Six years ago, almost down the the exact month, Derek and I told ourselves that we would move into the big model in our neighborhood someday. A month ago, we did just that. My two years of school, late hours, and endless studying has definitely paid off. We finally have enough space for us to live comfortably without feeling so cramped. Doubling in size is definitely worth the hassle of moving and money spent doing it. As for our other house, we currently have a renter and it's working out so far.
I think we timed it pretty well. Although housing prices are continuing to fall, we are in the house we've always liked and we are on a lot with no neighbors behind us which is nice. We looked at a couple other houses and even put an offer and got accepted on another in Villago, but in the end, we decided to stay in our neighborhood since Taitum's school is right in the center of our development. I think changing schools can be a difficult thing for kids and I wanted to try to avoid that if at all possible. So here we are....still lots to unpack, but the necessities...atleast in my eyes, are complete. The entire house is painted (with exception of bedrooms/bathrooms), the kitchen is done (appliances are now matching) and we finally have our playset moved over from the old house!! Here are some pics of what it took to get the girls' playset over here! Thank goodness for Papa having a friend with a crane business, otherwise this could've been quite a task for daddy!!
I will post house pics tomorrow!!
