We Sold It!

After almost exactly seven years in this house (our first house together), we have sold it! Being that Brian will be finishing his PhD early next summer, and we don't yet know if there will be a job for him in Tallahassee, we decided that we would put our house on the market. We thought it might take a while to sell it for the price we wanted, and figured if and when it did sell we would rent until we knew if we would be staying in or leaving Tallahassee. Well surprisingly, but thankfully, after only about 3 weeks on the market the first person to view the house made us an offer. Since it was only the first offer, we decided to counter offer for pretty close to the listing price. To our shock again, they accepted! So we will be packing up all of our stuff, our memories and moving into our temporary home in just 3 weeks!! Thankfully it worked out to be renting a friend's house only a few minutes away from where we currently live.
Before we started dismantling even more of our stuff, I decided to take some pictures so we can remember where we started our family and made so many wonderful memories. When we told Madison we were moving, she got very emotional about it and didn't want to leave. So, we had a good lesson about houses and "things", and explained that what makes a home special is all of us living in it. So as we continue to box our lives up I will be trying hard to remember that lesson myself!
