Here Comes The Dirt

so the guy we met with last summer about fixing our pool never called back and we have made the tough decision to fill in the pool. it's still gonna cost us a chunk of change, but we've decided it's for the best. so, now we have to find a qualified, reputable dirt contractor. once the pool is filled in, we'll plant grass and get the rest of the backyard cleaned up.

in the meantime, we're meeting with our real estate agent to discuss what we need to do in the next year to get our house ready to go on the market. as we spend so much time out by where we both work, it just makes sense to live in that area. we need to find out what we need to do, fix, update at the house before putting it up for sale, so jo ann is going to come over in a couple of weeks and do an evaluation.

i like our house, i really do. it's in a nice neighborhood that is quiet with good neighbors (not that we really talk to them). but, i think we'll be happier with less of a commute and being close to all the things we like to do. i just hope that we don't have to do a ton of repairs and whatnot to the house, and i really hope we find a house we like. which is gonna be tough as we're super picky. and oh yay, it's gotta have a pool. natch!
