We sold our house today at noon. Things went so well, it’s amazing. The buyer is a wonderful lady who seems beside herself about owning the home. She seemed charmed by Hallie as she wandered around the room, too.
We got back and I took our “for sale” sign out of the yard. It was out there seven and a half weeks. We got her offer around ten days after it went in the yard, and today we sealed the deal.
After all the paperwork was signed, Kelly and I each got a bonus hug from Marian, the new owner. It was really kinda touching!
Marian even offered to let us take a tree with us! We got a dogwood tree as a gift when Hallie was born. been growing nicely in the backyard for those two years and we were resigned to the sad thought of leaving it behind. Marian said we’ve “done such a great job on the rest of the yard” that she’d not even miss it. So if there’s a way we can dig it up without killing it, we’ll soon have the first tree in our new yard.
