It's been a while

It indeed has been a while since I got my creative crap together and sat down to write a blog.
The reason for this being that we had an offer on our house, which in turn led to the rapid need for re-housing and a sprint to put in an offer on one which Tattoo Man has had his eye one for quite some time!
Timing being what it is we just made it, as two more 'tentative' offers came in on the same weekend!! Whew......

Strange to think the offer came in after just 3 views, when in the previous 2 years it had been listed twice, with a glimmer of hope on one occasion which led to a big load of nothing.

Also strange was the fact that this time we really didn't need to sell, when before, with Tattoo man working 200 miles away and a conditional offer on another property we just couldn't pull it together.

My friend (& REALTOR) has always said things happen for a reason and it would appear to me that she has absolutely hit the proverbial nail right on it's head.

Tattoo Man wanted a house with a view, he's getting it. He will be able to see nothing but trees for miles, and miles and..you get the idea!

I wanted nothing more than to be able to put our daughter on the school bus every morning and not fight the cluster fuck that is the school parking lot every afternoon.

The child, well she still wants to go to Disney (there's always one!) and it's in the early discussion stages. We shall see what happens on that subject after we are settled in.

I have to go, there is packing to be done!!
