We did it!

This is our soon-to-be new neighborhood.

Yes, we are moving.  And this time I KNOW it is time to move on.  After receiving that lovely letter, Tim and I had a discussion again about moving.  I kept thinking there is absolutely no way we can sell our house for what we need to get out of it.  But after fasting and praying, our answer has been that it is okay to move on and it is okay to build our dream home.  However, it doesn't mean I am not having panic attacks about the whole thing!

We still have this house - but I know that things will work out.  I still don't know how it will work out, but I know it will be okay.  If we can't sell, then we'll rent out the house.  Does that make me nervous?  Heck yes!  Have I had panic attacks?  Heck yes!  Big panic attacks - but following the panic attacks comes the peace I felt when the decision was made to move.

We are really excited about our house.  Remember me telling you about the house I fell in love with last year?  Well, I still love that one - but have found one I love even more.  It is much bigger than last year's house - wayyyyyy bigger.  It has a to-die-for kitchen that I absolutely love and can't think of how I will fill all the drawers and cabinets.  Seriously.  It has about 8 cabinets and drawers more than what we have now.  It has a huge island.  Our table will look small in the dining area.  The master bathroom and closet are huge (and we've already had to tell Ster more than once that it was NOT his room).  We have a full basement - unfinished of course.  This house is a rambler - and for any of you who have seen our house, the new house has 60 square feet more on the main level than our current house has on all levels.  Huge!  I keep asking myself why we are building such a huge house - but all I can say is that I have fallen in love with the plan.  Who knows - the basement may be Ster's future living quarters!

Today we finished picking out what is going to go into the home.  We picked out stuff yesterday, but had to finish up today and after thinking about things overnight I changed my mind on a couple of things.  Luckily, I won't be able to change my mind much more - our preconstruction meeting may be moved up a month so construction may start a heck of a lot sooner than we anticipated.

So, now that plans are in full swing we figured we could make our little announcement.  Now we just have to have faith that things will work out with this house.

Does anyone want to buy a Jeep?  It is a great vehicle (if you don't take into consideration that the gas milage sucks) with low miles.  You may see that on KSL soon if we need a little extra cash to get out of here!
