It's been a week already since we've known. We are waiting to hear back from Dr. Brown's office and get in to see him to really start telling people. We have had many discussions about how to break the news to everyone. Keeping it a secret has been our biggest challenge.
Our second biggest challenge has been selling our old house. Today we met with the new realtor and put together a solid plan. We now have new carpet, new paint and this week a handyman is coming by to lay molding throughout the upstairs. Funny how we lived with all of that the way it was for nearly 4 years. We feel confident with the new realtor and look forward to him meeting his goal of selling the place within 30 days.
As he wants to get it back on the market tomorrow, I had to spend a good 3 hours there this afternoon really getting it cleaned up. We had the best painters and carpet guys, but the place still ended up needing a thorough cleaning. Of course, it didn't help that with the new paint job I had to take a break about every 20 minutes to avoid over-inhaling of the fumes. The cleaning took forever, too, because I was hesitant to use all the regular products that I might also inhale. Imagine how clean the shower got with nearly an hour of scrubbing with baking soda and vinegar.
I'm sure you are wondering why I would have to do this when I have a wonderful husband who is immensely concerned about these issues. Well, inconveniently enough, he's on a business trip to the East coast for an entire week. He left this afternoon and will be returning Friday evening. We signed papers with the agent this morning and I put him on a plane directly after. It has been a nutty weekend. We'll see how I do!
