Anyone who knows me will understand why I'm not jumping up and down and screaming and laughing as I tell you that we have a contract on the house.
!!!!!
Yes, I am SOOOOO excited, but I'm also now able to focus on a whole new set of worries--the inspection and appraisal.
That crappy day Sunday? It was punctuated with a spontaneous visit by a couple of house hunters who thought I was having an open house. I turned them away, but encouraged them to set up an appointment to see the house later that day. They came back about 2 hours later and stayed for about 1/2 hour (we were cussing them, actually, as we had been on THREE different walks that day and we were hot and worn out--Bucket just flat out refused to move at one point!)...Monica phoned around 9 or 9:30 that night to say that they wanted to make an offer. Woohoo.
To shorten an epic tale, they offered, we countered, they countered, and now we are set to sign on the 13th of September--a year and a day after we signed to get the house in the first place. Yep. It's quick. They needed to sign early to get the interest rate they locked down...but they've agreed to let us occupy the house for up to a week after signing in case Russell can't find a rental house for us quickly enough.
So you see, the stress is just beginning!! Still and all, I'm very happy that I will soon be in my honey's arms again!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!
I am really happy for ya'll. NOw the fun of packing and moving start :)
Tell Russell we said Hi and pet the pups for us.
Woooo hoooooo!!! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed and make the critter do the same with their paws here in Portland. I am thrilled that you are getting to move on ahead with your life and back with Russell! I'm sure it's not too soon that it happened. Kind of wild, a year and a day later you sign to sell.
I'm going to guess that Russell will have a house lined up sooner than you think (I'm sure he misses you as much as you miss him).
Happiness for you.
Shanny
