And SOLD!

Yes, that is right, we sold our house!  Ever since finding out we were expecting baby number 3 we decided we wanted to get a house with 4 bedrooms and a basement to accommodate our growing family and all the stuff babies come with. 

We spent a few weeks looking at houses and finally found a great one that we love and will be perfect with for our little family.  Our offer was contingent on selling our current home within one week.  It was a little nerve wracking but the market here is so hot that my FIL, who happens to be our realtor, was certain it wouldn't take long to sell at all. 

Our house went on the market late Thursday evening with showings starting Saturday and by Friday evening we already had a full price offer!  We had a couple showings scheduled for Saturday and by Saturday night we were under contract with an offer that was $2,000 above our asking price!  What a relief that it sold so fast and we got more than we were hoping to get!  I am so relieved that I wont have to worry about keeping the house clean 24/7 with 2 kids and worry about leaving on a moments notice for showings.  God is good! 

We close the end of April.

Moving is always bitter sweet for me.  I am always so excited to make our knew house a home but always sad to leave our current home where we have made so many memories. 

It will be hard to leave this house remembering all the sweet memories that were made with our kids.  I remember exactly where I was when I found out I was pregnant with each baby, I remember where Joshua first stood up by himself and walked, I remember where it was in the house that Kayla first smiled, and where she first pulled herself up.  We have shared many laughs with friends and family here in this home.

Yes, moving is hard but it is also exciting to know that we will build new memories in the new home. 

Now, on to the packing...
