Sold!!!

After a year and a half of having our home on the market, and after MULTIPLE deals falling through, some at the absolute last minute (I can't believe how flaky people are!), we have FINALLY sold our house!

I thought I would be a little sad; after all, this was Randall and I's very first home. And we really did love that house (and it is a lot nicer than what we are currently living in, and the view was absolutely breathtaking!). But, after everything we've been through trying to get it sold, I'm just so.... relieved! Ecstatic! No more paying a mortgage on a home we don't live in anymore! Time to celebrate! We had to settle on a much lower selling price, but with the housing market in the slump that it is, I'm feeling very grateful to have it sold. It's all about perspective, isn't it?

This is what our house looked like when we moved in, fall 2005. Yep, the yard needed A LOT of work!

This is how our house looked, summer 2007.

This is what we left behind, Feb. 2008. Check out that snow drift!
