We're moving!
Life has been lots of change recently with the new baby, and now on top of it we've sold our house and are ready to close on the new one. Selling this townhouse is kinda a funny story. We rented a storage shed and were moving things into it to try to get things staged and ready to go on the market. When we did our financing we actually prequalified with both houses so we weren't in a huge rush to sell, but we don't really want two mortgages for too long. Ok, so my mom had come down to help me clean and pack and we had pulled everything out of a back closet and had a HUGE mess. I had laundry everywhere and boxes and well...junk. My mom was in the garage organizing things and I was talking with her for a minute when we saw a lady drive by looking kinda lost. I went in to take care of Megan and left my mom outside to keep going. A few minutes later she opens the door and says "Julie....I'm showing someone your house." Ok people...my house was a MESS!!! I was upset!!! I was soooo embarrassed, but what do you do?!?! So I apologized for the mess, told her the living room was the kitchen, then realized...no...the kitchen is over there...not here...oye!!! My mom was feeling bad and when I said "this is the kitchen" and was pointing to the living room she knew I was flustered. I proceeded to show her through the house and was dying when there was even underwear on the floor. We were upstairs when Norman came roaring up the stairs chasing the dogs. I was all "Ummm...hi babe....we're showing someone the house." She left and hadn't gotten any contact info so we thought that was that. About an hour or so later she came back and got our information and we were actually in contract that Wednesday. Who would have thought!?!?!? We actually sold our house without staging and before we put it on the market. I decided that this means that I have to go back to work :( Oh well! I guess work is good for me. Now we're teasing my mom that not only is she a cougar, but now she's a realtor too. Who knew she was a woman of so many talents?
