The ins and outs of Selling a House

The past few weeks have been drastically busy. I never knew what went into a house being sold but hey I now know. It seems that everyday before the contigencies are taken off your house some "inspection" has to take place. First termites, then house insepection, appraisal, the people buying your home. It is ridiculous. Then it comes to the contigencies, dependin gon the length of your escrow depends on when the contingencies get lifted. Since ours is about a 30 day escrow they have 17 days to lift the contigencies. The contigencies their demands on the house. What they want done before they will actually settle for this house. Since our house is going for a very low amont (rock bottom) we are not going to be doing a lot of this shit they want done, if they want anything done. There is one thing that I have to fix which is in Savannah's bathroom. Other then that ... no! So dealing with Realtors is kind of like dealing with a dick attorney. Not my attorney of course because she is freakin awesome. But some dumb ass think he knows it all attorney. The realtor representing the buyers is a stupid ass. He doesnt understand that I do not want nor have to deal with him, he is to go through the realtor we are paying.

So yeah selling a house is a big pain. Other then the house things are going fine. Savannah is packed, I bought her some new lugage and cute little tags for her name on them. I packed all her clothes except for 8 outfits and her dress for court in 6 days. All I have to do is pack my second lugage with clothes or whatever I am going to put in there and then pack our carry ons and personal items. Sadly I have out what we are going to wear the day of our flight and have bought Savannah some special things for her flight (basically to keep her quiet). I am going to meet up with some of my friends Sunday and Monday. I have been meeting up with some of Savannah's friends too! We are both really anxious.

I set up reservations at a hotel for two nights, just so I have time to grab a bed and a few things needed to live in the house. Plus my phone doesnt get installed until the day after we get in. Giving us time to run to the store before we head to the house. We have things to do the first couple of days up there.

I am ready to get lost. I am ready to see some other part of the world. And I am ready to get away from the drama. I met a guy who was vacationing down here from where we are moving. He is excited to see us again and also ready to kind of show us around. There are some excellent parks and rec centers. And Savannah is ready to start school. She asks everyday! It just wasnt worth putting her in school for three-ish weeks down here.

But alas it is time to get her ready for the day and get myself ready. I will post pictures of our trip on the plane and of our time in our new area.

Oh the next 6 days will be rough,
