SOL 7/21/15 - It's Complete

After all the waiting, wondering, worrying, praying and anticipation, it is complete. 

We closed on the 10th, but there were a few hiccups thrown in (just to make it interesting).  We toasted with a bottle of wine at our new home on Sunday and the movers arrived bright and early on Monday.  Officially, one of the hottest days of July, 2015.  The move went smoothly - no dents or scars, nothing broken (at least that I've found). 

We slept in our new home that night.  Arising early to go back to our old house to finish removing items that we didn't want the movers to take and to finish cleaning. 

Boxes have been unpacked, with many more to empty.  Furniture is arranged (for the time being).  Hubby got his new Cub Cadet lawn tractor.  All is good.

Last Friday we took a trip to St. Louis to meet Michelle and the girls.  We traded vehicles, brought the girls back home and Michelle stayed for her conference.

The girls have enjoyed unpacking.  However, they empty a box much faster than I can find a place for everything.  I gave them a couple of boxes of books and they have filled my shelves.

We love our new home and look forward to making many memories here.

Thanks for all your comments, prayers and concerns over the past couple of months while we were going this whole process.  They were greatly appreciated.

    Hurrah, so happy that all went so beautifully, and the girls get to see your new home immediately! I did this 3 years ago about this time, moved in December, but then worked on getting the old house ready to sell. What a time it is, but I'm so glad I did it, Judy. Happy new home to you!

    I'm glad it went as smoothly as it did even with the bumps. The house is beautiful & we are so glad to be here trying to help make your new house your home. Thanks for letting us stay and create more piles ... Too bad we can't stay all summer! Ha!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
