Timeline

We do not have a set move date. Chip has several (8) weeks of training. They are predicting we will move sometime in April. Chip and I are going up to Little Rock later this week for a few days to look for something to rent. An actual move date would be nice but we will just take each day as it comes I guess.

We put our house up for sale this weekend. It actually went on a fsbo website on Friday night. We showed it once last night and twice today. One lady we think will make a predicated offer. She has to sell her home out of town but has been wanting to get into our neighborhood. Two of her three kids live in Baton Rouge and her daughter lives in this neighborhood.

I have been praying specifically that it will sell by owner by the time we move. So, we have some time but not much. I am hoping to build some good habits over the next few weeks. Keeping the house in "show condition" is going to be a challenge by myself. My goal is to straighten every night before bed so that it is not overwhelming when someone calls. A clean and tidy house is so peaceful. I really do love it. And it looks so much prettier that way. By the way, I think my house is photogenic. I do not know that it is that pretty in person. And we did not pay close to our asking price in case you were wondering. We got a really great deal on this house. It is just a starting point. Obviously hoping for a profit. But also it gives us some wiggle room. Every buyer loves to think they are getting a deal, right :)
