less ready to show to rich people who can afford to buy it. We are going to list it at 669000. I really hope we can get that number.

Today we had the house cleaners come and spiff up the nasty bits. The kids went to grandma's house for a 3rd day. That woman is a rock star!!!  I will head to work tomorrow. Craig is going to come and clean my tank and take my truck to the dump to unload the trash in the back. The house will be listed on MLS tomorrow.

Moving 2

More prep work to get the house on the market by Monday.  We had the gardeners come and clean out the yard and mulch. The kids went to grandma's for a second day. Kim was feeling good enough to go out and do some shopping with Sharon. I went to the storage unit. Fun.
  Last night Matt Sorensen came by and helped move some furniture rearranging.  He then showed off his manly calves by vacuuming while drinking a brown ale. His audience, Kim, Susan, and Aaron were very impressed with his power.
