My parents recently celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary. When asked the secret to their marriage's longevity, my mother replied, "Low expectations!" My partner has taken that comment to heart [we celebrate 25 years in August].
So, to set your expectations appropriately, I have a busy June ahead of me:
- I close on my house Friday.
- I'll then be hiring painters, floor finishers, reglazers, countertop folks, plumbers, and locksmiths to touch the place up before we move in.
- Until we move in, I'll be acting as de facto general contractor, managing all those folks I listed above.
- I go to Savannah, GA for a family reunion.
- I study for and [hopefully] pass the PMI PMP test.
- Occasionally I'll go to work.
- And then we move to the new house!
So forgive me if I don't update as frequently as I have in the past. Rest assured, I've collected and processed sales data and, when the storm passes, will post it here.
Wish me luck!

Yes, I've purchased a home in NW DC. I'll describe the transaction once I've closed; right now, I'm keeping an eye on some drama between the mortgage and title companies.
That's a busy couple months - Congrats and good luck with the closing, the 25 years, the reunion, and the PMP!
Congrats to your parents!
congrats. :-)
