We have GREAT news! We close on our house in Florida today!! Technically WE closed on it yesterday, because we had to fill out the paperwork here and then overnight it to Florida for the buyers to fill out today.
It is such a relief to finally be rid of the house. The whole process was a nightmare because the value of our house has gone down so much since we bought it. Even though we sold it for 100% market value, it was still about $30K less than what was left on our mortgage. Fortunately our bank approved the short-sale and we don’t have to pay back the difference!!! We got so lucky!
Other than that there really hasn’t been a whole lot going on here. Garrett and I have both been busy with work, so the weekends are time for us to be lazy. A few weekends ago we watched all the Ocean’s movies in one day.
It's also been really cold! Here’s a picture from a few weeks ago when we had ice cycles on everything. It was so pretty!
It's been so cold, in fact, that I knit a scarf for Garrett and he actually wore it!! Needless to say, it’s been too cold for me to do much exercising outdoors (plus the daylight is short), so last weekend we found a Gazelle exercise machine on Craig’s List for really cheap! We went to Decatur to get it, which is on the other side of Forth Worth, so we got to do some sight-seeing while we were out.
We passed by this petrified wood gas station, which we HAD to get a picture of!
This weekend we plan to check out some antique stores and watch Slumdog Millionaire. We can’t wait!!
Have a great weekend everyone!
P.S. This picture is for Shawn. He’ll know why!
