What We Accomplished…Days #22 & 23 8/17/11 & 8/18/11

I went to bed last night knowing I had forgotten to do…something. This is what I forgot. Doing it now  

Today (the 18th) we went to the pool with my friend and her son. It was a lot of fun. I love spending time with her. She is always so bubbly and positive. I will truly miss her when I move BUT we both have Verizon so our calls are ‘free’!

Yesterday (the 17th) the inspection guy came to the house and I hope gave the house a thumbs up. He made the comment that I was hospitable When I just gave him a look he explained further that he has often come across both buyers and sellers that are not very nice during the buy/sell process. Sellers don’t want the inspectors to find things wrong with the house and the sellers want to make sure that nothing is left uncovered! He was nice enough and it went fairly quick. He turned on ALL my lights and ran the faucets- every one- for what seemed to be a very long time.

Our for sale sign now says “under contract”. Yay! And the house we are hoping to get is moving along nicely, too.
