NY is finally behind us

This week marks the official end to our relocation adventure to Boise. The sale of the house in Montgomery, NY finally closed on Thursday after a year of being on the market and 1 deal that fell through in the process. It also felt good that the lady buying it fell in love with the old bitch just like we had done 10 years ago. When selling an old house, you need someone who sees charm, history, and potential; not one who sees issues or problems. We were luck enough to find someone who saw the house just as we did.

It's strange since I'd actually gotten used to the feeling of the house not selling. When everything you hear from friends and the media is how crappy the housing market is and how nothing is selling, you tend to believe that your house may end being bound to you forever like the proverbial ball & chain. Now that that part is over, I kinda feel like there must be something else to do... I know this feeling will fade and we'll finally get to begin our Idaho adventure without fear of disaster or imminent doom.

I think I'll celebrate by having a brew day :-) Plus how can I be anything but happy when I see this view from my backyard?
