Maison à vendre / House for Sale

Our house went up for sale today... sort of exciting but sort of sad at the same time. Our first house, and we've put a lot of energy into renovating it to make a little profit... and the Saskatoon market is also in our favour right now so we can't wait to see what we'll walk away with. We're selling it on our own for the first week to see if we can get it done without an agent. We have 2 open houses this weekend already. The house looks better than before doesn't it? No more pink/purple facia!! Who the f--- thinks to put such colors on a house, I don't know. I guess we're also the idiots who bought it though and kept it there for 2 years!

JM is really tired from finishing all the renos, he's been working non stop. Not only on the house, but at work as well, trying to finish the last details of his thesis. And not to mention doing the things that Chris can't do anymore (or that he won't let her do - but we won't go there right now). We can't wait to have a weekend just to relax. But we know that once this house is sold, it will just be one adventure after another... buying a house... paperwork... baby... packing... moving... unpacking. Hurh. We just don't want to think about it right now, too much all at once. Hopefully we can enjoy ourselves a bit in the middle of all that.

For the moment, we're just excited to see what kind of investment this will turn out to be. We' ve already pinpointed a few properties in Guelph which could be good investments as well, so that's also getting us excited. And that's aside from the exciting belly thing that could happen anytime now. Chris also can't wait to get a baby room started. It's been a downer that we have not been able to get that ready in this house, but since we won't even be here a month with the baby, it isn't worth it. And Chris is also excited to finish work, her last day is Friday July 13th, 2 weeks left. And yes, Friday the 13th... so in-tune to the theme of this job. And baby is due 2 weeks after that, July 28th... although we both wish it was sooner, but for very different reasons!

So cross your fingers for us that we can get this place sold this week... the sooner we can do that, the sooner we can look at moving back out east! ;)
