To everything, there is a season
It was a day full of good news.
First, for all those who were worried, Andrew and I officially do not have syphilis. Thank you, DC, for requiring the blood tests before issuing us a marriage license. Because, you know, I was worried.
And, for the rest of you who thought the housing market in DC was a bit sluggish: I am proud to report that after 25 days on the market, Andrew's condo is under contract! Not only under contract, but above asking price!! Under contract in 25 days, while two other apartments in his building are still actively looking for buyers, even after at least 2-3 months of being on the market. How's that for a job well-done?
Not on our part, mind you. All we did was listen to our realtors, who obviously knew what they were talking about when they asked Andrew to re-paint, re-tile the kitchen floor, put in new carpet, and de-clutter his apartment to the point where it looked like hardly any living was done in that apartment. Three cheers to Elly and Kira for being terrific realtors. Of course, they, like every realtor, are out for the sale, but throughout this entire process, they've treated us like we're they're only clients. They worked on Christmas and New Year's day for us to get the job done. We raise a glass to them!
But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Closing is on Wednesday January 31st, and a lot can happen between now and then (not to mention our wedding and the fact that we won't be here for a week afterwards). So, let's not party and celebrate just yet. Let's just say that it should all happen in good time.

Congratulations! That's excellent news, and I hope that the sale makes a new acquisition easy and painless.
Congratulations and good luck!
