We put our house on the market on Friday, the 15th, and by the evening of Monday the 18th, after four showings in four days, we had a full price, no-appraisal-needed, cash offer contract, and three showings on Tuesday the 19th for backup contracts. We accepted their offer and now the house is under contract. Last Friday, the buyer finished their transaction that allows them to not need an appraisal from a bank for a loan, which we guess would have come in at $7,000 under our asking price. Tomorrow will be the inspection, and July 13th will be the closing, and they get the keys July 17th. I had left fresh, still cooling, chocolate chip cookies sitting on the counter for the showings. Other than the obviously huge amount of time, money, and hard work we put into the house over the past two years, you know it was my cookies that did it.
Yesterday, Memorial Day, we took the morning off from house hunting so I could run the Bolder Boulder. I finished, without walking or stopping, in 1 hour, 17 minutes, and 30 seconds. That is really darned good for 7 months pregnant- I am proud of myself. It is not nearly as good as my times from early college or even the time I ran it without having run in 4 years solid. The doctor had agreed to let me “run†it as long as it wasn’t for time and I stayed well hydrated and didn’t exhaust myself. I am sore today as one of my calf muscles cramped up before the first mile, and still has a walnut sized knot in it. But I finished. 🙂 Baby apparently slept through the whole thing and doesn’t seem to be stressed or upset, so, mission accomplished. Baby and I ran the Bolder Boulder.
