The landlord has scheduled a showing of our house today at 2:00 in the afternoon. I hope that the first looky-loos take it, which is doubtful, so that means that we'll be living in a fish bowl for who knows how long. Of course, we'll be looking at houses, too, so I guess I can't complain. We're hoping to look at a house we drove by over the weekend. If we like the inside, we're taking it immediately, although we can't move in until August first.I hate moving, but Nettl and are really looking forward to simplifying by downsizing by about 600 square feet. We're really warming up to a more cottage life, with a big back yard full of trees, and putting in flower beds and a vegetable garden together. Sure, I'd rather be moving to Vienna like we wanted, or California, but we have to be realistic here. Maybe one of those will come later. Meantime, we'll make the best of things. We have a great family, so anywhere we live will be warm and homey.

I only wonder what they will say when they find out that the downstairs bath doesn't have a stand-up shower like the brochure says it does. There are 2 1/2 baths in this house, but only one shower.
Good luck! :-)
(I am still not ready to talk about the trauma of the months which I spent getting our house ready to be shown every single day by 8 am - I hope your trials pass soon!)
Moving does suck. And you are right. It's not where you are but who you are with that truly counts.
god, i hate moving... i think i would stay in a house i couldnt stand over the trouble of moving to a new house.... i usually have to be literally forced to do it.
We are being forced. The landlord is raising the rent by $200 to $300. Ridiculous, especially here, and during the financial crisis this country is in.
I've found another house, larger than this one, nicer, and with all the amenities for nearly $250 LESS. Plus, we can have pets.
Yes, my wife and I have sold the two houses we owned before we met in the last 2 years. And bought a new one, some times all it feels like we have done is move.
We tell each other, (and anyone else who will listen), that we are going to die in the house we own now... No more moving!!!
I am so happy that you have found a new home, Steph! :-)
I don't like the physical activity of moving, but the idea of moving is always fun to me.
