The house sale was one of the many endeavors we had which we didn't have a Plan B. You see, we had no choice but to sell the house. Plan B would have distracted us from making Plan A to work.
When we decided to have a new house built sometime in August, we considered 2 options - keep the present house and have it rented once we'll move to the new one or sell it and use the sales as part of the payment for the new house. Obviously, we opted for the second option.
DH is on full time French Language Training.
Yup, you guessed that right. DH works for the feds. So the main aim really was to get over the house sale ASAP so he can continue to concentrate on his training and for us to be able to prepare for the big move.
The house sale was a success! I could hardly believe how it turned out, I even asked DH to "wake me up" in case I was just dreaming :). You see, it didn't take very long for the "Sold" sign to be added on the 'For Sale' sign posted outside our house.
The night the 'For Sale' announcement was about to go live in Grapevine's website, the buyers saw the sign outside the house (Grapevine put the sign in the afternoon of the same day) and asked if they could come in and talk to us. It was past 9 pm when they came in so they only saw the main floor and the basement. We didn't bring them to the second floor because DK was already getting ready for bed. "Besides," we told them, "it is about to go live and you will see the pics." They, however, fell in love with what they saw. I didn't know there is such a thing as love-at-first-sight in houses. :)
