We had our appraisal Friday. The guy called at about 11 and said he would be here around 3. He had a hard time finding the house so he arrived closer to 4 and I was ready for his arrival. We cleaned the house (by we I mean me and my dear friend Mandy who was here for a playdate when I got the call) and I baked some cookies to make sure it smelled nice. The appraiser was probably only in the house for about 10 minutes. 2 of those minutes were a tour of Natalie's room by Natalie herself and another 2 minutes were spent eating a cookie. He seemed surprised when we went downstairs and he found 2 more bedrooms, a garage and a fireplace. I am glad I was home to make sure he was able to see everything... even if it was only for a minute. Hope to have the results this week sometime.
The hiring authority for Los Alamitos approved a full move for us. We don't have all the final details (the story of our lives the past 6 months) but we know that would at least mean movers. I have already ordered boxes to start packing myself so we aren't sure if we could get money instead of movers. Again- we should find out this week.
As for Arizona, we still haven't received a final offer from them. Not sure how long we can stall California so we can make our final final decision. I'm hoping to start packing tomorrow - maybe going through stuff and selling/donating things will help me burn off some of this nervous energy.
Praying for peace and calm for you Steph! I know how crazy moving is, and the added what if's and waiting to see what happens that you have with this move can't be much fun. (although the anticipation of what the future holds can be!)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the sale of the house!
