Three and a half weeks!!

Per the norm in this process things have moved VERY quickly!! The house is officially in sale pending mode! There were 4 offers last week. We accepted one of them,  Now this week is inspection week for the house and then once that is over there will be a two week waiting period before signing on the 13th.  And then I move a week after signing! Movers have been hired! We can at least get help on one end! They'll just load the truck but that's a biggie!!

And it's official that I got the house in Rupert! It now shows off market. That one gets signed on the 19th. I'm getting pretty excited at this point! Three and a half weeks and I'll be on my way to a whole new life in a new to me state and a new to me house. I will miss my established garden but I get to set up a whole new one over there! It's a half acre of property so lots of space to work with!

My yard here is bursting with bulbs now!

Soooo close!!!

I've just got a handful of accounts left to finish for 2017 so I'll be able to make my goal of being done by end of this month! Very exciting!! Then there's a handful to update through February and all accounts will be ready to hand off! I did find a company to hand off payroll to so that was exciting as well. April 1st is the hand off for everyone for payroll and books.

Thanks to the help of many friends and family the house got pretty much packed and cleared out in just over a week! I didn't get any client work done last week (except for some onsite work) but Amanda stepped in and got a lot of client work done! The repairs got done inside and out, the yard got cleaned up, the carport got cleaned up, and the house became house tour ready. Below is the end result. Those who know what it looked like before, it really is the same house lol!!! :)  The good news is there really isn't a whole lot to pack. Only basics are left.

The house got listed Tuesday evening and there's been lots of people through. Today was crazy! I left the house at 10 and didn't get back until 6. There's was lots of people in and out not only during the open house but also before and after! Open house tomorrow and then we'll see if someone makes an offer. The realtor said there's at least a couple of people highly interested but they need to actually make the offer!! Then it'll be about a month after an offer and I'll be starting a new life!! I'm still adapting to that thought!

I'm going to miss my little buddy! 

He hopped right up when I got to Brenda's today.

Let the craziness begin!

I feel like I'm being pulled 20 different directions. (Probably because I am! :) ) Between trying to take care of clients this month, trying to get the house ready to list, trying to figure out what all needs to be done to hand off clients, I'm kind going a bit crazy. Tomorrow is pack the house to prepare for listing. Not everything is being packed but a lot of the personal items need to go and that means a storage unit since this house has absolutely no storage available!!

I've never had to do this on my own so this is quite the learning process! Lots of stuff going on tomorrow other then packing. Siding guy, lawn guy, the hot water heater guy is going to finish off what he started today. Yikes! But I made a nice pan of spaghetti sauce for everyone so hopefully that'll make some people happy! :) It's been a challenge to find boxes. I posted on Nextdoor and have gotten a couple of bites for boxes. Dropped by lots of stores but Safeway was the only one that actually saved any for me. Apparently Freddie's forgot that they had someone coming in in the evening and had none. Into my 22nd year in this house so there is a lot to go through!

And truth to tell, it's going to be a bit harder emotionally then I realized. This is the last piece of Dave left. Over in Rupert there will be nothing of him left and while that probably isn't a bad thing it's sure is a tough one! But I know that my Father is leading me there so I'm hanging on to that!

Anyway, wish me luck!! 😆
