Holy Frak!

The house, it has a contract on it.
It all happened so fast – people came to look at it, then they came back with her fiancee, then they came back AGAIN, then the offer, we accepted, inspection was great, and now…we wait. The couple that are purchasing the house are getting married in the next two months, so they asked to put off closing until the beginning of June. I'm totally cool with that (although, I have to admit, it does make me a little nervous that they might back out or something because they have two months to think about what they are doing) and we are currently researching temporary housing. Why temporary? Well, because we didn't expect this house to go so quickly, we hadn't even started the process of building a new one. We will be getting on that ball this weekend, which also coincides with our 6th anniversary.
We are absolutely relieved and excited and nervous about a new house and ready to move on. This house was our first house together; we were married while we lived in this house, we brought our babies home here, I learned to knit here (and so started a lifelong obsession). It is a little bittersweet to be leaving it behind, but we're really ready to have more space for our family. And for my yarn.
