We’re on the Move!

By Sabrina @pinklilnotebook · On August 7, 2014

Hey, Hey! I know I’ve been MIA but today I’m checking in with a little update.

As you know, we sold our house and move day was a total success!

Bad news, we’re officially “HOME”less (and no, not the live on the streets type-of-homeless).

Our 30 day closing left us with little time to find a new place. Luckily our family has graciously taken us in for our transition period.

The search for a new home still continues.  We’ve been looking for minor fixer uppers. We’ve come across some awesome properties with lots of potential, however, we seem to find ourselves head-to-head in bidding wars with contractors!?  Entering the real estate market for the third time, this is definitely our toughest find yet.

The search remains strong and I’m constantly reminding my inner control freak to enjoy this unfamiliar path of the “unknown”.  It’s sad to say but I’m usually that person who has their next move planned out, equipped with a Plan B and all.

With no new home in sight, I’m really teaching myself to trust the process and go with the flow.  In the end, it always works out!

Enjoy the journey. That’s what it’s all about.

    Oh boy – can I ever relate to learning to trust the process! Life does have a way of working out, and often it’s way better than you ever envisioned – so here’s to life working out beyond ‘better’ and to trusting the process! I can’t wait to see what happens next – good for you!!!

    I’ve had to move a couple times without the next place being ready. I moved from Hawaii to CA and at the airport baggage claim was still calling around trying to figure out where to have the taxi take me to stay even that night. It can be stressful, but as long as you’re enjoying the process, you’ll wind up someplace perfect.

    Moving is one of the most tragic experiences that we inflict on ourselves lol I think only childbirth ranks higher. Congrats on selling your house. Especially with how the economy is for most people.

    Good luck on finding a new abode. Thank God for friends and family 🙂

    This is one of my fears about selling our house. It’s so hard to time it but good luck finding the perfect place!

    Hi Sabrina, I know you wrote this a while ago, so I hope your process is going well. It has definitely been a challenge for me. I still haven’t found the right home. I can say that I could probably tell you what every home in this area sold for. Ha! Like I say every week, maybe this week.
