We had been talking for a while about putting out house on the market and finally back in February, we decided to do it. We had several showing, but no one seemed to be interested. We kept the house as tidy as we possibly could and it seemed that showings would happen at the most inconvenient times. Long.Story.Short - after 5 gruesome months on the night of July 1st, 2012 we received our first offer that was worth considering. We knew how badly we wanted to move and after a few negotiations we had our first contract. We had to be out of the house on Aug 15th (45 days), which seemed like the next weekend to ANY 5 month pregnant woman for that matter.
All that was going through my mind was how in the world are we going to find somewhere to move or build in just a few short 45 days! I was quickly put back in my place since we had to wait the 10 day grace period. I'm not going to bore myself or anyone with the details, but everything went well with the move and we are very happy in our new home.
This was our old house the day we moved out.
We closed on this home December 6, 2006. This house will always be so special to me. This was our very first home (we weren't even married yet). Shortly after moving in Jeremy brought home my first dog. Jeremy proposed to me in this house. After we married, we returned from our Honeymoon to this house. We brought home our first baby girl to this house. She took her very first steps inside this house. And most importantly, we made this house OUR HOME for the next 6 1/2 years.
This was and will be the very last family picture in front of our first home. Finley was 2, and I was 6 months pregnant with our second baby girl. Wednesday, August 15, 2012 was a very sad day for this momma, but we have so many better things to look forward to on our next journey.
