We Are Under Contract!!

By Manuela Williams

Hi everyone! We got two offers! One we rejected and one we accepted. We accepted an offer from a nice young couple who wrote me the loveliest letter. I think my garden will be in good hands!

The inspection is Monday and I don’t anticipate any problems since we’ve replaced practically everything in the house. But you never know…. It’s never a done deal until you exchange keys

Anyway, closing is in 45 days. We have  to find a new place and pack up this one in that time period!! We’ve been looking but haven’t found anything that will work for us.

So I will be a bit busy in the coming months (as long as everything goes according to plan – knock on wood, say a prayer, send good vibes etc) 🙂

I will not have any decorating posts coming up as I’ll be packing things up,  which is too bad because fall is my favorite time to decorate. But I’ll be featuring other bloggers fall decor. I’ll also have more recipes (gotta eat no matter what), organizing posts and frugal living/money saving posts. I’m going to have a few people guest post for me as well.

I probably won’t do any decorating until we move to our new place – so I just wanted to give those that enjoy those types of posts a heads up.

I’m sad and excited all at the same time!

Thanks to all my subscribers and all you regulars  that stop by for being so patient with me and I ask that you just hang in there for a while longer. Things will go back to normal after we move and won’t it be fun to have a whole new place to organize and decorate!

    Congrats Manuela! That is wonderful! You will be all settled in no time. Well … I say this as I am still getting settled over two months after we moved, lol.

    Yes, inspections always present the unexpected. We had issues we never dreamed of on our fairly new home in NC. It was frustrating but it all worked out in the end. Good luck with the closing.

      Thanks Melissa! Yes, the last time we sold a house we had a super picky first time home buyer who wanted everything perfect and new even though it was an old house. Hopefully we won’t have the same experience this time around!

    I’m so happy for you! How nice that you really like the couple who is buying your house. Exciting times ahead, sending wishes for smooth sailing 🙂
    xo, Andrea

      Thanks Andrea! Yes, they seem like a lovely couple. They’re getting very excited about having a vegetable garden! Which makes me feel good about leaving it. 🙂

    Congrats!! I am so excited for you. Your house sold so fast! Keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth closing for you.

    August 26, 2014 at 5:26 pm

    Congrats Manuela! I hope everything goes smoothly. Happy to hear your garden will be in good hands. The people that bought our house are trying to sell already. Think they got in over their heads with the property and upkeep of it all.

    Congratulations, hope I will be able to say the same thing when ours is on the market.

  6. Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces says

    August 26, 2014 at 5:44 pm

    Congratulations, Manuela! I’ll be praying and sending good thoughts that all will go well, and you will find the new home you’ve been dreaming of…xo

    Oh, I’m so happy for you, and keeping my fingers crossed at the same time. It will be so much fun watching you choose a new place and then decorate it!

    CONGRATULATIONS! I’m so happy for you, Manuela! I hope you will find something soon ~ I’m sure you will. : )

    I knew it! Yeehaw! That’s awesome Manuela. Now the adventure begins. Now the perfect home is waiting for you to find it. Pamela

    Great news! Crossing my fingers and toes and sending good vibes that all goes well.

    So happy for you. It will be exciting to see how it all comes together with a new home now that you have buyers for yours. I’m sure it will be more fun to house shop now. You won’t worry about falling in love with something that someone else could snatch out from under you if you didn’t sell. Enjoy!

    Congratulations! What a relief to have it move so quickly…a great reward for all your hard work.

    So nice, too, that they are excited about your garden. Plus, with 45 days until closing, you’ll still get to harvest quite a bit. Win-win!

    • Manuela Williams says

      August 27, 2014 at 8:47 am

      I know! I actually will probably have to pull most of the veggies out. I was thinking of planting some cool season vegetables for them to get them started.

  13. Debbie says

    Wooooohoooooo! That is really fantastic news, and I’m so happy for you. I think it will be fun to follow as you seek the new place. Plus, I’m sure you will be able to give us many Manuela tips for the packing and moving adventure. You’re so gifting in organizational stuff like that.

    How much fun is it going to be to be able decorate up a whole new place!!

    • Manuela Williams says

      Hi Debbie, We wanted to move to the City of Decatur but after looking, that area is just out of our price range unless we go with a townhouse or move to the outskirts of the City of Decatur (or get extremely lucky). So now we’re also looking in Marietta. But we’ve decided to rent for the next year so another move is in my future and by then I’m sure I’ll be good at the whole packing and moving things. We don’t know where Savanna will wind up since she’s done with school (she just needs to tweak her demo reel) and we want to be flexible enough to re-locate with her if we can. Hoping she gets a job in Atlanta or somewhere in the South instead of California!

    Congrats…I spent the summer packing and we move this weekend – I can’t wait to see how your story unfolds…good luck with the house shopping!

    I am so excited for you and your family! Congratulations on the quick sale. Looking forward to your house hunting and getting settled in your new home.

    Fabulous Manuela! You are going to have your hands full in the next few weeks! I’ll be praying that everything goes smoothly. Don’t worry about posting, I’ll be here ready and waiting for all those lovely posts as you transform a new home!

  18. Deanna says

    August 27, 2014 at 4:07 pm

    Congratulations! That is great! It’s all very exciting!

    Looking forward to seeing what you do with your rental and then where y’all end up!

    Prayers that everything goes smoothly!

    • Manuela Williams says

      August 27, 2014 at 4:43 pm

      Thanks so much Deanna!

  19. Melanie says

    August 27, 2014 at 9:15 pm

    That was so quick, but I’m not surprised! Forty-five days isn’t much to find a new place and get packed up. I hope you find a place you love quickly and that all goes smoothly. I know this all can be stressful.

  20. Elizabeth Savage says

    August 27, 2014 at 10:11 pm

    Congratulations and good luck finding the perfect place! I understand the mixed feelings, I was the same way when we downsized 3 years ago!

    Hi! I haven’t been able to visit and enjoy my favorite blogs for some time and I see you have a lot going on! Good luck with everything and I’m sure you will be nesting and decorating, as only you can do, in no time! Yay! So excited for you!~TJ

  22. Theresa H. Roach says

    August 28, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Congrats to you dear friend! I know it will be sad to leave your sweet home and garden, but exciting to have a clean slate to start designing and decorating:) Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!

  23. Melissa says

    August 28, 2014 at 12:40 pm

    Wow, that was fast! All of your pre-planning and hard work has paid off. Congratulations.

  24. TerriC says

    August 31, 2014 at 9:44 pm

    Well that is GOOD NEWS for sure, though I’m sorry you can’t be an extra super super woman and move and pack and decorate and write and all that, too. Oh Manuela I am so glad for you both and happy to hear the house will be in good hands as well. Happy Hunting!

    • Manuela Williams says

      September 1, 2014 at 7:49 am

      LOL! I know….if only I was super woman 🙂 Today is our inspection and tomorrow is the appraisal. Wish us luck!

    Congratulations! That’s pretty quick Manuela! It took us over a year and a half! Of course, the economy was terrible, but still! So exciting!!

    You’re going to be crazy busy in these coming weeks, but it will be over before you know it :).

    • Manuela Williams says

      September 2, 2014 at 10:38 pm

      Thanks Doreen! It’s not a done deal we’ve countered their inspection result requests so we’ll find out tomorrow if they accept our counter or if we have to start over. Selling your house is not fun!
