I realized that I haven't posted an update about the new house situation in awhile. A LOT has happened! Our plans are finalized, or should I say finalized enough that we signed our contract with the builder about 3 weeks ago. Little did we know, it is a long time between when you sign the contract and when you actually see progress...the first tree has yet to come down on the lot. The builder warned us about this slight disappointment and assured us that plenty is going on behind the scenes. They are working to get all the necessary paperwork over to our lender, ordering soil tests, and surveys and starting the process with the HOA. In the meantime, we have been on the hunt for the brick and stone that we want to use on the outside of the house. We FINALLY think we have decided on that. Think is the operative word in that sentence!
Last weekend we decided to take another step in this big transition that we weren't planning on doing until much later...we put our house up for sale. We were going to wait until closer to completion on the new house but the market is great right now and we really didn't want to miss out on that. These days we are pharmaceutical rep and NOV sales manager by day and Brooks Realty at night! We decided to try our luck at selling another house by owner. We had huge success going this route with our last house and are hoping good luck will strike us twice! As excited as I am about the new house, the prospect of saying goodbye to the house that we brought both girls home from the hospital to is a little sad! Nonetheless we have many amazing memories here and I can't wait to see the memories that we will make on Blue Cedar Court!
