SOLD!!!!!!!!!

We sold our house! It is a done deal. No more showings, no more having to clean the house every 5 minutes. We are outta there.

Things transpired very fast. Over the weekend, we had an open house which we spent a lot of time preparing for. We decided that this week we'd take a break and not even think about the house.

Well, yesterday afternoon, Dorene gets a call from our realtor. She has someone that needs to look at the house now. So, she scrambles to get clean what she can, but doesn't get too far. Dirty dishes are in the sink, the bathrooms aren't very clear. Furthermore, Anna is running a high fever and is home from school and Dorene is feeling sick too. Nonetheless, she gets things ready and as the potential buyer visits, Anna is sitting on the driveway totally lethargic while Dorene and Cameron walk the neighborhood with one of the dogs.

Within a couple hours of the showing, Dorene gets a call back that they are writing up an offer. Whoa, that's good news! We are to come by on Wednesday afternoon and sign papers. Later in the evening, we get a call. Let's move things a little faster. The realtor and buyer are coming to the house tonight to sign the papers so Dorene doesn't have to haul a sick child around. The realtor is worried that it'll be too late to still come by. We say, NO WAY, come on over.

So, at about 11:30 p.m., we sign the papers and the house is sold. Yeah, we still have to have an inspection, but we think everything will be fine.

We sold to a couple that is moving from California. She is a new graduate student at Notre Dame and he is an Episcopalian priest. We met her and she was really nice. She hopped on a plane this morning back to California. The plan is for them to move in the first week in June.

So, I guess we kinda need to start looking at houses now to move into.
