I got an offer on Tom's house Saturday. It was very low so I countered with reality. Today we agreed on a price. The contract is on it's way to the buyer for signature. I won't breathe true relief until I am signing the paperwork at closing. But this is a very good thing. It is time for closure on that chapter. I dread every time I go there. There is nothing left of Tom there after the flood but the memories are still strong. Every month I pay the mortgage and the bills and I am reminded all over.

Alisa. 36. New Hampshire. Married for one year to this wonderful, funny, smart guy. Previously married. Went through in-vitro fertilization to have my four and a half year old magical son Keegan. Stepmother to the charming Isabelle (5). Just had our first child together, a boy, Harper(born June 10). Policy Wonk and dreaded bureaucrat. Lover of fine cuisine, honeybees, truly romantic moments and the underdog.
