Memories

Kev just sent these pictures to me. I don’t know where he found the old ones. The new ones were taken from our MLS listing. It brought back memories of how awful our house (especially the backyard) was when we moved in 1 ½ years ago. Kev put the grass seed in himself. But I did my share by helping to remove all of those rocks!


Before

Before

After

If you can believe it, even with a backyard that looked like that, we bought our house for the full asking price after it had only been on the market two days. Two days was considered a LOOOOONG time for a house to sit on the market back then. Now our house has been on the market for five days and we've only had one showing that we know of. Things have definitely changed!

Last night I told Kevin: "I feel like I've worked really hard for the past two months on a Broadway show and then, on opening night, no one bothered to come!"

So, why are you moving?? :)

Too bad you can't post "before" and "after" pics when you sell. It'd be enough to prove to people why they're getting such a deal!

Kevin, that house was just some random mansion by the beach which does not belong to anyone related to me (at this time). ;-)

Ahhh those pictures give me hope that maybe one day we, too, will be able to get our yard under control. =D

Fret not! The right people will come at EXACTLY the right time. And no doubt they'll appreciate all the work you've done. You have a LOVELY house!

Well, I understand what you are going through. Unfortunately, the houses we are looking at to buy are selling before we have a chance to make an offer. God is in control!

Great landscaping work! We'll be praying for y'all in this moving and resettling phase. Peace and joy...
