The Move is Happening

We now have a moving date (maybe).  The date seems to be set and we have arranged everything with United Van Lines to pack us on one day and pick up the next.  My car will be picked up the beginning of February to be transported to South Carolina.  We will have to share the Explorer, that is the company truck, between us for a couple of weeks.

We have the house back on the market and we have had many views once again but no offers.  Frustrating!  We did have one couple back a second time which was unexpected as we did not know they were coming, the house was not straightened up, and the realtor thought we were not home so entered by the lock box.  SURPRISE!  There was even a couple that was tagging along with the realtor to see the property in addition to the couple seeing the second time.

We really didn't know what to do but we stayed out of the way the best everyone could.  Tony, Abby, Gabe, Sophia, and us, just looked at one another.  We did ask if they could come back in a half hour so we could present the house in a better condition but they didn't seem to mind.

I don't know where the break down in communication happened.  The realtor that was showing the house said she made the appointment with our realtor.  Our realtor did not say anything to us about anyone showing up.  Was this a bad thing for us to have happen?  Who knows, as it is what it is.  If they were looking for that clean look then they should have given us the time to clean up.

We have gone through everything one more time to make sure we won't be taking anything we don't really need.  We will be leaving a lot of furniture behind because, one, we won't need it for the South Carolina house, and two, so the house looks furnished.  Once the house is sold, the furniture we have in the house will be donated to the Marines for the families that need help.

The move has been happening very quickly.  I am on board with everything but I am still trying to get all the records and appointments needed done before the move.  Always something happening with never a dull, boring moment.

Will this be our last move?  I really hope so but I will not say never will we move again.  I just wish we were closer to family but at least we will have the freedom to travel at our own time when we want and as long as we want.
