Thanks to my fabulous REALTOR/HUSBAND, we were able to sell our house quickly!
We had our house on the market for one week and got a full price offer. We were SHOCKED, and felt so GRATEFUL at the same time. (No more keeping my house sparkling clean with three little kiddos running around! Whew!)
It's so BITTERSWEET...we are ready for a bigger house (5 people using one bathroom is getting a little squishy, my other bathroom is full of food storage. ) :) But we will miss our first home. Cody and I started here just the two of us 8 years ago, and we are walking away with three little ones.
We will miss our neighborhood, neighbors, and ward family!
I will miss my cute red door that we painted 2 yrs. ago. I always wanted a red door, but I think a new color might be in store at my new house.
I will miss my dance room that my husband and step dad built for me. 6 yrs. of teaching will be over for now, and I will miss all the girls!!
I will miss our cute little garden...(not that you couldn't build a new one), but it was just so small and cute and perfect for our little family.
I will miss my kitchen only because we re-did it ourselves, and I think the things you work the hardest on, you will miss the most! (The before is below.) BTW don't ever have tile that color, it shows EVERYTHING!! This kitchen would look much cuter with wood floors....maybe next house.)
I wish I had a better pic of this huge tree in my backyard! This was a treat for my kids since most of the houses around here did not have big trees. Crew asked for a rope one yr. for Christmas, and Cody and I couldn't for the life of us figure out why he wanted it. We weren't going to get him a rope for Christmas! But on Christmas Eve we were at Walgreens, and Cody saw a rope, and said, "What the heck, let's just put it in his stocking," so we did, and Christmas morning he told us it was for his rope swing outside on the tree. Kids have the best ideas! So we hung it from the tree, and that began the love affair between child and tree. All the neighborhood kids would come over and climb that tree, swing on that tree, and it houses about 9 bird nests. (Hold for one moment as I am wiping tears. sniff, sniff.) Ok, so it is definitely bittersweet for us to move, but we are excited for our new adventure!
No, we don't have a house yet, but we are looking like crazy, and I know we will walk into one and say, "This is it, this is home!!"
So here we go, wish us LUCK!!
