We have lived in our house for close to 11 years. We bought when the market was high and stuck out a huge crash in the market (where our home almost lost half of it's value). Once again the market is up, and we are finally in a position to make a move. We are ready. We have loved our house, our neighbors, our ward, our friends, but we just need more space. We need space where we can have a moment to ourselves, a backyard to play in, somewhere besides the living room for Bryce to play with his toys, more room for when Chloe has her friends over, we just need more space. We started talking about it seriously a couple weeks ago. We met with a mortgage officer and got pre-approved for a new mortgage. We spent 5 days cleaning our house from top to bottom and making some needed repairs to get it ready to list. We spend a weekend looking at houses and found one we would like to buy. Then we put ours up for sale. Three days later we had accepted an offer on it.
We also put an offer in on the house we wanted to buy and it was accepted. We are excited! That being said the next few weeks will be crazy. We need to pack and figure out the details of closing and moving since it's supposed to be right when we are headed to New York for Tanner's graduation trip. Along with packing and getting ready to go we have three graduations to attend. 1 graduation-Chloe's I am in charge of. I'm also planning a little dinner for Tanner's graduation. To top it all off we have a softball tournament one weekend. So it's going to be crazy around here for the next few weeks, but so worth it.
