We contacted our realtor and started the process to make an offer on the house. We needed to sell our current house to make the deal work, so after a few back and forth negotiations we agreed on a price for the new house, including a contingency for our house to sell first.
We spent the next couple weeks working on the house to get it ready to sell. New paint, carpets cleaned, everything depersonalized, new kitchen cabinets, counters, and floor. It was a lot of work, but the house looked great.
Then we had to return to Boston so I could finish working, we hoped to sell the house, complete the offer on the new house and be able to move into the new house when we returned in July.
Throughout this entire process we decided that we wouldn't fight it. Everything felt right and seemed to be falling into place. Deena and I agreed that if it was meant to be, it would happen, and we would set aside our typical "type A" personalities and allow the deal to go through, rather then pushing and trying to force it to happen.
We had an opportunity to attend the Elliott Lake Ward, which would be our new ward if everything worked out. We were thrilled with the ward members there. So far it seemed that everything was on track.
