House Update!

We sold!  After all the stress with hiring a realtor, it ended up being For Sale By Owner in the end, ha!  Cracks me up.  I am convinced that the Lord had a definite plan and wanted specific people to be in our house cuz the roller coaster we rode was crazy!  But, all is well that ends well and we are good to go!  We are slated to move out end of June and we *may* have a place to move--it is crazy the cost of rentals!! But...all is well that ends well and if I've learned one thing from this is that the Lord has a plan and I'm just along for the ride--trying to enjoy the ride! :)

We've been meeting with our architect and our plans have been firmed up and we are headed towards permits with the city.  Our lot is under contract and once we get the construction loan approved, we are good to go.  I am nervous about moving out of our home and ward not having closed on the construction loan, but I am reminding myself to move forward with faith and that we've done our part so to give Heavenly Father the chance to do His.

The name of the game for us on this house is to get the bones right, and do all the fluff stuff later. We love to be projecting, so to move into a house with nothing to do would actually be a bit boring for us.  In the years to come we will make our yard amazing, install fabulous trim treatments, and lots of cute decor.  For now, it might look a bit bland, but the bones will be there and they are going to be awesome!


It's a rambler, with craftsman finishes and it's going to be blue! :)  We are finishing the upstairs for now, and one bedroom in the basement.  It might be a bit tight until we finish the basement, but based upon the apartments we will be potentially moving into, it will be a big step up! Ha!
