Although I haven't been feeling the best, last night we went out and celebrated the sale of our first home--officially. Whew and Par-tay! Selling a home is stressful even when it goes relatively smooth, but when things go wrong--you might just feel like the world is against you. We have learned that anything can go […]
Yesterday marks 5 weeks since we officially moved from our Utah home and thought we closed on it. Some of the details around the demise of that sale we don't feel are appropriate to share here, but we knew it was time to move on and try to sell the house again. We had a […]
Long story short: Yesterday was not a good day, but we are going to be okay. Long story long: If I were to write this post a few hours earlier, it might have sounded very different. Very angry. Our buyers (who I have since purged the blog of) had another excuse why their money wasn't in […]
As you may have heard, read or gathered--we have had some bumps in our road--mainly we have yet to receive the money for the sale of our house and it all comes down to today. If we don't receive the money today, then we will lose our new house. And if we do, we can […]
Before we focus all of our efforts, and posts really, on the new house that still isn't 100% ours (the whole thing is quite ridiculous--hopefully we'll all have a good laugh about it next week #nervouslaughter), there is one last crowning, whirlwind event that took place at our last house to cover. A photoshoot of […]
All right, so Jules is completely exhausted and asked me to give y'all an update on the sitch over here (that means "situation"). Things were just going a little too smoothly, which I think everyone agrees with. We were supposed to close on our house in Utah last Monday - like, almost two weeks ago. The […]
Update: We chose to keep this post up since it was all part of the learning process, but given the outcome (update 1, update 2), if we could do it all over again, we would get an attorney. Get an attorney, people! Or "Saving the Big Buck$!" The plan was always to try to sell […]
Considering a month ago we were completely unaware of Chris's new job and content with staying in our home indefinitely, this fast move to Idaho has not only thrown us for a loop, but also all of our friends and neighbors. So last weekend, the night after we got home from house hunting, we threw […]
Today we are headed back home to pack, clean, finish up and share a few projects with you from our current home. And then say goodbye to it. That will be hard. When we first made the decision to move, even if I knew it was the right decision, it was difficult to hold back […]
Oh dear. This is hard. To catch up any of you that didn't follow along on Instagram (@chrislovesjulia), the house hunt on Monday was intense. I saw everything from a two-story on 6 acres, to a 1960s time capsule in the center of town--twelve houses total. Every one was so different and out of all […]
Today is Chris's first day at his new job in Idaho and we never expected I'd be here with him. We thought for sure Greta and I would still be in Utah prepping our house for listing later this month. But with the surprisingly quick sale, we accompanied Chris to search for a new house […]
I remember playing a board game called Cashflow way back in my early college days with my, then, boyfriend and all of his friends. It is basically an educational game that simulates real life financial strategies and situations, like investing. Monopoly on steroids if you will. So, we were all very, very cool. Anyway, one aspect […]
