NOT Sold

Hmmm you just never know when life might deal you a really crappy hand. Our buyer backed out of our purchase agreement just 2 days before we were scheduled to close in Andover. She had the legal right as we did not deliver a passing water test by our inspection deadline but even so why wait until 2 days before, AGHHH! Hopefully we also have the legal right to get something out of the well company for installing a defective well two years ago. MORK WELL CO, you suck! Major bummer as we are now trying to sell an unfurnished house and are also attempting to buy this little shanty. If we succeed we will have 2 mortgages which is exactly 2 more than I had 8 months ago and way more than any one sane couple should deal with. Wish us luck!

In more positive news the tourist season is in full swing and there are alot of people to be looked at. Check out this mother daughter European afro head duo . Now that is crazy, wow they must not own a comb between them and the bald dad.

I did FINALLY get my teaching assignment and class schedule for this fall. I lucked out and only have class 4 hours a week plus I teach Algebra 3 hours a week. Not too shabby. You got to wonder though, who takes algebra in college? I am guessing not people who like math so I may be in for a challenging semester.

Hey! Selling a house feels a little like winning the lottery. Yes we are happy to move on and move out.

We took a week and spent 3 days packing, 2 days driving and 2 days visiting family, friends and the lake. It was hectic and crazy but now it is done and we are home. 30 hours in a rental truck with a bearded man and hairy dog were about enough to drive anyone crazy but we made it and have happy pictures to prove it.

In just 10 days we close on a house here in Bangor so we get to move again. The moving won't be fun but living in a house that is truly home to both of us is going to be awesome.

In other exciting news Woof is now a Maine resident and has been such a good dog. I will ignore the first rest stop in which he sat in a puddle and last night when I busted him ripping open the garbage. A dog is a dog, a boy is a boy. You can't change em, you just gotta love em!
