We finally sold the house we lived in. Which is awesome- there is no going back.
It was pretty stressful including Husband having to run to home depot to buy two new fire alarms 5 min before closing. The guy they had was an idiot- we still have to go to a notary and get this form signed because they misspelled the buyers names. Guy was a douche- if you need a lawyer not to use, he is top of my list. I never got to see the house finished though.
But anyway! So that is a hell of a lot of money we are no longer wasting. I ended up having to consult a lawyer because there was someone involved trying to prevent the sale- because she thought our buyers were weird- reported that shit to the state!
We ended up spending a week and a half total at home (as I will call it) We got to see most everyone, but not everyone.We got to do train rides and fireworks. It was a great experience.
It was so weird going back we had forgotten we had moved away. For Husband it has not been as long as it was for me. However we found ourselves trying to drive back to our old house, which was not far from where we were staying.
There are somethings I'll miss- like fall and winter. However there is a certain amount of drama that I will not miss. Also I don't think I'll be making the trip again any time soon. It was gruesome on my body and mind. There are only so many hours parents can spend in a car with kids.
We left, quiet literally, right after my last appointment. Drove through the night (encountered a trucker who's wheel had popped and he crashed into rocks, setting his cab on fire) and got home very and utterly exhausted.
Grandma's bed was so stinking hard. and after a few days the grandparents got grumpy so we took the kids away to a hotel and took them to story land- where I basically rode the train with James the whole time!
I experienced cold I haven't seen in months. Wore sweat pants and a sweater outside- because burr. Tasted coffee at my old store- it was gross, and got a night away from the kids. Other than the driving it was basically same shit different day pain wise. Husband and my dad walked Big down to the town train station every day to watch the "yard goat". Big was just excited to be that close to trains, something we don't do here because there are no acceptable train stations.
However the big thing is we got rid of the house. No more stress, no more worry. Now, we can replenish the savings we were carving into paying for two places.
