SOLD!

(Read to the tune of John Michael Montgomery's hit :-)

To our family as our second home,

It's an 8, it's a 9, it's a 10 we know.

It's got an elementary school and playground (across the street)

and parks and trails nearby,

We're about to bid our 1st house good-bye!

So, after searching for 6 LONG days and looking at 30 + homes (I lost track of how many after 25...), we finally found our dream home! We had it narrowed down to two last weekend, one being older but closer to Brett's work and the other being newer with a lot of the "extras" from our wish list (e.g., three-car garage for the Mr. and community pool for the Mrs.) but a little further away than we had hoped for. After weighing the pros and cons of each (and really finding out that Brett and I had different tastes when it comes to homes, who knew!), we decided on this beautiful piece of work. We are SO excited because it offers many of the things we were looking for in a new home. And we totally see our family in this house for years to come!

So, now it's time to pack up and leave our starter home. I have mixed emotions, and I will move out kicking and screaming I assure you. But I will hold onto the many memories we have there as we plan for many more in our new place.

Because of all the house stuff that has kept us preoccupied of late, I have fallen behind on updating about our little guy. Well, he's not little anymore...and he's WALKING now! And into all sorts of things. And learning all sorts of things. An update is coming soon, as long as the computer doesn't get packed up first :-)
