Goodbye House, Hello New Life

So our house is officially on the market.

We met with our realtor today. He was painfully honest. He said there is a chance we'll lose money (like most sellers in GR) and to expect it to take awhile to sell. Although, I appreciate him not sugar coating it, it's still hard news to swallow.

However, I'm choosing to remain optimistic. It only takes one interested person. I think it's a cute house. Someone else has to think so too. Angela, you do not count :)

So if you know anyone interested in purchasing a house, let me know. I'm looking for a quick sale. I can't keep my house immaculate 24 hours a day for very long :)

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Ok so I may not be rich but I'm about to become famous :)

How you may ask? Rachel, Mike and I were in our first movie video!!

There is a video series called Nooma (www.nooma.com) and the production crew has been staying at our hotel. Rachel made friends with the AD (Asst Director for all non-movie actors :)) and asked if we wanted to be extras in the movie. We jumped on the chance and spent a couple hours downtown last night filming. It was oodles of fun. We really think this might be our big break, right Rach?

So watch out Hollywood, here we come :)

Hi Old Friend

So I've been a slacker and haven't wrote in days. Not only have I been busy but I also didn't feel like I had much to write about.

Mike and I had a fabulous time on our vacay. We had a great time catching up with old friends, being in the warm sun, exploring a new beautiful city, and spending time together celebrating our first anniversary.

I've been working pretty much ever since we got back from vacation. I luckily had Memorial Day off. We spent the day house hunting and then went to Merr and James' house for a cookout. It was a nice evening with the kids being the highlight, as always :) What can I say, I have the cutest nephews around!

So the big news in the M household is: WE ARE SELLING OUR HOUSE!! We've been struggling with this for awhile. Some of you may remember, we contacted a Realtor last September and we kind of put everything on hold. We've become more and more frustrated with our current living situation. So we are de-cluttering the house (sorry mom and dad, you are about to get a bunch of my stuff back) and doing a few projects before listing the house. Our hope is to have it listed by next week.

We've also found a house that we are in L-O-V-E with!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Everyone knows Michigan housing market blows, so who knows how long our house will sit on the market. I'm sure by the time our house sells, our "dream" home will be sold but I can still hope, right? We are hoping to talk to the builders to see if they are building anymore in the same development. They also have a few guarantees in terms of your current home selling before your house is ready (etc) which we are going to look into as well.

Well I should get going and do somethings around the house. Mike's been out boating with Brandon and will be home soon. I should probably get cracking on dinner real quick. I'll end this with a picture of the house we are interested in again because I love to show it off :) Sorry they are in the wrong order.

Cuz Here I Come

Look out Florida and Georgia cuz here I come.

Mike and I are leaving at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow for Tampa. We are excited to see Nathan and Erika again. Then we'll head up to Jacksonville on Saturday to see everyone and their mother, along with eat some fab La Nop!!

Then there is Sunday; the day I'm most excited about :) Sunday we'll be in Savannah, GA hopefully eating at Paula Deen's restaurant, enjoying our first anniversary together. I'm amazed at how quickly the time has flown by.

We'll head back down to Jacksonville on Monday evening and then fly back out of Tampa late on Tuesday. Yes, it'll be a jam packed weekend but I'm excited to see close friends, old friends, favorite cities, and new cities. Mostly I'm excited to spend time with my husband and reminisce of our first year together. And hopefully see Jamie Deen LOL
