We decided to finally put our house up for sale after many years of talking about it. We cleaned and decluttered everything we could think of until we thought it was "show ready". We finally signed papers and it was listed! Four days later we had our first showing. We got an offer immediately after the showing and our house was sold. Just like that! We couldn't stop laughing because we were in such disbelief! We listed our house with hopes we could sell it in 6 months. We closed on March 24th and moved out of our home. The first home we had bought. The home we brought Eli to from the hospital. The home where we had created so many memories of our little family of three. It was a bittersweet day but we were so excited for the future!
Before we ever listed our house we would spend the weekends going to open houses and trying to decide what we liked and didn't like. That and we had no clue WHERE we wanted to live! By the time we sold our house we knew what we were looking for in our new home. We had become pretty picky and decided the only way we would be happy was to build our new home. We met with the realtor for the builder we decided on and looked at floor plans and available lots in the neighborhood we had decided on. We picked our floor plan only to find out they had just laid the foundation for that floor plan in one of the available lots we liked! It was meant to be!
Let the fun begin!
I will be blogging the progress of our house over the next few weeks or however long it takes to complete it. We are currently 2-3 weeks from our house being completed! We're so excited we can hardly stand it! I decided to blog the progress of our house so we would have some sort of diary of it's progress. I hope it doesn't bore you too much! We have thoroughly enjoyed the building process!
