CLOSING DAY IS HERE...

And I'm a little bit sad (to say the least).  I'm not sad to leave the house anymore... I'm actually quite irritated at it (and some businesses!) because we had to spend so much money in the last couple of weeks to fix her up (doing somethings that I thought were ok and others that I did not agree with).  But I'm sad because it should be a really happy day (being debt free is quite exciting) and I just miss our furry little friend.  Chicago just doesn't feel right, right now.  I do think that Mr. D and I will be going out to celebrate this big occasion (because we must) so I'll have to let you know where we end up!

This is my first awful attempt at taking video.  Just a heads up, it's kind of long (but hey, it was taken for my memory so I wanted to get everything).  This is a video of the very last time we walked through our house.  It was all empty and kind of a sad place to be.  And this is pre-plumbing work so who knows what it looks like now!

This is how we left it and how we (as a family of 3) loved this house.



I'm sad to say that we didn't do this when it was all furnished (uggh!) but you can find some pretty good pictures on the website that our agent put together for the sale of the house.  You can find that here.  I'm hoping to get the pictures from him because I'm sure one day this website will be gone.

We loved you house (and your pretty yellow door)!  We will miss you so...

XOXO

TODAY'S INCANTATION

I cannot tell you how many times I've repeated the last line today... over and over and over again.

Selling the house is quite possibly one of the most unpleasant things I've had to deal with. The likely hood of us even thinking of buying another home is shrinking by the minute. This has easily over taken the heart wrenching moment I paid UPS to have my wedding dress shipped to another bride!

Tomorrow I'm hoping for a more uplifting post!  I'm off to watch a video that can make me smile... you can find it here.

XOXO
