Housing

Since we don't really have enough going on in our lives right now, Cory and I have decided to take the plunge and sell our house so we can move on to something that suits our family a little better. We love our neighborhood, and we love a lot of the things about our house, but there are also a lot of things about this house we don't love...the big one being only 2 bedrooms on the main level.

We have a lot of work ahead of us. I have kind of started the process by going through the house and starting to eliminate the clutter. I hate clutter anyway, so I am actually really enjoying this part. I have boxes of stuff ready to take to consignment and I can't wait to be free of it. I already feel lighter! :)

The next part of the process is what I am not looking forward too...painting. Ick. And we have a lot of it to do. I am afraid this process is going to take longer than I anticipated, but our intention is to list our house and start the process to purchase a lot in the subdivision we have been eyeing for some time now, and begin the process of building our hopefully forever home. So we may end up in a real bind having to try to sell this house before we can close on a new house, or we may end up in a different bind if we sell this house and need to get out of it before our other house is done. I am really hoping that scenario 2 is the problem we run in to, if we have a problem. Wish us luck as we start this process, I have a feeling that it will be causing me a lot of extra anxiety, but I have been thinking and praying on this for a long time, and I feel comfortable that this is right for us. Now I am really hoping we can afford to build the house we want!
