On the Move!

Yes, we're moving! You might say that we've been slow in getting the word out, but things have been a bit busy and as crazy as this sounds, we didn't know definitively until this week that things were a done deal. Between our sellers, our buyers, and the bank it's been a bit of a bumpy road but it all came together at the end of last week. Now we just have to make it through moving and closing all in one day! (Another frustrating point but we aren't exactly in control of the situation, and I'm sure you can imagine then how someone like me is dealing with all this craziness. If you can't imagine it, just picture lots of spreadsheets, boxes, freaking out, and my phone number displayed at the bank on the "do not answer" list). But all of that is done and now we just have unpacking, painting, and lots of fun projects to look forward to! (And if you think I really mean fun, then you aren't catching my sarcasm). The new house offers a lot more space and places that we can walk to, but we are definitely going to miss our bungalow and all of the great friends and neighbors we have nearby. We moved into our first house in July of 2002, experienced our first alley part and got our first dog, and soon after got married and had a great time celebrating Thursdays, Football, Halloweens, New Years, Summers, and Snow Days with neighbors that have become some of our closest friends. We brought Joseph, Hannah, and Leah home from the hospital to this house and watched them learn how to walk in these rooms and turn into little kids running around in the alley and playing with pals. It's so hard to leave all this because of the memories and people, but we hope that over time we will feel the same way about the new house and that there are more fun times to come. We move on Wednesday and we'll be camping out in our house Tuesday night with a few pac n plays, a buzz lightyear sleeping bag, and an air mattress. Joseph is pretty excited. Wish us luck!
