time keeps on tickin'

Ok well the house buying process has begun. My biggest fear was that the house SELLING process was going to drag out for many months, but we seem to have found a buyer for the house in Jacksonville. It is going to be a bitter-sweet moment when everything is all done. When the house I lived in for 14 years was sold I got a little weepy even though I HATED that house. The house I own now in Jax, I actually LIKE! I have many happy memories and some sad memories in that house.

I miss it already

staking my claim

I found a house! After a month of looking my realtor sent me an MLS listing that looked really promising. As it just so happened, Deb was in town for an interview and when I showed her the listing, she loved it. So I arranged for us to look at it while she was in town and as soon as we walked in the front door she said "I WANT THIS HOUSE!" We toured the rest of the house and made an offer. They accepted it within a few hours.
We got one heck of a deal on this house because the seller was being relocated for his job. He priced it to sell... and sell it did.
Now the task at hand is to get everything packed up in Jacksonville.
In less than a month I'll be out of this depressing hotel and moving into a place I'll be able to call home.

I still have no idea where I'll be able to get my MINI Cooper and my Bug serviced up here.
