Too excited to keep quiet

Ok - so you all know the story. 12 years in New York was more than enough for me. I was so frustrated and tired with my life there I quit my job to finish grad school full-time for a semester, needing 21 more credits, so I could finally move on with my life. After graduation (I'm still in disbelief I actually made it) I put my apartment on the market in June 2006. With no bites, 5 months later I tried to sublet my apartment. Found someone right away - paid all the fees I had to to my co-op, signed the contracts, etc. when 2 weeks into the contract the renter wanted to pull out. His old landlord was going to let him stay. Three months of "legal" proceedings, I finally recouped my costs and some "damages". March 2007, I list my apartment with a different broker. Had my apartment freshly painted. July 2007 I renovated the kitchen and had the floors refinished.

When I relisted my apartment this year, I had bought a St. Joseph to bury - only, the ground was too hard to bury it in, so I left it on my kitchen shelf. When the kitchen was renovated, my mother buried the St. Joseph for me. In order for it to work, you have to pray to St. Joseph (so Beth tells me). So last night, I did. I finally prayed to St. Joseph. And guess what - I GOT AN OFFER TODAY!!!! We settled on the price I wanted!!! I'm nervous about all this, so many things could go wrong or fall through between now and closing, but The Secret is telling me to be thinking positively. I've been doing that too! Believing that it's already been sold! So while it's nowhere near being a done deal yet - such a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I won't feel "stuck" anymore.

It's bizarre in a way - this is the very last tie I have to NY. NY is where I left my childhood and became a grown woman. And now that chapter is closing in my life - what's next? I'm really not sure - but i'm very excited about finding out!!
