We've Moved!!

No more last minute house showings, no more inspections, no more appraisals, no more realtors!!! We are done with all that and are now living in our new home! It is such a nice feeling to be able to stretch out and relax. We haven't fully unpacked yet, but there is no hurry.  We have 30 years to get it done right? It came down to the wire in the end.  The couple that bought our house had to be out of their apartment by Thursday morning and we closed on the sale of our home and the purchase of the new house Wednsday morning.  With a lot of help we were able to move in 6 hours!! It was like ripping the band aid off quickly so there is less pain.  I have had a hard time letting go of our old house.  We basically built that house and Logan and Baylee have done most of their growing up there, and Hayden and Reagan took their first steps in that living room.  A lot of our families memories are wrapped up in that house and we will never forget our first "HOME"

We have been in the new house for almost a week and already I have noticed some big differences in our family.  Logan and Baylee don't fight as much as they did.  Hayden and Reagan don't seem as bored and haven't been as distructive as they were.  My stress is at a much healthier level.  Eric even seems happier and less stressed. I am posting some pictures of the house, but I haven't gotten it all decorated yet and the outside isn't all cleaned up yet.  Once we get it all put away and beautified I will post some new pictures.  We are having a landscape designer come in and work some magic with the yard.  It is 1 acre on a hill so it is a challenge and I don't even know where to start. I can't wait to see what he comes up with. We need grass!!!

We are also going to start finishing the basement in the next few weeks.  We were able to qualify for the government tax credit so thanks uncle sam for your contribution!  Right now the house is a 3 bedroom 2 bath with a laundry room on the main level. 2 car garage.  Once the basement is finished it will be a  7 (6 legal) bedroom since one room doesn't have a window it can't be counted as a bedroom...I will use that room for my vinyl and crafts. 3 bathroom, 2 living rooms, with a walk out basement. I can't wait to see it all finished!
Enjoy the pics!
