Moving On

I haven't really posted anything on the blog about our living arrangements the last few months. In January we decided it was time to sell our home in Mableton. To our shock (and I will say, with two kids my extreme relief) our house sold in 5 weeks.

The new owners were very nice and gave us a 7 week closing. You would think that would be plenty of time to find a house. Not so much. Just 2 weeks before our closing we gave up and went apartment hunting. We packed up all of our stuff, sent it to a POD and 2 storage units, and the rest went to the apartment.

On April 16th we said goodbye to our first house. I am not going to lie there were tears. So many wonderful memories were made in that house. It was a good 7 1/2 years.


One beautiful Saturday morning in May a house came on the market. Brian was taking Jake downtown and I was going to see a house with Julianna. I walked in and that was pretty much it. By 11 o'clock that night it was under contract! Soon to be ours!

July 3rd we spent our first night in our new house. Surrounded by boxes but with 2 beds and a crib fully assembled. It was glorious! Of course, 6 days later we left for the beach. What a feeling sitting on the beach knowing after my fun in the sun I was going home.
