of the bag at work I can keep my peeps updated. And to do so, I will be borrowing SRR’s post…

It’s been grasping for air the past couple of weeks. So it’s time to let the cat out of the bag. I know all of the readers of SRR.com have been dying to know, “What’s the big change going on in your life?”. Well it’s time to tell you…tomorrow…maybe.
Just messing with you. Alev and I are putting our house on the market. During our vacation we talked about getting back to Austin and do whatever it takes to sell the house. Since being back we have gotten the outside of the house painted (puuurtty), running things to storage, and met with an awesome realtor. Everything has been going at a faster pace than I’m used too. You know those people that are ALWAYS busy? That’s not me. I avoid having too much too due. If I have to do anything, I don’t want it to be night after night. Anyway. We tried selling last year with not too much success. The market kind of fell apart last summer and it’s near impossible to sell a house in our neighborhood. Why? Cause we live…in the Ghettooooe. Plus I don’t think we were too serious. We listed with a friend and if it sold, it sold. If not, ehhh no biggie.
This time is different! We have priced to sell. What does that mean? It means we’re going to eat a big crap sandwich.
Whoa Rob! That’s nasty.
Yes it is. Even if we get the current asking price, we are going to be paying to get out of the house. Paying a lot of money. This is how serious we are about getting out of the house.
That’s cool, Rob. But that doesn’t seem like that huge of a change.
That is very true. There is a little more to the BIG change. Shortly after the house sells, Alev and I will be packing up and moving from Austin, Texas to Raleigh, North Carolina. Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnnnn. Even the thought of it puts my stomach in knots. It’s something we really want to do but it’s kind of scary. Ack seriously I have that nervous pukey feeling right now.
Moving to Raleigh has been something we have been talking about for 4-5 years. In the past we would talk about it, then tell everyone we’re moving to Raleigh. We would always end up doing nothing to work towards doing it. This time around, we wanted to keep things on the DL and get the ball rolling. The ball be a rolling now. Rolling really effin fast too. We broke the news to our friends on Friday and I thought I would share on SRR.com. How tacky would it have been for friends to find out on a website. Kind of messed up. So that is our big change. Maybe not big to everyone but for us, it’s going to be HUGE.
I got some more stuff about this I want to write about. It will have to wait till later. I’m supposed to be working.
Peace out!
