A new journey has begun

Happy Sunday to all!  Not a Spring day for sure in Huntsville and in most of Southern Ontario, where I gather there is quite of bit of snow on the way.  As for us, it is sunny but a cool -7 celsius.  We did get about 5 cm of snow last night and I heard we could get up to 20 cm by Wednesday.  Will April snow bring May flowers?

All is good with us and it's been a very busy week.  On Thursday morning, the SOLD sign on our house went up. Nothing like the red sticker to make it more real.  Shortly after, we left for Burlington for another round of house hunting.  Friday morning, we found the perfect house, made an offer, and we lost it.  There is nothing we, or our agent, could have done more.  That's just the way the real estate game is played.  Some people loose, some win and we are learning how to win this game.  So, our journey to finding a new home continues. It is stressful but we will get there.  Two things are for sure:  first, June 28 is the closing date on our Huntsville home so by then, we have to be out of here.  Second, we have no regrets whatsoever about selling our house.  We are doing this for all the right reasons and we look forward to a new adventure. The right home will come along, it's just a matter of when.

Meanwhile, the Realtor.ca website has become our new best virtual friend.  Whenever we have some free time, Russell and I are both searching and looking at houses, although photos and videos of houses can be very deceiving.  We have a very good agent who is doing her very best to find us the perfect home.  It will come.

As for Cooper, he is just going along with whatever we're doing.  He has been at Talemaker Camp quite a bit for the past few weeks and he's been having a good time.  We are grateful and so lucky to be able to rely on Darlah and Nathan to take care of him whenever we have to pick up and go. As our search continues, timing will become more critical and we will need to drop everything we're doing in Huntsville and head for Burlington, as potential new listings come up.  Knowing that our Coop is well taken care of is a big relief for us.

Not much else is going on ....... looking for a new house is plenty.  It is our primary focus at the moment, then we will start thinking about the move itself.

That's about it for this week's blog.  We will spend the rest of the day....looking for houses.  Just kidding, almost.  I wish you all a great week!
