Anyone want to buy a house???

We are getting sooo much closer to moving into our new home, but our current house hasn't sold yet!!! Of course, the market in Columbus isn't that of what you would find in the larger cities, so we certainly took that into account and we knew there was a possibility of paying two mortgage payments for a bit. However, it sure would be nice NOT to have to do that and to have a big fat chunk of change to put toward the new house!!!

It just ain't easy keeping a house ready to show at a moments notice when you have 3 monkey-boys running around!!!

It will all work out and, no matter what, the new one will be done and we will probably move in the next 6-8 weeks. We are in the process of getting the septic system done ($$$$$). They are about to start painting the outside of the house and have almost finished the inside. They still have to put down all of the tile on the floors and vanities, granite in the kitchen, and carpet. We don't have any tirlets yet so that will probably come soon. The finish-up electric and a/c needs to be done also. Hey, maybe it will be closer to two months!!!

I'm starting to pack some stuff up. I keep feeling like we are months away and that we have time, but it's getting closer and closer. YOu know how it is when you have something really important going on in life and it feels like it will never be done and then as that time approaches you still keep feeling like it's so far away.

Anyway, it will be great to get out into the country with the boys and close to Nana. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to build this wonderful home. I think that we will enjoy it for many years. We've got a huge front porch for some porch sittin. Ralph's got a great shop for tinkering around and we've got plans (and a slab) for a FORT!!
