Countdown

Another big thing can now be scratched off the list…I sold my condo this weekend! Saturday evening we were out for sushi when I learned that an offer was coming in. We raced back to my condo to meet my realtor and the other parties' realtor. I was nervous but it ended up being a very fair offer, just slightly lower than my asking price. After discussing it with Eli, we decided to counteroffer and they accepted. I can see why real estate appeals to so many people. It is exciting and there is a definite adrenaline rush when the deal is done!

It's very strange for me to think of someone else living in my condo. It was built by a developer who allowed a great deal of customization in the units so I was able to pick everything from the type of tile used on the backsplash to the type of hardwood floors that were used. I remember pouring over tiny samples trying to decide what would look good on a larger scale. I wanted it to feel warm and welcoming so I chose earthy brown colours highlighted with yellows, oranges, and reds. For the bathrooms, I wanted it to feel cool and relaxing so I went with a deep blue colour. These aren't great pictures but they give you an idea:





This weekend we also had a yard sale on Eli's front lawn. It was very successful and great fun! We both got rid of a ton of stuff and made some money which will definitely help with our move. We also got to see lots of friends and spend a whole afternoon in the sunshine! Now, all that's really left for us is to pack and finish our last weeks at our jobs.

Countdown: 33 days!
