It's catch-up day today, so you'll finally get some more fun stuff to read about! There's a lot of progress being made on the actual building of the home now, but more on that in the next post!

Jason and I put his condo up for sale this past week, which is something we've been hesitating to do, because a 6 month possession date for whoever buys the condo is a long time. Our possession date is January 25th, so we figured if we did a 60 day negotiable possession date, that would be much more reasonable!



We had our very first showing this past Friday, the 26th, and were very excited about it! I spent most of Thursday night doing some cleaning to make things as shiny as possible, and then Friday afternoon, while Jason and I were out, the potential buyers came in, looked around, and we'll find out how things went early this week!

We also decided to go with a company called RealTour Assist, as they offer discounted rates, and have done well in this particular area of Calgary. The couple who is selling our home, Allan and Melissa Logue, are truly wonderful. They're friendly, honest, and are doing everything they can to make this a sure sell. Allan came by early in the week, last week, and gave us some pointers on how to make things look more open, and after doing what he suggested, some of the rooms appear to be HUGE! It's really great to get some stuff moved out now too, instead of doing it all when we actually make the permanent move.

My parent's basement is getting pretty full though! Between shower gifts for the wedding, and all the stuff from Jason's condo, my mom's starting to wonder where else she can store stuff! It's great to have a place to pack things away for a while though. My parents live in the NW, which is the end of town we'll be moving to, from the SE, where Jason's condo is. We figured if we could get our belongings as close to our new home as possible, it would save us a lot of hassle when the big move comes around. Thanks so much Mom and Dad. We really appreciate all your help!
