Normally, I don't like the smirk. Get's on a parent's nerves fast. This time though, it was so cute.

Sold!!!

That's right, our house is sold. That was fast. We had 3 offers in the first week. We accepted the selling offer after 6 days on the market! We got what we were looking for and we have lots of time to purchase and move as it is a July possesion date. Now the fun of looking for a new house is in the works. I'll keep you posted on what and when.

As some of you are aware, we are moving. Our house is pending now so we are looking on the mls.ca site for houses. This house on the photo of my monitor is winning the race out of 7 or 8. It's the second one from the top, I have a note around it. I hope it is still available next weekend when we go to look at it.

This is the warning label on the back of my 2 way radio I use every day at work. It's on the back but hidden under the battery. When we looked up what the regulations are we found that you are not supposed to be exposed to more than 8 hours of radiation from this device per day. Most of us work 9 to 12 hours with it.

My Son is playing soccer this year and I got to work the bingo this time around. I was stuck in the "Sheet Cell". Take it from me, volunteer to sell stuff on the floor. Talk about bored!

House Ready To Market!

We have listed our house! Trying to not get our hopes up is hard to do. We need it to move fast and for as close to the asking as possible.

I have some pictures below that show how it is these days. We've really done lots of work over the last 6 years.

Selling Our House!!!

So after much thought and consideration, we have decided to sell our house and purchase a new one. A larger one that will work better for our family. It's a stressful and insane period in our lives to say the least.

What does this have to do with photography? Well, I'm going to take photos of our house now, and of the houses we are thinking of purchasing.

Keep checking back.
