I guess we're getting the boot. The landlords came this morning and put a for sale sign up in the yard. Okay, that's really not how it played out. We planned on moving back to Idaho in early October so that Ryan could start his business, and we gave the landlords the heads up about it two days ago. Talking it over, they decided they would rather sell than have more renters (I don't blame them. It's crazy to have to worry about 2 houses) so they put out the sign. (They were nice enough to ask first.) Now, of course I'm freaking out because I'll have to keep the house clean for potential buyers. Isn't that a perk of renting...you don't have the hassle of keeping everything in tip-top shape? Sigh. I'll do it though because I really like our landlords. They are a great family.So there is the scoop. Moving back to Idaho. I'm excited about that. A little nervous about a new business and horrified of the upcoming move. I'd done that too many times already. So, I'm off to scrub toilets, wash walls, and to find a home for clutter that hasn't had a home in the almost 2 years that we've been here. Oh, and I have to take care of 4 rowdy kids in the process. How do people do it??? Wish me luck.
PS-doesn't the lawn look nice? I mowed it yesterday in preparation for the sign. I'm such a good little renter!

What happens if the house gets sold before October? I guess it takes awhile for things to go through...
Well, we're excited you will be closer!! Sorry about the cleaning and crap. That's a pain. Wish we were closer so we could help.
WHAT?? ohhh.... I am super happy for you guys! A little sad too. We will miss your family!!!!! (Ok, I am a little jealous, too.) :)
I would have loved to have good little renters like you! Our renters were pretty good but I still had to paint every door, baseboard, chair rail and almost every wall in the house because they were so dinged up and dirty. I know that happens to everyone but really!
I'm sure your family is so excited for you to be closer. You are good renters, me personally would not do all of that stuff.
Oh, I'm excited for you to be closer to family! And a little jealous. Good luck preparing for a move in the next few months!
