This thing just got a lot more real...

So after our house being on the market for just over a month with not much activity in the beginning, we ended up in a double offer situation. Initially we accepted a conditional offer based on the sale of someone else's home but with a 48 hour clause for them to remove conditions if we got another offer. Well, yesterday we got our second offer and today the people who offered first removed their conditions which means that the house is officially sold. No turning back now. It has been tough to go through this journey so much alone. Jeremy has been gone so much and most of the conversations that we have had about this have been via text or phone. (You thought selling your house was complicated normally...try dealing with offers while one of you is 3000 kms away!) He sent me a text tonight saying the following: "I love you babe. I'm excited to shake things up." I am excited too, but sad kind of at the same time. Last night I stood in my hallway and I cried. The house was so quiet, Bryson and Cooper (my dog child) were sleeping and I thought about all of the memories in this little house and in this city. I've also thought a lot about the people (family and friends) that we are leaving behind and how hard it will be to step into the car when that day comes, and now that date is clear in my mind as a reality and not a possibility. It's funny how much you realize what you have when it is about to be a lot less accessible to you. I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life and I have no way to ever repay each and every one of you for the kindness and immeasurable gifts that you have given us. In many ways, I wish that it didn't take such a drastic step for me to realize the richness of my life as it is in this very moment. I love you all and more posts to come. It's about to get crazy...
