We sold our house today!

Posted on 19:05 by Unknown
Our real estate saga is over! Mortgage #1 is paid off. Home equity loan is paid off. Mortgage #2 is refinanced. House #2 is bought. House #1 is SOLD! Leaving us with just ONE mortgage, which isn't that much more than our old mortgage, and ONE house, which god willing, we will live in until our little legs can no longer carry us up and down the stairs.

We deposited a large check today. Our financial cushion is back! No more panic when the car breaks down. No need to feel guilty about the maternity clothes I bought over the weekend at a real store instead of from some Craigslist person with three cats. No more constant refrain of, "Let's talk about that after we sell the house."

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. All the real estate and financial transactions are done. Election day is over. We can just think about normal things and go about our normal lives for the next few months, until the baby arrives and our world is rocked again.
