We're Moving!!!



Well, after having our home on the market since Feb, we finally had an offer come through. It was lower than we had hoped, so we countered with something we thought was more realistic. They came back with an extra 5K added to their first offer. We did some thinking and just decided to be done with the whole process. It is a relief to have accepted it in a way, but completely frustrating in another. At least we bought five years ago. I can't imagine what it would be like for so many people who are upside down on their home values right now. We made some money, so hopefully we will be able to turn around a low ball some poor sap desperate to sell in Vegas. We are set to close on the 16th of June and then need to be moved out by the 24th. Talk about fast and furious. Anyway, I figured I would include these pictures for the fun of it. Both were done by Madison. The first is a letter she wrote and photocopied to her whole class. You can read it, but it basically says they need to come up with ways to get out of moving. Then she gave them a few weeks to have their ideas submitted. The second one was put in an envelope and addressed to us (no stamp, though) and placed in our mailbox, supposedly from our realtor telling us he couldn't sell our home. I was amazed at her creative ways of trying to get out of this. I can't wait to see what her creative mind comes up with when she is a teenager. Yikes!!!
