Really clean house in a nice neighbourhood sales really well. Few weeks to go and we will be on the road. We will be travelling thru the states and actually your new location is on our list to visit. We were here just 2 1/2 yrs when my husband took that new position. We move every 3 to 4 yrs. That's life and everytime I like where I live. It makes me discover the country. <BR/><BR/>I wish you best and I feel your pain because I'm in the same situation right now.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!!!La Cuisine d'Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364824048171251506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-60641736106616143422007-06-01T19:27:00.000-04:002007-06-01T19:27:00.000-04:00Thanks so much!

After MONTHS of having our house on the place, and making two contingent offers on homes that fell through because we didn't have an offer at the time, we finally received an offer AND made an offer in the same weekend!!<BR/><BR/>And then comes the stress of inspections, scheduling moves, packing, etc...all of which we're doing now. Ugh! Not gonna want to do this again anytime soon! CERTAINLY not within a year! ;-)<BR/><BR/>If only we were in your area - sounds like you've got pretty much what we've wanted - more of a country setting, and I'd LOVE fields of alpacas or llamas or horses or even cows next door!<BR/><BR/>I wish you lots of luck in a low stress, fast moving sale!! (So I guess Jeff's job won't do a relocation thing where they buy the house and sell it for you guys, hunh?)<BR/><BR/>PS Still haven't tried quinoa - and we've had a box in the cupboard for MONTHS!

Luckily, I don't have to wait for a house to sell, though, but the planning and effort involved in moving really stinks. I was going to see if you wanted to meet in Brunswick nearby where you live when I'm in Maryland next summer, so I guess I'll just have to find another exciting locale to visit instead. Bummer. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm sending good selling vibes your way.

On the positive side, when you have shown the photographs and comments on the house in the time that you have been there, they have been nothing but positive... remember, the internet world is a large world and as you are in the country, I am sure there will be other people who live in the country wanting to move and think that your house is ideal. Anyway, best of luck to you both... and keep the recipes coming.<BR/><BR/>Anne, Edinburgh<BR/>PS I would move there, but it is just a bit too far!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-48514869404671348152007-05-31T08:02:00.000-04:002007-05-31T08:02:00.000-04:00Congratulations to both of you!
