This is the last blog post that will be written from our Chestermere house. Today is moving day!!!! Moving truck will be here in about 5 hours & for the most part, we're ready to go. Our 16' sea-can pod was moved out to the new house on Thursday. Since then we've been emptying rooms, cleaning and loading furniture into the garage and the main level to try and have the truck loading go as smoothly and organized as possible. After all my complaining and stressing...I think having more time on this end definitely was helpful as the packing process was very organized as we didn't have to pack in a rush. And, of course, if the packing process was organized....that makes for an organized un-packing. Keith didn't have to go to the lake this past weekend - so we got a lot done. 3-4 loads to the dump...furniture moved...and also put some unwanted furniture out on the lawn for free...it was all gone within an hour. That in itself was probably 2 dump loads - so glad that someone could use it.
Now the moving truck is coming this afternoon & I'm hoping to be headed to the new house soon to start cleaning and getting ready to move stuff in. I feel surprisingly calm....which is probably a good thing. As the house got more and more empty yesterday...memories started to flood in. Keith and I got married in this house. Babies were brought home here...had first steps here...lots of good memories. But the thought of a new place, new memories....makes for a very exciting time.
So now this is the end of this chapter. We've loved this house....we've loved this town....now onto the next chapter....

I commend you on your rant & demand of what you want.
I threatened to pullout of our deal when the woman that was buying our place started getting pissy. She wanted to knock an extra $1,000 off the the purchase price of our place (which we listed for $10,000 less than we wanted & then she offered $10,000 less than that), she wanted to take possession a week earlier than originally agreed...which would mean she wanted to call herself our "landlord" & wanted us to pay her $100 for every day that we were in HER house.
I told our realtor (who was also hers) that "I love the house down in the SW, but that I was perfectly happy in the NE & didn't need the SW house." He freaked & took the $1,000 hit. Then we ended up getting taking possession the week early.
