This is the house that we happened upon in our casual searching for a new house, that turned our casualty turn to great urgency. It is a lot bigger than it looks just from the front. It is about 1600 sq ft all newly remodeled on almost a 1/4 of an acre for less than 200K! Just an empty lot of of that size is selling for 180K. So we had to jump at the opportunity. (For those of you familiar with the area, it is near Lion's Park at the bottom of Grandview Hill.) We signed a contract on the 9th (contingent upon the sale of the townhome of course) and then rushed to get most of our stuff, especially all our clutter, out of the house and into a storage unit. So as I've been preparing for school the past couple of days, I've also had to pay attention to people who are calling about the house. Wish us luck!
One week later...
Well, the first 4 days of school have been alright. With the switching of classrooms, I'm still not completely organized and there are somethings that I can't find. We also are using a new math book so I don't just know what is in it and in what order. We also have changed our rotations of SocSt, Sci, and Health so I've had to adjust my lessons to fit the new schedule. And for some strange reason, nobody at school can print except for the principal. So things that I really need to print, I've had to put the document on a jump drive and take it to the principal's computer to print. Not very convenient, but better than nothing. My class is pretty good, I just wish I had more time for replanning things. I have a few students who are siblings of past students, and that can be fun.
Yesterday we had a couple come see our house, and they really liked it. And at this exact moment we are waiting for their offer to get to our email account!
Sometime later...
Offer looks good!! We are signing!!! YEAH!! Pray that everything goes through with both houses!!

Wow.. your life is busy.
Congratulations on the house.
Miss you!
That is so exciting! I hope the houses both go through well! Also, I hope things get a little easier at school. That sounds a little crazy! I'm glad the principal is good about sharing the computer!
Wow! What a whirlwind. Congratulations on buying and showing and selling and teaching all at the same time. And remaining (apparently) sane. Love you!
Wowsers! You've got a lot going on. I'm a little jealous--I've got the craziness of moving coming up but nothing to look forward to like a cute little house of our own. Lucky!
Good luck with everything going through!
I had no idea you could juggle so well! Congratulations and best of luck in all your exciting new developments. Love you!
Woohoo! Let us know when we can come over and help some more with the packing/moving, (not the teaching of sixth grade!) since we're home again. I hope things calm down for you at school!
Great job at selling quickly! I am totally amazed - having just bought a home on the market for over 250 days and sold my previous home in (what I thought was short) less than 70 days. It sounds like the market there really moves.
Congratulations!
