Chit Chat

Hi- missed you guys!

Been on vacation a week and a half and it feels like months in knottie-land! So the realtor listed our home 3 days before we left because it would be easier to schedule showings while we weren't around. We were 100% NOT expecting to touch down in London and have emails and voicemails with an offer!! Two bedrooms are a tough sell and our school district is a tough sell so we had braced for 3-6 months on market. So that is crazy exciting, and we will move into my in-laws vacant apartment they own until we find a house we love (absolutely nothing out there that we want right now). 

So England was amazing. The countryside, and Bath SOO beautiful! Met up with a friend for pizza, did all the usual stuff like Tower of London, London Eye, Big Ben, etc. 

Iceland was crazy. Our hotel lost the reservation but luckily had ONE free room to give us. They had the worst rain/ wind storm since 2006 which pushed back some of our tours and we never got to go on the super Jeep tour or see northern lights. But it was still awesome, we saw waterfalls, and geysers, and the Blue Lagoon. H lost his god damn wedding ring in the Blue Lagoon. But if you remember, my H is terrified of international travel after I made him go to Asia. Well he was smitten with both countries and is already talking about going back, and traveling more. So yaaaaaaay!! English language and hot dogs/ fish n chips for the win ;)
Hope all has been well with all of you!

    It sounds like you had an amazing trip (aside from your H losing his wedding ring...oops)!! Congrats on selling your house too!



  • I am glad that you are back. Iceland (really, the Blue Lagoon spa) has been on my immediate bucket list for awhile. I am sad that you didn't see the Northern Lights but that just means another trip there.
  • Woo, glad it's mostly good news! Sorry about the weather and the ring, but it still sounds like an awesome trip! 

    Our house sold like ice water in hell too! Multiple offers, all over asking price. It sold in 47 hours.

  • @lolo883 congrats on your house! That's amazing! Ours was a little under asking price but well within our target range and the buyer is an older veteran so I like that!

    This baby knows exactly how I feel
  • Beautiful photos!  The Blue Lagoon was my favorite....I could stay in there for hours.  We did the Northern Lights tour and saw nothing.  Aren't you in MA?  I heard there's a chance we could see the Lights tonight in NJ, so I'm sure it's the same there. Wouldn't that be funny!  Though the light pollution will probably zap all chances.

    Oh, and congrats on your house!  That's an awesome, nice suprise to come home to!
  • Welcome back. I'm terribly jealous of the Iceland trip. Dream. Someday.
