Being a home owner has its ups and downs. Most of them are ups! Selling, well that is a downer. We are hoping to have our house on the market by May. Keeping our fingers crossed. I am 90% sure I can have all the painting done by the end of March and then we just have the floor left. We have been going back and forth about where to go from there. I think apartment living is what is in our future. We do not want to rush into another house that we don't love and we can't see ourselves in. Apartment living might be a little cramped and might be a pain for a while but it will give us time to figure what we want. Now, if a house falls into our laps, then it's a different story.
We spent the evening at Michael's parents house. They have just returned from Arkansas. They bought Gigi's house. She is moving at the end of March and so they are trying to figure out what stays and what goes. Basically they are pretty much stressed out! That is a complete understatement. They need a vacation on a secluded island for a week. Between figuring out what furniture stays in her house, needs to be sold or brought to her new house, to paint/wallpaper (no wallpaper!) colors, to the fact they aren't even moving till Spring 2011, it's just insanity. It sounds like they are just furnishing the place the way they want it and let it sit until the big move. If you haven't met Michael's parents, well, let us just say, they have a lot of stuff. They have to get rid of about half of it. This is going to take a team of people! I think they are going to have to have an estate sale. There is no other way around it! Just the books, the mountains and piles of books. The books alone will be an adventure. It should be an interesting year.
