Hey Friends!
We got a conditional offer on our house last night! I’m
running around collecting condo documents, ensuring everything is ready for the
home inspection and preparing to sell more stuff on Kijiji.... The offer goes
firm in 10 days – so I’ll keep you posted. April 27 could be our last day in our home!
Side Note about keeping stuff: We’re getting a storage
locker for some things {mainly family heirlooms, old business records, etc} but
I’ve been mentally adding other things from around the house to it… Remember
here when I had a hard time selling my bike? Yep – the same thing is happening
for our bedroom suite. I know, I know – just sell it you’re saying {Juliano’s
with you on that one}.
Talking to Juliano last night {who has been endlessly
patient with my unreasonable amount of attachment to stuff – good Buddhist, I
am not} I realized that we bought that bedroom suite as a newly married couple.
We had everything from our first arguments – to secret whispers about making trip
plans here… it represents the stability of the work we’ve put into this
marriage and this home we’ve built together. How can I sell that?!?!
But I can. I’ll list the bedroom set, and it will sell. But
it won’t be my marriage and my home going out the door with it – it will just
be some {nice} furniture. Selling our things has been way more difficult than I
was expecting and trying to reconcile that has been a work in progress – it’s
not as easy as it looks!
I don’t want to sound like I’m throwing a pity-party here –
just keeping it real on the de Brito front!
Fingers crossed big time!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We need it this week :)
DeleteCongrats on your offer!!! I completely understand the emotional attachment to your bedroom set and what it means to you. I went through the same thing while we were selling our house. We'd put so much work and love and hope for our future into the house- I guess I was somehow afraid that if we sold the house we were selling a little bit of love for each other too. I can now tell you that that isn't the case- you'll move on and there are many bedroom sets in your future.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight! It's great to hear from someone 'one step ahead' in this crazy process!
DeleteWow, Congrats! I hope it all goes through in the end. So exciting but i'm sure a bit scary too. Looking forward to hearing about all the adventures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anwar! It is a bit scary... but we're working hard to keep moving forward!
