Family Update

Now that I am on facebook, I tend to make my annoucements there and neglect my blog. I know not everyone is a "face-booker" so here's an update:

We sold our home recently. We went several weeks with plenty of showings and then one weekend got three offers with a rumor of a fourth. Even with that many offers we still didn't get quite what we had hoped but were relieved that the process would be nearing an end.

As for a new house, we are purchasing a house around the corner from us actually. It is very similar to our home, (almost the exact same floor plan upstairs) but has a full, finished, walk-out basement. The basement is really what sold us. It is spacious and light-filled, has a huge playroom among other things. The new house is 5 years older and is clean and well-kept but will need some TLC as far as the cosmetic things go. We'll have to wait a while before tackling a lot of that stuff but that is okay. We'll have more important things to worry about - like a new baby.

As far as the timeline goes for us, we close on our new house on June 1st. Then, the baby is due on June 22nd. It'll be quite a crazy period where I know I'll need tons of help since I won't be able to do a lot and won't want to risk going into labor early from over-doing it. But luckily, I have a lot of family and friends who have offered their help. We'll need it for sure.

So that is the update for our family for now. Lots of changes! We are definitley happy though to at least know now what the plan is. The time we spent wondering what was going to happen was a bit stressful...(okay a lot!)

Until next time...wish us luck on the move!
