House Update

Well, it's been a few months since I last wrote about selling our house..and good grief was that crushing. We have since made some changes and I am so excited to announce that we finally sold my house! As I mentioned previously, we listed our house during one of the worst winters. More than that though, I think (well, I know!) we listed with the wrong realtors. Charlie and I started having doubts about our realtor when we would see constant facebook posts of him at the bar (in the middle of the day), him sitting at home with his dogs, etc. We didn't worry too much because we were still getting showings, but something just didn't feel right for us. Luckily we were out of contract with this realtor at the end of March. The very next day we listed with our new realtor, Heather. Ah-MAY-ZING. Within one week, we had three offers, and ended up selling the house for nearly full asking price. She was just absolutely awesome to work with. She helped us stage the house, told us what to expect, stayed in constant contact with us, etc. She was just a breath of fresh air after what we had been through in the past six months. I can't say enough great things about her!!! (If you're in the FTW area and looking for a realtor, PLEASE let me know! I'll give you her info! You won't be sorry!)
We are less than a week away from closing on both my house and our new house!! We found a GREAT place that will be absolutely perfect for our family of four (and yes, we will remain ONLY a family of four..don't let our five bedrooms fool you). This house has everything that we both wanted in our new home and I am just so excited to get moved in and settled. We said we wanted a "forever home" together. We wanted a place where we would raise the kids together. A place where our kids would have sleepovers and birthday parties. A place we could invite our friends and family over for BBQ's. A place where we would have family game night, family movie night. A place where out-of-town family and friends could stay. A place that we wouldn't outgrow. This is definitely that place!
I am excited to start this new adventure with my husband and kids. We have had an exciting year and I know things will continue to get busier and crazier, but I truly love that this house is a place for the four of us to grow together in all aspects of our life. I love that I have the three of them alongside me for this next journey.
