Most people who know us are aware that we have had our house on the market on and off for the past couple of years. We listed our house again on February 1st of this year and with only one week left of our contract with our realtor we got an offer. After the typical 45-60 days of home inspection, appraisal, paperwork and all that goes into selling a house we are happy to announce that we are no longer home owners! A nice young couple bought our house and it sounds like they fell in love with it the same way that we did. They were looking for something with character that was move-in-ready. We closed last Thursday and spent the weekend moving. The great news is that we were able to find a great little house just down the street, seven houses down to be exact. That means that the same neighborhood that we have grown to love over the past 7 years won't change for us. That means that the playground that Charlotte likes to play at is still really close. And it means that we can keep an eye on the couple that bought our house to make sure they take good care of it :)
My mom flew in to help us pack, move and help watch Charlotte. We set up an event on Facebook, our friends showed up and we moved all of our worldly possessions on Saturday morning and were done by lunchtime. We can't say thanks enough to our friends that helped. It was an easy move and we were able to get our new house set up by the end of the weekend. Below are a couple of pictures. I chose not to include any pictures of our friends because everyone was a bit sweaty and gross from the move, but enjoy the couple shots of our family starting off with the last picture of the three of us on our old front porch.
Three of our friends let us use their pickup trucks saving us money on a uhaul. It's amazing what you can acquire in just 7 short years.
Charlotte even helped move things in....well....kinda.

Stay tuned for a post regarding our cool new backyard, that came equipped with a great firepit and deck that we have already broke in.
