Yesterday we had the home inspection done on our new house. The "makes me tear-up" house. I'm anxious, nervous and a bit scared that we might not take it. There are some major concerns with the gutter system and water leakage. It's only 8 years old, not something that was expected. Now we wait, the back and forth between realtor's, deciding who or what will pay for the repairs. We have extended the subjects to enable the sellers to get quotes on the problem and we will not be removing subjects if an agreement is not reached. This makes me sad. I took lots of photos yesterday. Just like I did when we had the inspection on our current home. I scrapbooked those photos and I'd like to scrapbook these ones as well in my new scrapbook room. Alyra asked last night if we could take some pictures of the house we are currently in. I told her we already had lots of photos and lots of memories. We would always cherish those time and keep them close in our hearts. She is unhappy about moving. Excited about the possibilities that "this" new house holds. I remember when I moved as a teenager and how resentful I was. I hated the new house and didn't want to move there ( Alyra loves the new house). I was just happy I didn't have to commute to school on a ferry anymore. My folks are still in that house and now I can't picture them anywhere else. We are moving to PR for 3.5 weeks during the month of July. We decided not to rent our current house back and will be out by June 30th ( Don't take possession of the new house until July 25th if all works out). We will rent another storage bin (way cheaper than paying someone rent) and take the cat, dog and a few toys up to my folks house. The kids are excited and think it will be a big adventure. Never thought I'd say that I was moving home...but let's look at it as an extended vacation.
