Bigger steps

For the last several months I have been working on moving into town. We've lived out here in the country for over 10 years now. I'm tired of the wind, sand, snakes, cows, flies, travel distance and HOA. The snow storm a couple of weeks ago was pretty much the last straw.
I have sold all the poultry except for the ones the coyote got. The llamas have gone to a new home. Magie is taking Sophie and Comet for her girls. Sara is determined to turn Sophie into a rodeo horse for barrel racing. Gypsy will be sold.
I have a new home for two of the cats which will leave us with Sheba and Tigger. Finding a new home for Maks which will leave us with Mischka and Jack for canine companions. Plus Dirty Mike the hamster and Andy's fish tank.
Today we put earnest money down on a house in town. It is three bedroom, two bath with one car attached garage. It will need the carpet ripped up in the bedrooms and wood floors put down. A window replaced in the kitchen. The cabinets are very nice in the kitchen and both bathrooms are in good shape.
I'm thinking the weekend before we officially move we will have a garage sale at the new house to sell the stuff we don't need or have room for. I had taken some things to the auction and didn't do well at all.
So we will see if we get this house or if we keep looking.
