Over 3 years ago we decided to try and sell our home so we could be settled before Carlie started Kindergarten. When that didn't happen and Carlie got into the Charter school, we decided we still wanted to move so we could be closer to the school since both her and Cayden would now be going there for the next 10 years! This started the vicious cycle of constant showings, sometimes 1 a day if not more than 1 some days!! I had to keep everything in perfect "showing" condition (or at least be able to look that way in 10 min. or less) 24/7! This becomes very waring on a person especially when you have kids. It didn't matter what was going on in our life, if someone wanted to see our house we let them and always made it look like I had spent hours cleaning and made everything look "perfect" (even when I had just had my tonsils out or just spent 3 horrible days in the hospital after hernia surgery). That is what you do when you want to sell your home, you never know when that one person who wants your home is going to come!! Well 7 months and 7 days ago (August 2nd 2011) we got the offer that ultimately, after much drama and falling through 3 times was the one!! We lived out of boxes and slept on the floor for over 2 months waiting to see if things were going to work out! Then we lived in a 2 bedroom apartment for the rest of the time while our new home has been built. It is finally time!!!! We moved in this past weekend and finally can feel "settled" and live our life again!! It has felt for a very long time now that our life has been "on hold". Waiting for our home to sell, then waiting for the sale to go through, then waiting for our new home to be built!! We had one more abstacle before we could move in!! Friday, before our house could record and fund the county server caught on fire!!! Nothing would be able to record until everything was fixed! It was looking like we wouldn't be able to move over the weekend after all. After it was determined that it wouldn't be able to record Friday, the builder was very kind and gave us the keys anyway!! You NEVER, EVER get the keys to your home until everything has funded and recorded!! Our agent said she has never seen that happen where Richmond has given the keys without that happening! We were so grateful:)
