It begins...
Who: Jo and Chris
What: Moving!
When: July 1st(ish)
Where: Calgary, AB to Winnipeg, MB
Why: To shed the shackles of financial oppression, and live happier lives where we get to spend more time together and not work multiple jobs. To allow Chris to go back to school and go on to live his dream of being a shepherd of the people, and for Jo to further explore her dreams of being a rock star, writing, and helping people cope with the subluxations of life.
How: A moving truck, some elbow grease, the help and unconditional love and support of family and friends.
Parents and friends have been told. Notice has been given at work. Realtor has been called. Decluttering and staging of the house has began, and we're hoping for a quick sale. Listing at $349,900, and Patricia (the realtor) says it is in the quick-moving section of the real-estate market. Looking at other houses in the similar price range, they seem to be on the market from 17-60ish days. She figures if we don't get an offer in the first 3 weeks, we'll knock it down 5 grand and see how that goes. I'm confident in her abilities as a realtor as she is freakin amazing, so I'm not too worried.
I'm working on lining up contacts for jobs out there, but for the next 2 weeks most things will take a backseat to getting our house ready. We'll be listing it on April 20th, so we have until then to get everything ready. This means moving furniture, hanging pictures, packing excess, decluttering everywhere, minor painting, cleaning up the yard, minor repairs, etc... This house has to look golden. I hate the stress of selling so the sooner we can get it done with the better.
We brought in some of my brothers furniture to brighten the place up a bit, and we need to paint on of the walls in our living room. It used to have these ugly-ass shelves that were crooked, so we took them down when moving in, but they left lots of holes in the walls. We just have to repair them, paint the wall, and we'll be all good. Well, for that wall anyway. It is a lot of work, but we are up for the challenge and it'll turn out great.
