I worked all night again! Because we had some folks from our ward who wanted to come look at the house AND we needed to get the doggone house on the market. I'd found out from Wendy (Middleton) that the Peterson's in our ward have been house hunting. From the moment Wendy told me that she'd talk to Kimberlee about our house I had a very peaceful, this feels right, feeling!
So I stayed up working, working, working to finish the little detail work, like caulking between the upper cupboards and ceiling, touch up painting on dings and nicks, touching up where the wall paint had gotten on the ceilings. De-junking the man cave, boxing more things up to store in the back garage, staging the rooms, etc. I was EXHAUSTED by the time I had to put my pajamas on for the Primary Meet Your Teacher Pajama Pancake Breakfast which started at 9 a.m. I dropped Bear off at the Gum's on the way down to the church as he's such a pest that I didn't want him here to barrel over the Peterson's knocking them around with his weapon of a tail! He has a good heart, but doesn't know how dangerous he is!
Had a good time at the Primary activity and was able to leave a few minutes early to run back to the house so I could get the empty boxes out of the house and into the front garage and got the filled boxes and miscellaneous items out of the house and into the back garage, did a little clean up, put the staging towels out in the bathroom, got the bed straightened and pillows arranged, etc! I was just changing out of my pajamas and into my clothes when the Peterson's arrived.
Kimberlee told me that earlier in the year when the apple trees were blooming she'd pick up her kids after school and then take a detour down Zier Road in order to drive by the apple trees in bloom. She said that she wanted to live on Zier, but there were never any homes for sale! After she found out about our house last Sunday they drove by and she liked the outside. She likes the front porch and wants to put a porch swing up!
We started the 'tour' in the living room and Blake started measuring and Kimberlee took pictures. They liked the idea of a fireplace that utilized wood as opposed to gas. They measured each of the rooms! lol When we went in the man cave next Kimberlee oooed and awed over it. They have 4 daughters and a son and she mentioned that her son had received his first guitar for Christmas. Kimberlee said she was going to send the man cave picture to her son and she was sure he'd ask if Darvin's guitars came with the house! lol
Next we went in the upstairs bathroom which they seemed to like. Our bathrooms are nice and roomy and I pointed out the inset tile shelves in the shower. I LOVE that feature! lol Next we headed to what we use as the master bedroom upstairs, it's good size but Peterson's have a king size bed, so Blake was concerned about whether or not there would be room as he was measuring away. I wasn't too concerned as I had the downstairs 'master suite' trump card! lol
We went to the massage room in the basement and then the bathroom downstairs and while Blake was looking at things in there I showed Kimberly the master suite which she loved too. Gave them the rest of the grand tour, everything was a big hit for them. They liked the sliding closet doors, the pocket doors in the living room and pantry. Kimberlee loved the walls colors that matched her color schemes. They liked the variegated carpet, the updates in the kitchen, etc. Apparently it's the perfect house for them!
I still have a really good feeling about this!
