Oh, how exciting! Good luck completing the list! I'm sure the offer was great. So happy for all of you. It'll be an adventure for sure.
ReplyDeleteSuper adventure! :-) The offer was definitely good, although any time you are moving & selling two houses . . . there are scary expenses lurking. That's for sure!
DeleteWow! This is happening fast! Moving is very exciting ... can't wait to follow along!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is! I'm trying to see as many friends as possible - it's nuts. So many people to see, so much to do before we go.
DeleteThe last "big" move we did was 13 (almost 14!) years ago when we moved from VA to CT. We were married 2 years, no kids.....I wish you all the "luck" in the world on this journey!!! It was tough doing it then....doing it now with all the kid stuff. ICK.
ReplyDeleteSo, you going to share any new house contenders???
Thanks, Mysti! We get three months of temporary housing in a district of our choosing (for school purposes) & have narrowed in on a few choices. We should have the details by Monday. From there, we will enroll the kids in school & then start the search for a longer term rental. We are not planning on buying now, and/or maybe not over the long term.
DeleteSo exciting, San Francisco is a beautiful city . We live 3 hours away in the Sierra foothills. You'll have to schedule a trip to Lake Tahoe when thing settle down . Good luck house hunting. Everything in SF is so expensive.
ReplyDeleteWe are super excited about it, and we were just talking about a getaway to Lake Tahoe once things settle. :-) We will do the temporary housing for a few months to get settled, then find a more permanent rental. We're not planning on buying at the moment, and may opt to not do it at all.
