It's Official

FINALLY!
Our house is officially on the market!


PLEASE BUY IT!
We are hopefully going to find people who need a fully furnished home! If not, that is fine too. But we have beautiful, comfortable sectional couches which are too die for!! Comfortable pillow top beds (Queen size, and twin), beautiful Tuscan decor, Tiled kitchen, Crown Molding, a Fireplace...This house is AWESOME! For first time home buyers, this is
PERFECT!

(if you're not looking to buy...please spread the word!!)

Sad Story

I found out why the goose is always sitting by the townhouse across the street. Apparently, she and the white goose had babies. She layed her eggs in their backyard and was sitting on them for MONTHS, and they never hatched. Well, a few days ago the white goose stepped in front of a car and is now a soldier in the armies of heaven. And this poor momma is wandering around honking, waiting for her mate to come back home. But the neighbors are taking good care of her, and even feed her from their hands. That is why she came so close to us the other day. She just needs loves and foods.

i cried.

A different kind of customer

So Craig's List is my new best friend. Or has been yesterday and today anyway. I had people coming all morning long to purchase different items here and there for items I had just posted on Craig's List yesterday! It's been great. Well, we have a huge family of geese that have taken up residence in our neighborhood pond. One of the geese is always just hanging out across the street on a grassy knoll. I noticed that all morning long he was watching people coming and going. He hadn't moved for hours.

Our last customer leaves and Spencer decides to go get the mail. As soon as he opened the door this goose CHARGES at him to come in the door!! I guess he wanted to see what was happening. So Spencer closes the door fast...(this goose could move). Well, we thought maybe the goose could be hungry. I went to fridge and got some whole wheat tortillas, and this is what happened.

It was so sweet. These guys are normally pretty vicious, and hiss at us every time we dare walk by them to get the mail, but this guy was so sweet. He just wanted to do a "check it out" thing.

My house has mold.

But the pretty kind!
Nothing like moving to make you get your house cute.
After 3 years, my house finally looks like I had originally pictured it. Just in time to put it on the market.

A solution.

I've come up with an alternative to water boarding terrorists.

The perfectly straight installation of wall decor.

IKEA

Since we are about to put our house on the market, we decided to make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Adding decorative knobs here and there, ceiling lights and fans, shelves in bathrooms, crown molding, etc. While we were at Home Depot checking out molding prices, we decided to check out some knobs too, and this wonderfully inspired woman came up to us and told us that we could get knobs at 1/2 the price at IKEA. Because, honestly, I am NEVER going to spend $5 on just one freaking knob.

I had never been to an IKEA. It kind of feels like the day I discovered chocolate. I don't remember the exact day it happened, but I'm sure it was a good one.

Finito!

I finished my last final tonight.
I got a perfect score on my semester project.
I got a 96% final grade in my Comp class.
And no matter what I get on my paralegal final,
I'll get an A.

party.

The Ironman of 2009

FANTASTIC!

Let the work begin

My mom left this morning. We had such a GREAT 2 week visit. Lots of tennis, boardgames, movies, dinners, hiking, and driving. She rocks.


Now...

I have an announcement. I am fishing for a REAL ESTATE AGENT. If you know of, or are, a great real estate agent leave me a comment with your email address. Yes, we are moving.

Whenever we sell the house, we are heading west to California, crashing at my parent's house until October, and then moving down south to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Yeah, there's no way in hades that I would move to Mexico during the summer. Anyway, Spencer was gone for 2 weeks (why mom came) to check out a job offer he received while on vacation there in February. It is a fabulous new resort going up in Magdalena Bay, and they are still selling to investors....(if you are looking for an investment you really should check this out)...anyway, things went great and we are on our way.

Oh and by the way....WE ARE SELLING EVERYTHING IN OUR HOUSE!! If you are in the Charlotte area, and need any kind of furniture, including beds, DECOR, tons and tons of books, bookshelves, kitchen supplies, Christmas decorations, utensils, computer desk, ANYTHING....again just leave me a comment. Our apartment in Cabo comes fully furnished, so we just want to get rid of everything.
