Our first showing

So we've been on the market for 2 1/2 weeks now, and we haven't had any showings . . . until today - the day we are packing so we can leave for our trip to Minnesota tomorrow morning. I get a call and I have just over an hour to clean everything up (including all of our packed suitcases) and get myself, Brigham, and Hudson out the door. As I was huffing and puffing up and down the stairs, sweating, vacuuming, and yelling at the boys to please go downstairs and watch a movie, I thought, "I can't do this. We might implode." I hope this house sells soon. I need a nap.

Okay, here are some pictures from the Realtor's website.

It's on

Okay, so we're officially on the market, and I can't believe how nice it is to be finished with all of our house projects!! As Chris and I dropped in our bed late (again) on one of our last project nights, he said, "This makes me never want to own a house again." I completely agree, and I am sooo extremely excited to rent a house while we're in Rochester. I don't want to have another house until we can afford to pay someone to do these projects. At this stage in the game, I think it's totally worth the money!
I do think we need to move now that everything's nice and new because living here ruins all of our efforts. I'm seeing scuffs and dents and smudges and dust and crumbs in places that looked brand new not too long ago. I'm hoping for cloudy days, or at least for evening showings so things don't show up as well.
I'll post some pictures soon. I keep meaning to, but I can't keep the house nice enough to go around and take pictures. Hmm . . . maybe one room at a time.
