Our original plan was that we would look this off season to see if any houses caught our eye and move next off season once things calmed down a little bit. But for those of you who know us we usually don't stick to our plans, so of course we fell in love with a house and decided to put an offer on it on Christmas Eve and to our surprise the house was ours. The house is a perfect fit for our family with room to grow. We now have nice big bedrooms for all of us, a big kitchen, a nice big room for the family to get together and hang out in, a place to store all of our junk and TOYS, and a huge plus, a front and back yard! And it is within miles of my parents and sister's houses. We couldn't have asked for much more :) So a few days after DJ left we closed escrow on our new house and it is now up to me to get us all moved in before we leave for Japan.
Thank goodness for family!!! My poor parents were "hired" to help me pack up our entire house in about a week. My mom of course got stuck packing the kitchen and continues to joke that I have enough glasses for a cruise ship and my dad got stuck packing all of the heavy stuff while I went back and forth from packing to the kids. Talk about a crazy time, but somehow we managed to pack it all up and have it ready for the movers! I am pretty proud of us :) Then the movers came... and of course of all days it had to poor down rain! So my one day move turned out to be a two day move!!! But we survived the weather and the moving and have now "moved in" to our new house (I actually haven't slept there yet but our stuff is all moved in... so that counts). Now I just have a big mess of boxes to sort through and put away. So much fun!
Tessa trying to survive and help packing!!! She would make messes and try to sleep anywhere... poor girl!
Congrats on the move.. I am glad you made it!! I hope all is going well and happy to hear your family is so close now. If time permits, perhaps we can get together before you leave for Japan again. Have a great week!!
