It’s been a long time since I wrote last, I know. Did you notice?!
I didn’t mean to stay away so long but I was really waiting out potential buyers for the house and potential buyers for the last two alpacas all at the same time! I was hoping to be able to post with great news quite a while ago but as things go, I had to just keep waiting and waiting and waiting for things to fall into place and be finalized before I mentioned it. I didn’t want to broadcast it across the internet before I knew for sure that things were going to go through. Once they did, time just flew by.
The same day that I got a call from the gal that bought the two alpacas & the horse saying she wanted them, we got an offer from another couple on the house! What a crazy day THAT was! And…it’s been crazy ever since!
Things have been moving forward steadily & quickly. The alpacas and horse have been delivered to their new home and are settling in there nicely & have sold the farm! Since the farm was never listed for sale, yes, you read that right…in THIS economy, we have sold our farm without ever putting it on the market with a Realtor! We just happened to go to an alpaca show at the end of March just to see a couple of alpacas that we sold and see them show. We were introduced to a couple that also have alpacas but were boarding them. They were in the process of looking for their own farm. The rest is history. We’ve now rented an apartment in the town where I work and are settling in somewhat.
I know I whined and complained that things were moving too slow for me at times throughout this process but the last few weeks have flown by and pieces fell perfectly and painlessly into place. Now, we’ve moved to an apartment and are waiting for an opportunity for Jon to work in Florida so we can move down there! Pretty scary but exciting too. I have a feeling it won’t be long before we’re on the move again.
So many things have fallen into place so seamlessly in this process that we can’t help but believe it’s the right thing to do. We made the decision to move to Florida and started this process way back on July 3rd, 2009 and here we are.
