More Excuses...

I have really been slacking on blogging lately but I do have some excuses that I think are pretty valid (and maybe some not so valid but we won't go into those)...so, here are some of the reasons why we haven't been staying caught up here!

Sick
We've had a lot of sickness going on around this house. Clay ended up home sick for an entire week in January with Bronchitis, shortly after that, I got Strep, then Clay got Strep and then both kids came down with a mild case of RSV.

We've spent a lot of time in PJ's and watched a lot of movies (discovered Will loves Toy Story)! With the sickness and the cold weather, we've spent a lot of time cooped up inside! We are all ready for spring to come and stay!





House for Sale
The other main reason why I have been slacking is because we decided it was time to move out of here and we wanted to try and take advantage of the tax credit. We started looking online at the available homes and went out to see some a few times. We found a short sale in Daybreak that we liked and we were considering putting an offer in.

We decided to check out a new Ivory Homes development that was near Daybreak. While checking that out, we went to see a few other developments and ended up finding a house we loved. It is a spec home that is already built and in a great neighborhood. We put an offer in and we eventually settled on a price and gave them a deposit to hold the house for us.


So, we had to hurry and get things cleaned up and cleaned out here so we could put our town home on the market. It was a lot of work to get it ready but once it was done, it looked like a whole new house! We rented a storage unit to put all our extra stuff in so that it doesn't look cluttered.



The house has been up for about a month now and we've had a ton of showings. We are really hoping that someone will come through soon and make an offer that we can accept. We are so ready to move! It is a pain to keep the house so clean and it doesn't really feel like our space anymore (although, we really love it here and are really going to miss our friends and neighbors).

Addie really wants to move to the new house because "it has a fireplace for Santa to come through." We don't have the heart to tell her that there is no actual "chimney" because it's a gas fireplace. We are really just looking forward to more space and an actual yard for the kids to run around in.

If you know anyone looking for a town home, this is a great location and a great house for a great price! Here is the link to the MLS site with more info and pictures (click on the tour) in case anyone is interested.

We are just hoping and praying that everything will work out for us to get this house!
