Just Perfect

It’s amazing the way things work out sometimes.  I was hoping to lose a little more weight and sell the house while on vacation (although not believing either was possible ), and so far so good.

First off, our house is officially under contract as of about 12:30 this afternoon.  The offer (full price, I might add) came in yesterday a few hours before I left New Jersey.  I’m still a little in shock.  For some reason I had started to worry that the house would never sell.  I must say, our realtor has been doing MUCH better in the advertising department with the house and I always knew it would just take that one person who belonged with the house to see it.  But still, somewhere in the back of my mind, the doubt persisted.  I think it was just a fear that we were running out of time.  Pete’s official last day of work here was going to be September 29th, and we weren’t really sure what we were going to do from there.  It was like, “okay, the house gets sold this week, or we do something drastic.”

…and it got sold this week…  sweet!

And to top that off, although it’s not weigh-in day, I weighed in today at almost a pound less than when I left!  Don’t ask me how that is even possible.  I missed my Jersey food, so I partook quite a bit.   Between Banzai (Japanese hibachi steak house in Denville) and M&S (the best pizza I’ve ever had) and Anthony’s (the second best pizza ever, but the absolute best chef salad) and Friendly’s sundaes (self explanatory, I think), I really felt I should have put on all the weight I lost, but whoo and hooo! 

What a relief, today is a good day. Better than good really – it’s just perfect.
