SOLD. SOLD. SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA HA HA the funniest thing happened. I blogged yesterday about the showing on Saturday, what a pain, they came in the middle of packing and we didn't hear anything, so obviously they didn't like it...WELL, it turns out they LOVED it. LOVED it so much, in fact, that (long story short) they wrote up an offer and we sold it! Last night! Here's how it all went down (b/c I need to remember this later).

• (mid morning Monday) Our realtor emails us that the family really liked the house and might write an offer!
• An hour later, our realtor emails us an offer! A legit one! (no low balling here)
• We counter!
• They counter!
• We stew while I'm on my way home from work (crying, mind you. this is our FIRST HOUSE with all the memories and emotional attachment, you know). Adam is worried they won't let us counter one more time. I said they would have wrote $X FIRM if they meant it. Adam talked to Sara. She's brilliant and agreed with me that we should counter one more time.
• We counter!
• We wait. UGH.
• I'm talking to my SIL about something on the phone. The phone practically implodes (it's the house phone so I'm not so good at working it - not ours). I realize Sara's calling. I call her right back.
• Confusion about who called who.
• "You got the deal! House is sold!"
• I do the happy dance in the bedroom where I had been on the phone. I get details I will remember for a nanosecond and then promptly forget because HELLO! We just sold our house successfully!
• I sit on the couch and text Adam who is sitting in the recliner (longest. 7 minutes. ever. for him to check the phone that is practically attached to his hand).
• He finally sees he has 5 texts from me and falls off his chair while reading them.
• CHAMPAGNE!! We sold our house!

See? I like this game. Now is trying to figure out if we have to get our stuff out sooner than Dec. 21st as planned...either way - YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYYYYY! And that is how we sold our house.
