<p>Now…we just need full-price-offer-wishes ;)</p>

<p>And of course we get to do that “keep the house immaculate every day” thing :eek:</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Where are you moving?</p>

3

<p>back to WA state (yay!)</p>

4

<p>Which part?</p>

5

<p>Spokane. Actually, H has been there since early November, but I stayed here in Idaho w/ the kids so DrDrew could finish his sr year. Luckily for us, homes in eastern WA are MUCH cheaper than western WA. We’ve lived in both areas. I rather prefer western WA (don’t mind rain at all…and love the green that comes with it), but this will be OK too, as we both grew up there. Well, maybe that might not be so good ;)</p>

<p>I guess another bonus is that our house has gone up in value over 100k since we bought it (new) in 2000. Our agent was telling us that people come here from CA and think it’s a total steal.</p>

<p>It looks like you will be very busy. Maybe, the move will keep your mind off college admissions. :)</p>

<p>Hey, that’s great! I know you have always wanted to go back to WA. And you may even make some money to boot. Good luck with everything!

<p>Here’s my keeping-it-clean tip:
Get a stack of those plastic “milk crates”. When you have to declutter, use one for each room that needs tidying. Then stack them all in a closet. They take up very little floor space, and you’ll be able to easily find and replace the things that you’ve moved.</p>

<p>Thanks for the wishes!!</p>

<p>Yeah, the clutter/mail/school papers just kills ya. Good idea about stashing stuff in the closet. I cleaned out our walk-in closet that’s in our master bedroom and guess what; now you can ACTUALLY walk in to it ;)</p>

<p>DrDrewsmom - lol - we’re going throught the same process of getting our house ready to put on the market and our walk-in closet is the same. I think the key is to get as much stuff out of the house as possible (we’re packing up things that we’ll need to pack anyway and getting one of those storage units). Now if I can only figure out where to store the animals… :)</p>
