Officially on the market

We are one step closer! The house officially went on the market on Friday and we have our first showing this afternoon. Since this is our first home, we have never gone through this process before. I am a little nervous about trying to keep the house “show ready” with two kids, ages 5 and 2. Not to mention that my little one goes to bed incredibly early and I would imagine that a lot of people probably look at houses in the evenings. This will be an experience! We are just hoping it sells quickly –although in this market, we are not counting on it. On the England front, my husband is doing well. He comes home on Friday and will stay for two weeks before he goes back to England again. That will hopefully be his last trip over there alone –the plan is, when he comes back to the US again, it will be in March when we are all ready to go (dates still to be determined, but hopefully decided very soon!). On Saturday, we have a PODS storage container coming to the house, and we are planning on loading it up with the items that are NOT going with us to England. It will have to be redelivered prior to us leaving, for the furniture we are still using but not taking with us. I can’t wait until my to-do list starts getting smaller instead of longer!
