Moving and Selling

It's almost official!!

We will officially have our house up for sale by this Saturday. 

When Ryan came home from Afghanistan it was to a new job in the Woodlands.  That's great, we love him having a job right after coming home except that we live in the Cypress area which is very far away from the Woodlands. 

 I love my house. 
I love the open spaces. 
I love all the space and nooks and crannies that I've been afforded in this house. 

I do not love my small yard. 
 I do not love sitting on my front patio and having people's car lights in my eyes because we are at the cross street. 

We decided it would time well spent to just look and see what houses were available near Ryan's office.  We happened to find an older home that has an large, shaded big back yard and a covered patio.  It has a big garage and a storage shed and it's only 8 miles from ryan's office. 

Woohoo. 

The downside, no gameroom and an itty bitty kitchen/pantry.  It also has wood paneling throughout the living room and a fireplace. 

But I can live without a game room and I can paint over the walls and one day redo my kitchen if it means my family can have an awesome back yard and we can be minutes from Ryan's office.

So we put an offer on it and after some negotiations they agreed to sell us their house.  We will be closing next week and moving out of our house about two weeks later.  We will have our house listed this weekend but only living here while it's listed for a few weeks.  Hopefully, all our updates and paint will help our house sell fast so we only have one mortgage to worry about.  I'll post pics soon of our new house. 

I can't wait to get in the new house and paint, paint, paint!!
