SOLD!

We put a for sale sign in our yard last Monday afternoon. This morning, only 7 days later, we signed papers to sell it.

Our realtor had told us that average time to sell is 25-45 days, so we were mentally prepared for several weeks of keeping it "showable". And, after taking about 3 years to sell our house when we left Beatrice, I suppose we were mentally ready for even more. But, not this time!! One tiny little week....only 2 showings and an open house and we got an offer, sent a counter-offer, and signed. We still have a 12 day inspection period, but otherwise it is a "done deal"....amazing!

We move into our new house on May 1st and are looking forward to it for SO many reasons! It is a cute old house on a beautiful 3 acres of trees and critters. But, mostly it will be nice to be SO close to school! About 2 1/2 minutes!! Today Alex was sick, and I couldn't justify the hour-long trip to bring him home (only to go BACK and get the other 2 kids), so we made him a bed in the van and he and I hung out in the parking lot for 2 1/2 hours. Plus, we're going to have an extra half-hour in the morning and an extra half-hour in the afternoon, too. And, my part-time job will now be more "Part-time". I will be able to go home when I am finished teaching which I really haven't done all year long. Bruce will have a drive, of course, but he is already planning to work from home one day a week. Exciting changes for us all!
