Uprooted

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

So we finally sold our house! We closed on February 10 and have been living at my parents' house ever since. It is such a relief to not worry about mopping, dusting, picking up every tiny thing every day. It was a whirlwind of a move. We found out on Monday that we had to be out by Thursday, and we got it all put in a storage building, just the two of us. Josh and I are a pretty awesome team. :) we had quite a few repairs to make and we got it all done. But I will say that I have been feeling a little uprooted lately. It's hard to be in a place where nothing is yours and I know my mom doesn't care and is so happy to have us here, but I constantly worry about making sure we aren't in the way. We are very excited to move into our new house, which we just got cleared to close yesterday! Yeah! So we close march 9th-ish and will have a few things to fix before we can move in but it will be fun. The house is an older house and it's kind of like a blank slate for us to get to work with. I'm talking kitchen remodel, bathroom remodels, new floors, paint, all sorts of fun projects. If only our bank account could keep up! The girls are so excited about the new house. We started to get cold feet about the house so we went and looked at a second house that had been updated and didn't need repairs and the minute Ella walked in, she told us she didn't like the house. We didn't care for it much either. It was a great house, but it just didn't feel like it could be home. So our awesome realtor (Aunt Denise) took us back to the first house and we all knew it was the one for us, even ella. So here we are. I am so excited about our new adventure with my three favorite people. Life is pretty sweet.

I am so happy for you guys and your new house. I have been remodeling my house for a year now, and it doesn't go as quickly as the shows on HGTV - just a warning ;). But! I have learned quite a bit about home repairs, and I can paint like a pro (kind of), so don't hesitate to call me!
