a very good sign

Best I've seen in a long time!



Looking forward to seeing one in front of the one we're buying. Within the next four weeks we should close on both!

Oooh, look, our house is SOLD! 

Gemini dream

And today is the first day of Gemini. You don't have to believe in it, but allow me to revel in the fact that on the first day of the dualistic sign -- which is my sign and that of my anniversary -- we signed the contract to get out of our house. Escaping this house will be a dream come true (although it's a perfectly lovely house, don't get me wrong).

We'll finally have a place that is ours, full of our memories together. Tom's been in this house for nearly 14 years, and some of those memories are best left behind. Woohoo!

Shiny things times two! 

at last!

Our house is now under contract! We finalized the deal this morning. Next we'll have to clear out for inspections and appraisals, but the fact that we've got a buyer makes it all worthwhile. It's pouring rain for the second day in a row, but Tom and I are absolutely giddy. No way the weather can dampen this excitement!

It's been a long, stressful week, and it is ending beautifully. I survived my first week of training to teach online for Kaplan, my first live course since February is off to a pretty good start, and there's a light at the end of the real estate tunnel. I hope to sleep well tonight!

Shiny things in a new house!
