I suppose I should also explain myself in regard to our sudden departure from the home and quick move into the apartment.
We’ve been wanting to build for awhile now and knew we were going to sell our home. When Dave finished his MBA work at Utah State on the 6th of June we began to jump in with both feet. Looking at land, choosing a Realtor, moving things to storage, etc…
On the evening of Sunday, June 14th we decided that we needed to plow into this a little deeper and do everything we could to sell and sell fast. The following day I went apartment hunting. Tuesday of that week we filled out the application and by that Friday (June 19th) we were signed into a 7 month lease and starting to move into the apartment. Since then we’ve been moving,painting, cleaning, and finishing our basement (drywall, paint, carpet, wiring, etc). The end goal was not to move everything out of the house, but rather to stage the home for the best possible impression. We left all of our large furniture there, and rearranged things a bit more aesthetically. At our apartment we are sleeping on mattresses on the floor and eating on a folding table… boxes and air mattresses serve as substitutes for our actual mattresses at the house. Hopefully it works.
Its been a long, exhausting couple of weeks. But here we are.
There are still a few things we’d like to see happen at the house, but I think that there will always still be *something* that could be done there. But, the listing is done, the pictures are taken, and the house is tourable. So we can breathe a little now. Our apartment is still stacked with boxes and whatnot, but we are starting to feel a bit more settled.
So there you have it. Sorry to have left you all in the dark so long. I should be able to get back to a more regular blogging schedule moving forward as well. In the meantime, if you know anyone that wants to buy a house…
Your house looks great Tina! I hope everything goes well and you’re able to sell quickly. If I hear of anyone looking for a house I’ll definitely let them know about yours 🙂
So what area is your apartment in? Hopefully we’ll still get to see ya’ll now and then.
I sure hope you still come walking. To park group too. We will miss you also. I’m joking when I call you guys punks I guess I’m just sad to see you go 🙁
That is exciting that you are building a new house! I still think you should move farther south though, it is warmer and the air quality is better…(=
PS-Your house looks really nice inside!
and outside too of course, it’s just so clean inside, it makes me feel like I need to clean my house, which I do…(=
Thanks everyone. We too hope things sell quickly. Shauntae, we are up by the N. Logan Post Office… and I’m sure you’ll see me around still. 🙂
Yes Sandra I’ll still come to park group – and walking from time to time.
I appreciate all of your comments. We loved our ward and the friendships gained.
I hate moving…hope you get a buyer quick so you can start building soon. Then the real “fun” begins. Hope you had fun at the reunion we were sick.
