We’ve decided to put our house up for sale! We’re currently decluttering, cleaning, rearranging furniture, and putting some stuff in storage to make the house look its best. We even redid some of the landscaping, replacing several scraggly bushes with some Texas-friendly Navajo sage and petunias for color. We hope to have it on the market within a couple of weeks. I might even put up a special page on here so YOU can see (and buy!) it. I’ve been enjoying a GREAT website called Zillow that shows you a map with estimated values for all the houses in the neighborhood along with satellite photos and home details. Pull up your house and add info if you want for others to see. You can even set a “Make Me Move” price, the amount of money someone would have to offer you to persuade you to move. I’m watching my neighborhood and our target neighborhood in Irving to see what’s out there. The whole house-selling thing will be taking up most of our free time for the next couple of weeks, so please forgive me if AndyBox.com isn’t quite as fresh as it normally is.

In other news, the NHL playoffs start this week! The Stars play the Vancouver Canucks in Round 1 starting tonight. Some friends of ours from church lived in Vancouver and are huge Canucks fans, so we’ll have to harass them if (no, WHEN!) the Stars win.

I also have to mention another very cool site, Freecycle. It has groups all over the world, and each group is a mailing list where you tell people about stuff you want to give away for free or stuff you want to get for free. For example, we just bought a new entertainment center from IKEA, so we told the Keller Freecycle group that we’re giving away our old one for free to the first person who can haul it off.
