We showed the house. And here we are, not even two weeks later, and we have a signed purchase offer, and the inspection was done today, and we have a closing date.... wow, once the ball starts rolling it picks up speed.
If all goes according to plan, we'll be handing over the keys to the new owners on June 16.
And as if that wasn't enough news, I also am now officially licensed as an LCSW in North Carolina.
Things are really starting to take shape.
The family that's buying the house is exactly the kind of family we want to take it over- really sweet young family with loving, caring parents- it makes my heart happy.
And at the same time, it's a little overwhelming.
There's the whole bittersweet thing- yes, it's what I want and I'm excited about the future. But we've lived here a long time, and saying goodbye to this house, which we put so much love and work into, is going to be emotional.
Then there's the whole "waiting for the next shoe to drop" anxiety that always precedes a big change for me. Having had the other shoe drop before, I know not to ever believe anything is definite until it's done.
Oh and- right we need to clean this house out. That's definitely overwhelming.
One step at a time, though, right? It'll all come together.
So the theme for today is: Just breathe.
