So, Drew and I have been talking about moving for quite some time. When we built our house four years ago, we thought we were making a good choice. We built a home that we thought would be perfect for entertaining guests. The problem is that our home is simply too far away from everything. We drive an hour to work each morning and an hour home each evening. We spend approximately $125/week in gas and we have put 76,000 miles on our Honda, which we bought brand new 2 years ago.
The house down the street has been for sale for a few months. This morning, I was extremely excited to see a "sold"sign on it. You see...there is an empty lot on our street and they are still building in our subdivision. We just assumed that someone looking for a house would want to build a new one. I called the realtor and she said that she has sold three houses in our neighborhood in the last two months. So, we took the plunge and set up an appointment for her to come over. As of this Thursday, our home will most likely be on the market.
We have no idea where we will go, but we don't mind the adventure of house hunting again. We are really excited about the convenience of living closer to work, closer to our friends, and closer to everything we like to do.
As always, we have a lot going on right now. Drew's surgery is scheduled for June 15th. We are taking our oldest nephew to Washington DC in August, and I am starting my Ph.D. this fall. However, I still find freedom in knowing that we don't HAVE to move right now. We'll just see what comes our way.
We'll take whatever prayers you want to send our way! We are excited to set out on another series of new adventures together.
