In March we had our real estate agent come to our house with her decorator. They gave us a 3 page list of things to do. Selling a house is all about staging it appropriately. Empty 1/2 your contents, rearrange, paint and hang art. We did that in April.
In May we put our house on the market. We had dozens of showings. We sold it in June. We made arrangements for a place to live between closing and moving (a hotel was our option, as no one in Lubbock will do a 30 day rental!!), storing the contents of the house until we move, moving van, labor to move our stuff, utilities off, utilities on, mail stopped, mail started, medical records ordered, work moved to other Project Managers, etc....June and July have been busy.
We were supposed to close on 7/31. We still haven't closed on our house. We are now scheduled for Friday 8/8/8 at 11:00 am.
Family arrives on Thursday/Friday. Graduation is Saturday. We have dinners, receptions, brunches all scheduled for Friday/Saturday/Sunday. The kids and I will go back with my parents - to get out of the hotel, do laundry, let Rachel see the grandparents, maybe see friends while we are there for 2 days. Michael (and the dogs) will have the truck loaded Monday and drive to OKC. He will see friends on Tuesday.
We all go to St. Louis on Wednesday and Columbus on Thursday. We'll stay in a hotel on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Hopefully the truck will be there on Friday and we'll move in.
I apologize for not posting sooner. It has been a whirlwind.
