House is in Contract!

The house is officially in contract with a close of escrow next Wednesday. We have to be moved out by next Sunday. We can't believe how fast everything is happening. But today our buyer had their own inspections done at our house and they found some things that our inspector hadn't found. We are expecting to receive a list of repairs from our buyer tomorrow that we weren't anticipating. I knew this whole thing was just going way too well...

So, Andrew and I are a little discouraged, but we still think this deal is going to go through. It is a good deal for us.

We had an event at Matthew's school tonight and many neighbors were coming up to us telling us they would miss us. We have some great neighbors who all seem to be fairly good friends. I think in time we would also be good friends with them, but we're about ten years behind them in life. We (or I) often wonder if we are doing the right thing. I mean, we have a great neighborhood with a good school. So what's the problem?

I guess we just feel that we can do better for our kids, and when I look at them I feel like I owe that to them. It's just money, after all. A lot more money each month that we'll have to shell out. But, you live once. You can't waste time thinking life could be a little better if we just lived somewhere else. At some point you just have to make it happen, right? I've always been one to take whatever control I have over my life and go with it. If something doesn't feel right, you better believe that I'm gonna do what I can to fix it. I don't want to waste time being unhappy, because you just don't know how much time you have left on any given day. I say better to live life with no regrets than to wonder 'what if'?

Thankfully I have a wonderful husband, who is right there with me through this. I don't know what I'd do without him.
