Sold

Today it became official. We accepted an offer from a potential buyer for our house. It has been on the market since early May and today it finally sold. We are still waiting for the pending home inspection and radon test but I don't think we'll have a problem with that. So after five years on Drummond Street we get ready to say goodbye to our first home.

This has been a great home for us and we're going to miss it. I'll miss banging my head into the ceiling upstairs every time I reach for a book off of the book shelves. I'll miss the goofy entertainment room (formerly the MAN ROOM) in the basement which also doubles as my music library. I'll miss the backyard, the neighborhood, the Thanksgivings we've hosted. I love the way the sun pours into our living room each morning; the bright winter mornings and the filtered light of fall. I'll miss our ridiculous wildflower garden in the front and our patchy vegetable garden in the backyard. Most of all I'll miss being home.

With that being said, we need to start packing. Our closing date is July 12 and it will come faster than we can imagine. We have to pack our whole house plus there's a lot to get rid of in the next fourteen days. We're going to start next week because both Kaia and I will be out of town for the weekend. She's hanging out in Minneapolis and I will be in San Francisco. This is actually a good scenario because if I left town and Kaia were home alone she might have thrown out or donated all of our worldly possessions by the time I return. We'll tackle it together I think.

Let the countdown to closing begin!
