Sleepovers and Prospective Buyers

Today Grayson is having his first sleepover. Some friends had asked us to a surprise birthday dinner but we had a lack of childcare options so we had to decline. Oddly enough, the friends who invited us needed childcare (I think their previous arrangement fell through). So we agreed to it.

Grayson had a hard time dealing with all the sharing and having another kid that got to choose TV programs and activities. His sisters don't live here full-time and they are so much older than he is, they typically just give him what he wants. It was good for him, in my opinion.

On the selling of the home... We aren't officially on the market right now. We have a sign in the yard indicating "Media Room" and "Coming Soon". I was walking with Grayson and his friend and happened to strike up a conversation with a couple coming out of the Builder's Model Home. I saw a California license plate and wanted to find where he was moving from. Turns out it was a rental and they were moving from New Jersey.

During our conversation I mentioned that we were getting ready to put the house on the market because we were relocating to California. He promptly asked if he and his wife could take a look at it. I called Kim and asked if she was OK with it. She said she was so we all went to the house.

They got a personal tour of the place. They indicated they like it quite a bit. He said he was going to have his Realtor contact our Realtor. They loved the size of rooms and the media room. He said he would not need to come back and see this house if they found it to be what they were seeking. They asked how quickly we planned to move. We said as soon as the house was sold we were gone. He said that they were set to sell their home in New Jersey on June 7th. WOW! If he is serious we could be gone before the end of June!

YIKES!

But it may all be for nothing at this point. He was only expressing interest.... We shall see.
